After applying in December of 1999, I was chosen to be part of a group of 200 teachers and administrators from across the US to travel to Japan as part of the Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program. I will be leaving on November 12, 2000 and returning December 2nd. To find out more about this opportunity, go to this site: Fulbright Memorial Fund Teacher Program.

I am an academic enrichment teacher at Oliver Heckman Elementary School in Langhorne, PA.

Thanks to the following people for their help and support:

• my students for their help with the web page
• Mr. I, Mr. W. and Mrs. C. for providing wonderful references for my application
• Mrs. R. and the rest of the Neshaminy administrators who agreed to my participation
• Mrs. B. for all her wonderful "gifts"
• Heckman PTO for providing funding for "Japan artifacts"
• my daughter for her webpage help
• my husband for taking care of himself for 3 weeks
