On Tuesday, Mar. 15th, Dallas Seavey became the first musher to cross the Iditarod finish line in Nome! We enjoyed tracking the race and celebrated as Dallas claimed his fourth first place finish, beating his own previous record for the fastest time in Iditarod history. Coming from a family of mushers, interestingly enough, Dallas' father finished this year's race in 2nd place---just behind his son!
While the Iditarod may be over, our IditaREAD is fully underway! Over the past two weeks we celebrated many more students as they read their way across the finish line.
Almost all mushers have made it to the halfway mark and I encourage them to keep on reading! It's quite an accomplishment to be able to say, "I've read 1,000 minutes!" Thank you for your continued support and for helping promote the importance of daily reading. They've all grown SO much as readers!
