"The Last Great Race" Speaker

Which U.S. state is the furthest north...and west...and east?
The answer? ALASKA!
To kick off our Iditarod unit, we were able to listen to Mr. Dent, a local, two-time Iditarod finisher, speak at Calvert school. We are so excited for the start of the race (March 5th) after learning so much from a real musher!
Mr. Dent showed us his red lantern...be sure to ask your son what that means!

A Calvert student even got to experience Iditarod Race gear!


He was VERY toasty!
