School Presentations ---

This page is dedicated to all the children that are interested in the great world of mushing and sled dog racing. I have given quite a few presentations now and I really think that it benefits the children. It really shows them that if they stick to their dreams and goals that they can REALLY accomplish anything they want.  It is nice for them too, because they aren't just hearing information from their teacher, but from an actual musher, and one that isn't much older than them. Click below to find the materials that I present to classrooms. Teachers, you are welcome to use this to teach your class if desired. There are also some pictures and a list of schools where I have presented.
