 Angie's Mushing Adventures
My Dream, My Love and My Life . . .
     I grew up and have lived most of my life in Ketchikan, Alaska. I was the first person from Ketchikan to compete in and complete the Iditarod. This will be my second running of Iditarod. I completed the 2011 Iditarod in 13 days 1 hour 49 minutes and 24 seconds. I came in 43rd out of 63 mushers. I had the time of my life and I hope to take what I learned on my inaugural run and improve on my second run down the trail to Nome!!

Elizabeth Peratrovich Celebration

In the past, Ms. Scudero and I honored and celebrated Elizabeth Peratrovich Day (February 16th) together. This year, Ms. Scudero and I planned a school-wide celebration! We had behind the scenes people helping like Mrs. Nelson. Each grade did a presentation. 
Our special thanks to all who helped to make our celebration a success.
