Press Time (Attention New Yorkers)

So, this is a bit short notice (just found out and is alleviated by the wonders of the internet), but in Today's New York Post (3/18), there is a small albeit important and exciting article about a project that my sister and I have begun. When my laziness subsides I will explain in much more detail, but our students (hers in Brooklyn, mine in Japan) have been writing pen-pal letters to each other since October. What started as a pretty simple English lesson has blossomed in to a much larger lesson in cultural understanding and five months later, the students continue to write to each other across the ocean (and the number of students writing to Japan has increased to over one hundred). Sara has taken it even further and started a campaign to send about thirty of her students to Japan in June. It has become an infectious project throughout her school, MS113, and the students are working hard to raise money to come to the land of their new friends. In the Post today is a short bit about this effort. Check it out!!!
