Life on the trail

Memorial Elementary School held its annual Oregon Trail Day on Friday, June 1. This is the second year activities were coordinated by volunteers Katie Newman and Jami Sims. Volunteers and students dressed the part and set out with covered wagons, working their way through interactive stations located all around the school yard.  The students were allotted a certain amount of money to purchase supplies and plan for what they might need. Along the way, they crossed rivers, traded goods, met Native Americans, signed Independence Rock, suffered snake bites, battled sicknesses and more.
