I'm Jeanne Ulmer and am the library/media specialist at Eden Lake Elementary in Eden Prairie, MN. Over the past couple of years, our school has been pretty active in using the Iditarod to not only learn about the race and dogs and adventure, but also to connect to the various schools and cultures at the checkpoint villages.
This will be my first trip to Alaska -- can't wait! The conference experience will be wonderful, and my sweetie will be joining me for the week after the conference for some touring and hiking.
A coworker, Ann, and I will be arriving on Sat. the 21st at 5:20. I'm pretty sure we'll be renting a car from there, but we've yet to make those arrangements...end of the school year busy-ness, AG!
Can't wait!
Jeanne

Jeanne,
I have been on your school website. I met the teacher that flew with Gary Paulsen during the Iditarod during last summer conference,(I can't remeber her name) and I met John at the race this year. Do you have a 4th grade opening at your school? Ha!
Ha! You guys do a great job with Iditarod. I have checked out your school website. Lots of great stuff.
How exciting for you to be going to the conference! Have a super time!

Hi Judi -- we'd love to have you! Sheryl Cater has been involved with the Iditarod for years and has been able to attend the race several times. Both Sheryl and John went this year, but for only about 4 days.
I'm looking forward to the conference!
Jeanne,
Yes, I should have remembered Sheryl's name. She is amazing.
Have a great time at the conference and safe travels!
Judi
