A big "Thank you!" to the parents who helped on the Sacramento field trip: Cal Dalrymple, Cris Daugbjerg, Lisa Gala, Sue Leonard, Amy Sullivan, and Kristin Van Weele. We could not have managed without you! Once in Sacramento students started out at the California State Capitol, where they got to tour the building and then listen to lobbyist (and former Novato resident) Chris Tjernell talk about his job. Then it was on to the California Museum of History, Women, and the Arts where students got to see many different things related to people in California, including Native American baskets and one of General Chuck Yeager's flight suits. We got back on the buses and headed to Sutter's Fort to eat lunch and then look around the fort. All in all a fun and productive day.
