Get ready for October— aka Family History Month! In anticipation of Family History Month, each Wednesday in September, the blog will feature something going on in October. Please take the time now to mark your calendars!
Remember we talked about field trips last week? Now you have a date for yours!
Traditionally in California public schools, the history of California and the missions are taught in fourth grade. That happens to be the year I moved to a teeny tiny town in Northern California and was in a class of 12 with grades 2 through 12. So I missed California history and now thrive of learning more of it every year. I’ve cleared my calendar for the weekend for a field trip. How about you? Should I bring an extra sack lunch?
On Saturday, October 24, 2025 and Sunday, October 25, 2025, CGS will host California History Days. Join the CGS Open House with docents and historic displays by Los Californianos, an organization founded to preserve the heritage of early Hispanic settlers in Alta California. Doors will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. No registration required.
