Caroline is in the faculty of the Spring Street International School in Friday Harbor on the San Juan Islands, Washington State. She writes, “I feel privileged to be part of such a lively and adventurous team. Last year, Spring Street’s head of school asked me to create a summer program. My first e-mail messages and phone calls were to locally-based scientists to find out what it would take for them to help me build a world-class experiential marine science program. I am delighted to share that scientists and educators from the University of Washington Friday Harbor Laboratories, the National Parks Service, the Northwest Maritime Center, and other local scientific and stewardship organizations are truly excited to be part of the launch this summer.

“If any Trinity families or teachers are interested, please visit the program’s home page at http://summer.springstreet.org. Personally, nothing would be more fun than to see Trinity students bring their special brand of intelligence and creativity here!”

Caroline, who worked at Trinity from 2000-2003, is program director at the Spring Street International School Summer Program, which brings local and international students to the San Juan Islands of Washington state to "engage in marine research with working scientists," "learn scientific best practices and marine stewardship," "express [their] creativity in collaboration with professional artists and composers," and connects cultures "with new friends from across the globe."
