Thanks to a generous grant from the McCarthey-Dressman Education Foundation, and the hard coordinating work of Elementary Math Coach Lisa Cartwright, our teachers have been working hard on integrating mathematics into their maritime and place-based learning across the district.
You can learn more about this program in this article, "

Additional funding support for this project came from Washington Sea Grant.
