Specialist Schedules

Special Guests

We have been studying the Iditarod for the past couple of weeks. We anxiously await the first musher's arrival in Nome. As a class, we are following 2 mushers: Paul Gebhardt and Aliy Zirkle. We had some special guests one day--a musher and some sled dogs! The kids were so excited to see actual sled dogs up close. One of the dogs had even run in the Iditarod 3 times with Martin Buser. It was such a wonderful experience for the kids. (Another 2nd grade class and the 3 5th grade classes joined us, too.)

That big dog's name is Goof. He was one of the kids' favorites.

One of our students even got to sit in the sled.
