We hope many Nordic Rocks schools had an opportunity to connect their Nordic Rocks program with events and festivities surrounding the Olympic Games.
Each school received a Learn to Ski Certificate, signed my Minnesota skier Jessie Diggins. Jessie and her teammate Kikkan Randall won a gold medal at the Pyeongchang Games.
They are the first American cross country skiers to medal at the Olympics since Bill Koch took home a silver in 1976.

Today we started with the shuffle, shuffle, glide… I called it slide slide glide, so if you talk to a kid from Prairie Farm that’s my fault! They were able to pick up some speed and really felt like they were skiing!
It has been a big hit so far, the 2nd graders were getting dressed to go skiing 20 minutes before class, their teachers had to pull them back in and tell them they had a lot of time before class! So far every grade KGN-6th has been out enjoying the outdoors and skiing! Again thanks a ton for providing this opportunity for our kids.
