IditarodEDU Black Transparent

2027 Postcard Challenge

We would love your class or homeschool family to join our 9th annual Iditarod Postcard Challenge! 

The purpose of our Postcard Challenge is to connect Iditarod classrooms to other classrooms around the United States and beyond. If you join the project, you are committing to sending postcards to each class on the list between the first week of January and when the first musher leaves the Iditarod starting line, March 6, 2027.  In your postcard message, we ask you to tell a little about your state and what you look forward to in the 2027 Iditarod.  You can add information about your state’s symbols, things your state is known for, fun things to do in your state, your favorite thing about your state, or anything you want to share. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about our 50 United States!

The list for the challenge will be out when you return to school in January so it’s a great project to get students back into writing after a holiday break. 

If you want to join the program, send your name, your school name and address, and what grade you teach to  linda.fenton@iditarod.com
