Thanks to the commitment of the Copperopolis Community Center, the history of Copperopolis comes to life each year for the second and fourth grade classes at Copperopolis Elementary.
Coordinating the event with the students classroom curriculum the CCC brings history alive by walking the children through the historic parts of town telling tales and lore of days gone by as well as facts and statistics of this great town.
After a few cancellations due to the weather, finally and with much anticipation, on October 29, 2012, 32 children from the fourth grade classrooms taught by Mrs. Bauer (substitute the day of the walk by Mrs. Mercado) had the joy of participating in this historic excursion including lessons on the cannon and the bell, Madam Felix, the mines, the cemetery and the museum. Finishing at the old red brick church for some songs and cookies.
Thank you Ileana Grycel for providing the great photos of this event.
