Iditarod - Teacher on the Trail

Former Edwardsville resident and former N. O. Nelson student teacher, Kim Herrick Kavanagh, visited the N. O. Nelson second graders to tell them about her experiences as the Teacher On the Trail for the 2002 running of the Iditarod.

Mrs. Kavanagh introduces herself to the students.

Mrs. Kavanagh tells students how she flew in a small plane to each checkpoint on the race.

Mrs. Kavanagh received woven baskets and whale bone carvings from Alaskan natives.

N. O. Nelson's new computer projector was used for Mrs. Kavanagh's presentation. It was purchased through grants from the Citizen's Advisory Council, Wood River Refinery-Phillips 66, and the Nelson P. T. O.
