Here are some pictures from our Iditarod, which was held on Tuesday, March 24th. The kids had a lot of fun, but it was COLD (But hey, it was the Iditarod! What did we expect???)

Iditarod Teams






Here are the 5 teams racing in our Iditarod!

Idita"READ"


Here are the top 7 finishers in our Idita"READ." During the month of March, students had to "read" their way across Alaska. Every RC point got them 100 miles. Since the Iditarod is a 1,000+ mile race, the students had to get 10 RC points to accomplish this task! I am very proud of how hard the students worked to get this goal, and even more proud that they continued to read, take tests and get points even after they had their 10-point goal! 3A students earned a LOT of RC points in March!

Chayla - "Finished" her goal in 1 day! (She read a book & took a test worth 17 points!)
Mitchell & Mia - both finished in 5 days
Kaysha, Dylan S., Elle and Dylan T. - all tied and finished in 9 days
