Dear BIS Parents,
Warm greetings from Sunny Chung, the BIS elementary music teacher. I am so excited to start a new school year with your child. I cannot wait to see our students fill the school with melodies and artistry, which resound with the passion for learning and working together.
Here is a little background about me: It is my fourth year teaching at BIS. Before BIS, I used to teach at a French Immersion Elementary School in B.C. Canada. I studied at the University of Toronto to acquire my Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Education. I am both Ontario and British Columbia certified teacher.
There is a saying that it takes a whole community to raise a child. I cannot agree more with this. To ensure the success of our students, the parents and teachers need to work as a team. Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions and concerns. I will be more than happy to hear from you regarding any matter with your child or the music program.
Supply List for Music – Grades 1, 2, 3, and 4 do not need to bring anything to music class. Grades 5 and 6 need to purchase a soprano ukulele by October (October 4th). Please see the attached Music Class Supply List for further information.
Contact – I look forward to meeting you on September 14/15th during Virtual Meet the Teacher night. Please do not hesitate to contact me first about anything concerning your child at any time. Questions and concerns can be sent through email.
I am looking forward to an extremely enlightening year with your child.
Sincerely,
Sunny JY Chung

About Mrs. Chung
Dear BIS family and friends,
Here is a little background about me: My name is Sunny Ji-Yeon Chung. This is my 3rd year here at BIS. I've immensely enjoyed working with our talented and lovely BIS students. I love that my two sons attending BIS are surrounded by well-mannered, kind, and bright students. The caring teachers and lovely students create a friendly and warm atmosphere of this school, making me proud to be part of BIS.
I studied at the University of Toronto to acquire a Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Education. I am both an Ontario and British Columbia certified teacher. Before coming to BIS, I worked at a French Immersion Elementary School in B.C. Canada as the primary music teacher. This school had a similar atmosphere and school culture as BIS; eager students, supportive parents, and collaborative teaching and administrative teams.
Before working as a music teacher, I enjoyed working as a volunteer school mom in my sons' public school in Canada and Christian school in my neighborhood, helping put up the musical and school concerts. I carry many fond memories of my schools in Canada, and I am so grateful that I can continue to add to them here at BIS with absolutely amazing people I am honored to work with.
My prime goal as a music educator is to help children to utilize music as a tool in expressing their feelings and ideas - in an environment where the students feel safe and welcomed. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and concerns about your child or the music program.
I look forward to a year in which we will learn to overcome challenges with a positive and caring attitude.

BIS School Song
1)We, here at BIS, let’s march into the world and share God’s love,
We open all our hearts, To our divine mission,
Let God’s great providence
Be revealed in us.
2)We, here at BIS, proclaim the word of God, with open hearts.
Though we may face hardship, We will never give up,
Let God’s great love and grace
Be revealed in us.
3)We, here at BIS, gain knowledge and wisdom to share with all.
All corners of our world, All those in need of care,
With open arms and minds
We will be there.
4)We, here at BIS, nurtured by truth and love,
We will march on, Wherever we may go,
Let God’s divine light show,
Casting aside all shadow,
BIS will shine on.
