Thanks to all! The whole thing is still really overwhelming. 

OWP figured large in my application, and will be one of the programs that I
push to whomever will listen. I figure I have a forum, and I'll be sharing
more about our work. You all are the best.

Congrats, Claudia!  I saw the paper just today in the teacher's lounge and
let out a big "squee" for you.  You may get some of my 8th grade Bookmania
kids from Whittier soon.  :)
