Album: The last week of school

On the last week of school, we captured some photos of the promotion ceremony at Farallone View and just-dismissed students from Cunha celebrating the end of school in downtown Half Moon Bay.

The schools are a core institution on the Coastside. Farallone View is the center of Montara, and Cunha and Half Moon Bay High School are part of the reason that downtown Half Moon Bay is a great place to be.

Farallone View’s ceremony was short and significant.  The passage from elementary school to middle school is a huge step.  One, less significant, part of that passage was a last opportunity to grab clothes from the lost and found bin, which were spread out in the center of the school for kids and parents to check out.

The main event was a trip through a balloon arch to receive a handshake and a certificate from principal Mike Bachicha and your teacher. This was followed by a lunch catered by Spanish Town Mexican restaurant. Everyone loved the wall of yearbook photos that showed the graduating class as they grew from kindergarten through fifth grade.

We caught Cunha students enjoying their first afternoon of freedom in La Di Da, checking out the yearbook their friends, and walking off to Main Street for the last time until Fall.

Have a great summer.
