PROGRAM:
By Scott Hoff, Bluffton High School
"Ocean Focus is Bluffton's way of connecting our students to the body of water that connects us all. In the Ocean Focus class, students learn about the intricacies of the world's oceans - more than just the plants/animals.
They study everything from the chemistry and physics, to the arts and culture associated with the oceans. Ultimately, our students take their knowledge to the Florida Keys (June 2019) to 'dive in' to their own experience."
For: breakfast sponsors and topic suggestions
