Blue Ridge Teacher To Travel To Japan This October Blue Ridge Elementary Art Teacher, DeDe Tersteeg, will depart for Tokyo, Japan as a participant in the Fulbright Memorial Fund (FMF) Teacher Program.

Beginning their visit in Tokyo, they will receive a practical orientation on Japanese life and culture and meet with Japanese government officials and educators. They then will travel in groups of 20 to prefectures (states) throughout Japan where they will have direct contact with Japanese teachers and students during visits to primary and secondary schools as well as a teachers college.
