Our students had so much fun learning about the diversity of species in the ocean and the importance of conservation. For many of our students, this was their first time leaving San Jose, let alone seeing the ocean. These types of experiences are important for the growth of our students and community. These experience show our students that there is a much larger world out there, and that they have many options for their lives.
