The 8th graders at Holy Cross once again followed the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race in Mrs. Opsteen-Van Dyke;s language arts class. As it happens every year, a few students declared that some day they would like to try mushing too. well, 8th graders recently had the opportunity to meet a former students of Mrs. OVD's that did just that. Alisha and her dog Cookie came and spoke to the students about her adventures giving sled dog tours in New Hampshire and Alaska. While in Alaska last summer Alisha had the opportunity to run Iditarod champion Martin Buser's dogs on Mendenhall Glacier. The 8th graders enjoyed seeing the pictures of her adventures and meeting retired sled dog,Cookie.
