A Package for WFTOTT Jane

Mail Call!

A package arrive at ITC HQ on Friday from WFTOTT Kim Slade. Although my name was on the package, we knew that what was in side the box was for the 2008 WFTOTT Jane. Jane opened the package and removed the Official Wells Fargo Teacher on the Trail sleeping bag.

Each year, the WFTOTT takes this sleeping bag with on Iditarod Trail. It is a special sleeping bag because each of the previous WFTOTT'S have designed and placed a patch on the sleeping bag to represent their particular year as Wells Fargo Teacher on the Trail.

During the next few months, Jane will be creating her patch and placing it on the sleeping bag. At the 2008 Iditarod Teacher Conference right before the next race, those at the conference will see her design and 'meet' the sleeping bag.
