All third-graders in the Los Altos School District learn about local history as part of the state education requirement for that grade. This month, they are touring the History House, the Community House and upstairs in the History Museum. Each year, private schools are invited as well. This spring, children from Los Altos Christian School and St. Simon’s Catholic School will take the tour. Top left, Emma Souders, 8, front, and a class of Covington School third-graders are mesmerized by the historical train diorama in the Los Altos History Museum. The replica of the train that served Los Altos in 1932 has 121 moving parts. The children also learned some of the history of the Ohlone Indians at the History Museum.
