Caroline and Fjord came to our school and engaged the children in learning about mountain safety. Of course the star was Fjord who behaved perfectly and really hooked the children into the important message being put across. Caroline is a fabulous advocate for her cause, and an excellent role model for young girls who want to enter a male dominated field. Great morning had by all.
