00:01.145 --> 00:02.247
^- [Lt. Cmdr. McCauley] I think we learned something

00:02.247 --> 00:03.489
^from the teachers,

00:03.489 --> 00:07.502
^and I think the teachers learned something from us.

00:07.502 --> 00:08.735
^- Today we're here,

00:08.735 --> 00:11.758
^we were invited as all 24 teachers of the year

00:11.758 --> 00:15.885
^to come onto the Navy ship and to have a breakfast together

00:15.885 --> 00:18.564
^to celebrate education, to make the connections,

00:18.564 --> 00:20.444
and also just to learn more about

00:20.444 --> 00:23.349
what's going on in our Navy and our military.

00:23.349 --> 00:25.106
- It was actually a fantastic experience,

00:25.106 --> 00:26.820
because these are the teachers

00:26.820 --> 00:29.439
^that are teaching our youth today, you know?

00:29.439 --> 00:31.022
^They are educating,

00:31.027 --> 00:33.659
^and basically putting their energy and focus

00:33.659 --> 00:34.863
into our future leaders.

00:34.863 --> 00:35.895
- Oh, this morning went great.

00:35.895 --> 00:38.812
^I thought it was a good opportunity

00:39.013 --> 00:42.592
^to meet the Maryland and Baltimore Teacher's of the Year,

00:42.592 --> 00:45.854
and it was a great opportunity for our S2 Division

00:45.854 --> 00:49.975
to have an opportunity to showcase their culinary skills.

00:49.975 --> 00:52.233
- [Lt. Tran] I have an amazing food service officer,

00:52.233 --> 00:55.142
an amazing senior chief, and a phenomenal S2 Division

00:55.142 --> 00:57.392
that just made this happen.

00:57.560 --> 00:59.283
- That experience was amazing.

00:59.283 --> 01:02.676
We were joking that it was a field trip for adults.

01:02.676 --> 01:06.601
Our students, especially in kindergarten, love sailors,

01:06.601 --> 01:10.266
they love the military, and they're our heroes.

01:10.266 --> 01:12.804
- There were a lot of happy and satisfied faces

01:12.804 --> 01:14.458
that walked off the ship this morning.

01:14.458 --> 01:16.523
- I just wanna say thank you to the ship,

01:16.523 --> 01:18.340
thank you for supporting education,

01:18.340 --> 01:21.920
thank you for not only listening to us but to hosting us.

01:21.920 --> 01:23.790
It was an amazing experience

01:23.790 --> 01:25.925
that we'll take back to our classrooms,

01:25.925 --> 01:28.463
and I think we might be even inspiring

01:28.463 --> 01:29.973
some more sailors in the future.
