| 44 eighth graders and 11 chaperones arrived in San Jose, CA at 9 am Wednesday morning, loaded their second bus of the day, and headed straight for Stanford. We went to the top of Hoover Tower, toured the beautiful campus, heard the majestic pipe organ in the Chapel and viewed Rodin sculptures. | |||

| After Stanford, we moved on to the Marine Institute on San Francisco Bay. Here we netted and identified fish, studied and TOUCHED sharks, gathered plankton and looked at it through a microscope, and filtered through the rich estuary mud to find all sorts of interesting invertebrates. Did we mention enjoying the warm sunshiny weather throughout our day? | ||

Some students had never flown in an airplane, so that was their favorite part of the day, others enjoyed miniature golf, a great way to unwind at the end of a very long but fun first day. |
