Graders had a fantastic time in Sacramento. They visited the

railway cars. Their visit to the Capitol Building began with
lunch on the lawn, a tour of the building, a visit to both legislative
chambers, and a visit to the outer office of the Governor's main
office. A big "Thank You" to the Navat Family, Aces of
Sandwiches, for lunches for our students and chaperones. A
special thanks to the chaperones, who accompanied the students, as well
as Mercury Bus Tours, who kept us safe and comfortable and returned us
home ahead of schedule. Sacramento was enjoyed by one and all!
