Stockton Unified School District Curriculum Specialist Linda Whittock invited CCSS to participate in the district's teacher-training workshop, Culture Day, on a spring day last March. Drawing a crowd, Dr. Jun Wang and Yu Ren Ma, plus Lucia Miao and John Miao, demonstrated the always popular calligraphy to teachers who assembled. Chinese cultural goods from the Ho Yeh Market were popular items from the booth staffed by Gladys Ikeda and Esther Fong.

Also part of the day's events was Debbie Leung Yamada, author of a book on the Chinese miners of the California gold which was presented to the teachers. Last year, Debbie was a guest of CCSS and the Haggin Museum in celebrating Asian American History Month, 2003 Through CCSS connections, Debbie also made presentations during that month to Elkhorn School in Lodi Unified, Hoover and Webster Schools in Stockton, and schools in Calaveras County.
