Coloma “Gold Rush” Overnight Trip
The 4th Grade class had an overnight field trip to the Gold Country – to Coloma. This is near Sutter’s Mill, the site where gold was first discovered in California. They were on their field trip for 3 days and 2 nights.
The 4th graders “lived like” the people who came from all over the country and the world in the mid-1800’s, by the thousands, to seek their fortune from panning gold.
They wore close to authentic clothing and each were given a souvenir green bandanna. They also panned for gold and found a few flakes.
They learned about how gold was panned from the rivers and streams in the area. They also learned about the history of California during the Gold Rush days.
This is the most memorable field trip for the 4th graders.
Halloween 2009 – Ace of Spades
For Halloween, AMS wore an Ace of Spades costume that had been worn previously at Escondido by a former student some 15 years ago. The fingernails and lipstick fill-in the details add drama.

Voilà, viola!
I was selected to join the 5th graders in “Beginning Strings”. I want to play the viola, sooo… my dad and I went to a viola store and rented a viola! You should see all those house rats run off when they heard me play (NOT)!
