Thank you to our U.S. Coast Guard partners for providing an outstanding career exploration program for our 5th and 6th grade students. Our students had the opportunity to discover the many career opportunities available in the U.S. Coast Guard, get an up-close look at a small boat, and explore a helicopter. They also enjoyed hearing firsthand from a rescue swimmer and other Coast Guard personnel about their important roles, experiences, and contributions. We are grateful to the U.S. Coast Guard for providing this engaging, hands-on learning experience, inspiring our students to explore future career possibilities, and continuing to build a strong partnership with our school.
