Last week Montara’s Farallone View Elementary held their annual Oceans Week, a 5-day long series science-oriented activities and presentations. Each day offers a new set of events and interactive exhibits--this year’s theme was “Waves”.

The program began thirteen years ago and has grown in scope and ambition since. The activities draw heavily upon the parents, many of whom are in ocean-related occupations.

On Friday, the last day of this year’s program, I stopped by to visit and to see what Oceans Week was all about.
