March Family Bulletin

Latest update from ALASKA!!
"I am currently working in Anchorage from midnight-6am. Folks out at the checkpoints report to us when mushers come in and then we get to update the website. Yes, I am loving every bit of this!"
Don’t forget that you and your students can now start tracking your mushers using the website and the GPS tracker. Email me if you have any trouble with that.
Today also starts our reading race! Each point that your student earns will move your grade level “down the trail” by 1 mile.
Here are some photos and videos to share with your students from the Restart in Willow today.
