Back To School

January 18, 2008
Sonya Schmidt is a fantastic teacher at Tri-Valley High School in Healy. Pictured here is her Alaska Studies class. A great bunch of kids, Sonya has incorporated following my trip into their school work. i did a presentation for the class bringing in some of my gear and telling the story of Sheldon. The questions were fast, thoughtful and excellent.

This my friends, is what it is all about.

Healy is a wonderful community located on the Northeast end of Denali National Park. Many of these same kids take part in the Denali Education Center's programs including Denali Discovery Camp and Denali Backcountry Adventures.

i love this photo. Without any prompting these kids show the friendship that living in a closeknit community brings.
