A tradition going back to 1990... coming down with the ol' dysentery on the Oregon Trail (the original). @ASAEagles 8th graders attempt the fateful journey as part of their Manifest Destiny unit. https://t.co/pzeH1lBUt4

@trent_woodman @ASAEagles Good to know the trouncing you guys got years ago didn't completely demolish your sense of optimism. We teachers taught you well :)

[Mr. Matlak @Mr_Matlak]

Great games @ASAEagles 8th graders! You gave us a good scare! You've also joined the ranks of ten other 8th grade classes who have been humbled by the dazzling skills of the ASA staff. While some of that staff has changed over the years, the result is still the same. #11and0
