ANDRE WARD VS SULLIVAN BARRERA PRESS CONFERENCE (2016)

GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS NBA CHAMPIONSHIP VICTORY PARADE (2015)

Because the Warriors' Victory Parade route was less than a block from our school, our students were treated to once in a lifetime experience.  Despite the crowded chaos, this championship celebration was a for the City of Oakland and the Bay Area Warrior fans alike.

JACK LONDON CABIN (2015)

Arguably Oakland's most notable Oaklander, many Oaklanders are unaware of the historical gems that are located in Jack London Square which pay homage to London's most prized book, The Call of the Wild.  After reading The Call of the Wild, my class took a walking trip to Jack London Square, where they discovered a statue of London, many of his famous quotes, paw prints which lead to Buck (the main character from The Call of the Wild), and the cabin where London wrote The Call of The Wild during his time in Canada during the Klondike Gold Rush.  

Although the cabin contains many items believed to be used by London during his writing of The Call of the Wild, half of the wood of the current cabin is from the original.   Per an agreement with the Canadian government, the other half of the cabin resides as a historical site in Yukon Territory, Canada.  A great article by Russ Kingman explains how the Jack London cabin was moved to Oakland.
