From Boat-building to Marine Biology: Preparing High School Students for Seattle's Maritime Industry
Tremain Hollaway
Principal, Maritime High School
Our new Maritime High School is showing students how to work with their hands and their minds to learn, problem-solve, and build a brighter future for the generations to come. As a project-based learning program, students are experiencing oceanography, marine sciences, boat building and operation, and much more through hands-on projects, and learning from those experiences. Tremain Holloway is the Principal and leader of the new High School. In partnership with the Northwest Maritime Center, Port of Seattle, the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition, and Highline Public Schools, Maritime High School, with Tremain Holloway at the helm, is leading the way to build positive changes through powerful experiences.
President Jimmy Collins called Seattle Rotary Club #4 to order at 12:30 pm on Wednesday, January 12, 2022. The meeting was broadcast via Zoom. President Jimmy said that one of the benefits of being a Rotarian, is the monthly Rotary magazine that we receive as members. He urged that we peruse the magazine for ideas and inspiration.
President Jimmy introduced Todd Sommerfelt and Trish Bostrom. Todd and Trish played the song of the day: This Land is Your Land. The Inspiration for the day was read by Skip Kotkins. Skip spoke about a trip to Atlanta he made with the Seattle Chamber of Commerce years ago. While in Atlanta, the congregation visited Ebenezer Baptist Church. Dr. Martin Luther King preached at this church. Skip met Dr. King’s daughter. She was only 5-years old when her father was murdered. Even though she was very young, she remembers him telling her that the issues he was fighting for were not about him but about the cause that he was fighting for. Dr. King said, never give your detractors something to go after you personally.
Four words epitomize our new member, Jennifer Hohnstein. They are explorer, adventurer, learner and advocate. Raised on Vashon Island, she graduated cum laude from Wellesley College in MA. She next spent 8 months traveling From Tel Aviv to Cape Town. Then she flew to Bangladesh spending 4 months in Asia including India, Nepal and Thailand.
More learning took her to Boulder, CO for law school and mountain adventures. From there it was off to Bethel Alaska for work defending children and families in distress with thousands of hours in courtrooms.
Marriage to her husband, Paul Sheppard, in 2011 often found them on opposite sides of the world as his work in and for the military included time in Iraq and Afghanistan. For Jennifer it was more adventure travel in Laos, Thailand, Viet Nam including a stint teaching English to youngsters at the request of a monk in Myanmar.
Sea4 s are our newest Rotarians (joined 2019-2021). Pre-Covid monthly happy hours took place to allow new Rotarians to meet each other and learn about Rotary and how to make the best use of their membership. We are reviving this tradition and had hoped for an in-person event for January. However, in light of the latest surge, we are taking January's happy hour online. We hope this won't deter you from participating.
It will be a great opportunity to meet some club leadership as well as other new Rotarians in an informal setting. This month we will learn about the Seattle Rotary Service Foundation (SRSF). What is it? How does it impact the work Rotary Committees do? How can you help?
All Seattle #4 Rotarians are welcome to join in! We look forward to seeing you soon.
