Alaska has its famous trail sled dog race---the Iditarod. Laraway has its iKIDarod! Four teams comprised of kids and staff from Laraway School built homemade sleds from old skis and pieces of wood. They raced along a snowy trail on our property.
Team members took turns pulling their "musher" while stopping and changing roles at designated stops. Each stop presented an obstacle, a task to be completed---solving a math problem, completing a crossword, and even quick-changing socks---before racing to the finish line.
"We do it because it's a great way to build school spirit," says Dave Ward, Laraway's Outdoor Adventure Education Teacher.
