A Pacifica woman is being recognized for leading an annual ocean education program at a coastal school for over 30 years.
Sheila Gamble-Dorn recently walked down the hallway at Ocean Shore School, admiring a cardboard plesiosaurus skeleton hanging from the ceiling.'The imagination that they come up with is always astounding. I love it!' she said.The halls feel like magic during an intensive two-week program called Oceans 411 that brings the oceans to life for the entire K-8 campus.Gamble-Dorn has helped organize and fundraise for Oceans 411 for over three decades as an artist and third-grade teacher.
This spring, third grader Zoe Wu discovered how she could protect turtles.'We should not leave trash on the beach,' Wu said.Classmate Louie Taylor tells why, 'The turtles can get their necks or plastic could kill them or destroy their environment.'Aprile Uhland has worked with Gamble-Dorn on the program's artwork while her children were at Ocean Shore.
