Lewis Events just wrapped up another successful school year (2023-24) of educational and entertaining school assemblies and on-campus field trips. Each season, we add more shows than the previous year as additional schools choose to bring the program to their students. This year because of the demand, we had multiple teams providing historical assemblies and hands-on activities to grades 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Each program corresponds to the California State History Standards. The third grade experiences State and US history. The fourth grade experiences the Gold Rush, the Old-West, and California history. The fifth grade experiences US History. The sixth grade experiences Ancient Civilizations. Some schools use the program as an introduction to the study section. Other schools choose to bring the program during the course-of-study.

On the day of the program, students first gather for the assembly where an entertaining and interactive presentation brings history to life on the stage.

Following the assembly students roll up their sleeves and participate in a variety of exciting activities that relate to their grade’s history curriculum. Small groups of students rotate among the activities until each group has been to all of the experiences. Gold panning, candle making, weaving, frontier field games, survival skills, along with a variety of many other choices.

Lewis Events is already receiving requests for the 2024-25 school year so be sure to book early.
