Approximately 10 adults and 60 children (6th – 8th graders) were in attendance, and the presentation was very well received by the students and the faculty.

The original contact for this project was garnered by Jane Pride who actually cold called the school, with the intent of establishing a new local relationship. She did so in uniform, and was equipped with the “Learn About the United States Coast Guard” coloring books, which she distributed to the resultant contact.

When she arrived, the Security Guard contacted Mr. Robert Busan, who is the Coordinator for the After School Program. Mr. Busan approved the arrangement and attended the presentation.

Mr. Busan expressed his appreciation for the division’s efforts and stated that he looks forward to our return, on a future date when even more students could attend.
