On Wednesday, Mar. 14th, Joar Liefseth Ulsom became the first musher to cross the Iditarod finish line in Nome! We enjoyed tracking the race and celebrated as Joar claimed his first, first place finish, beating the infamous Seavey family for the first time since 2011! Coming from Norway, Joar is only the third non-American to ever win the race! He finished the race in 9 days and 12 hours.
While the Iditarod may have been won, our IditaREAD is still fully underway! Over the past week, we celebrated several students as they read their way across the finish line.
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!
