Although summer may be on its way, eventually, I am still watching rebel snowflakes fall outside my window here in Montana. Meanwhile, our Team Managers have wrapped up their Idita-Read details with event-end celebrations, and I'll soon be asking them for some helpful feedback to help us make Idita-Read.org even better for 2012. Thanks to everyone for their enthusiasm and dedication!
Here's a short summary from our record-breaking year, now in our 5th season:
• Participating students: 4,768 (45% more than last year!)
• Teams: 160

We look forward to seeing our veterans - and newcomers - for next year's race. Meanwhile, stay tuned for our new offering, Read-A-Route!
