On December 11, 2025, Tecumseh Elementary honoured Vivian Jung. In 1950, Jung became the first Chinese person hired by VSB. She taught at Tecumseh Elementary for 35 years. The school unveiled a mural, designed by artists Janet Wang and Stella Zheng, celebrating her legacy. Tecumseh students helped with the project.
Tecumseh's Vivian Jung Celebration included a poetry reading, a tribute from Lance Carey (a former colleague of Jung's), a word from the artists, a tribute from Cynthia Kent (Jung's daughter) and a choir performance of "The Wind Beneath My Wings." Videos were also screened during the event, including one that featured the full mural and several detailed scenes within the intricate design.
The mural
The mural features isometric perspective (visual representations of three-dimensional objects in two dimensions) and incorporates monoprints from one classroom in every grade. "It's similar to the Sims where nothing really gets smaller as things are farther away, so you get an even look at everything in the mural," says Zheng. "There was so much to try and capture, and this was a nice way to do that," adds Wang.
