By Joy Davis, Educational Journalist, Indiana
We haven’t
had snow yet in our part of Indiana, but Educational Journalist Joy Davis’ Basic Skills Class is ready. Well, at least in holiday spirit.
The class did research on the different dog teams that ran in the Iditarod in 1980’s and 90’s.
The students created a display showing mutts to pull the sled.
The lead dog is a dachshund. The musher is “Denali” a sled dog that Mrs. Davis received at Vern Halter’s Dream a Dream Dog Farm for placing first in the bootie race among fellow campers at the Teacher’s Iditarod Boot Camp last June.
