Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ms. McAfee has been named to receive the 1998

country selected for this honor. The criterion for this award includes 
exceptional educational talent and promise and distinguished 
achievement in developing innovative educational curricula, programs 
and/or teaching methods. Within her school, Zuni Elementary, Ms. McAfee 
provides leadership and models the behaviors identified in the

teachers at Zuni Elementary, supporting a team environment for children 
to learn.
  This Award is the reflection of the many lives Mary McAfee has 
touched. With all of the talk about how to improve education, Mary 
McAfee is actually making those improvements for the children of Zuni 
Elementary and for our great community of Albuquerque, New Mexico. 
Please join me in thanking and honoring Mary McAfee for those 
contributions.
