DECATUR (AP) — A week in the Alaska wilderness, getting around by kayak and roughing it, led South Shores School teacher Teri Moore to keep a list of "28 Things I've Never Done Before."

"We had never kayaked in our lives," said fellow teacher Kristi Mullinix, who applied for a grant from Archer Daniels Midland Co. that helped pay for the trip. "Teri had always camped in places where you can walk to the bathroom."

Mullinix saw a grant application for teachers to "think outside the box" and ask for assistance doing something they had always wanted to share with students but never thought they'd be able to.
