• 2023 EIGHTH GRADE SACRAMENTO FIELD TRIP

    “STEP INTO CALIFORNIA HISTORY”

    There is no better way to learn about our rich California history than to experience it. That is precisely what our eighth-grade students did. In April and May, 350 eighth-grade students from all the OMSD middle and K-8 schools set out for a five-day field trip to Northern California. This is the tenth year of this trip, which continues to grow in popularity. Three trips were needed this year to accommodate all the students. 

    While at Marshal Goldfield Discovery Park, students panned for gold, took the Discovery Tour and river rafted on the American River. While in the City of Sacramento, students toured the State Capitol and met with our State Assemblyperson, Freddie Rodriguez. Students visited Old Town Sacramento, where they toured the California Railroad Museum, and the Sacramento History Museum, participated in a history scavenger hunt, and they took the amazing Underground Tour. On that same day, they traveled to UC Davis for a campus tour and ate in the Segundo Dining Commons. After experiencing the large assortment of foods and all they could eat at the dessert bar, students were ready to sign up for college. On the last day, students traveled to San Francisco where they toured Alcatraz Island, rode the Cable Cars, toured a WWII Submarine (USS Pampanito), visited the Arcade Museum, and spent free time on Pier 39.

    This was an amazing adventure for our OMSD eighth-grade students. It will be a memory that will not soon be forgotten.
