With the kick off of the race approaching quickly, the racers of the Pedigree Stage Stop have been visiting classrooms throughout the state.  

 

Students have had the opportunity to see first hand what goes into the sport of racing, the dogs that have put in months of training, and the athletes that have dedicated so much of their time to participate in this epic event. 

 

In the classrooms students have been preparing for the visits also. Classrooms have read the racers biographies, mapped the race throughout our wonderful state, and learned the basics of sled dog racing. I am also guessing there was a large amount dog petting and kid licking that went on!
