Artondale Elementary and YMTA form partnership
March 13, 2003 Norm Manly Dear Mr. Manly, On behalf of Artondale Elementary in the Peninsula School District, we would like to express our enthusiasm for a partnership with the Youth Maritime Training Association. Artondale has enjoyed past partnerships with Foss Maritime, J.M. Martinac Shipbuilding and Totem Ocean Trailer Express. We have also enjoyed trips and speakers from the U.S. Coast Guard, NOAA, Port of Tacoma and local Gig Harbor fishing organizations. Our goal is to “Open a window to the maritime world for our students, through cross age teaching with the marine science instructor at Gig Harbor High School, to expand oceanographic knowledge.”We look forward, through our partnering with YMTA, to enhancing education opportunities with speakers, field trips, and links with marine technology using computer applications. Sincerely, Jim Coolican, Superintendent Artondale Elementary School
