Hermantown Elementary Jamaican Musher Encounter :-)

Thursday and Friday before Snowflake International Robb and I did two different school functions. On Thursday Proctor High School sent 18 students out to the kennel. They got to visit with all the dogs and talk to Robb about mushing and Jamaica. Their teacher Mrs. Vicki Lee said the students enjoyed it. It was a great 2 hours. On Friday we went to Hermantown Elementary School and did an hour long visit with the 2nd and 3rd graders. They had already been studying the Itidarod and the Yukon Quest and were following Newton online, they had also watched 'Sun Dogs'. The whole school learns about mushing from the librarian Mrs. Juntenen. The kids loved Robb and got to ask a lot of good questions. We took 3 dogs with us and they were a hit also. We enjoy doing this so much and it seems like the kids had a great learning experience.
