A Visit With a Sled Dog Team























Thanks to our generous PTO, we visited with a sled dog team.  Becky Tucker from Outlaw Ridge Siberians brought her team of dogs to our school to talk about her hobby as a sled dog musher and racer.  Becky has over 30 siberian huskies.  Her love and dedication to these dogs was very evident in her presentation.  Becky is a veterinary nurse and takes good care of all her dogs.  The children learned a lot about sled dog racing and caring for the dogs and equipment used in racing.  This was a great culminating activity for our study of sled dogs and the Iditarod.  A big thank you to Becky and the PTO for providing this activity for us.
