Our Dolphin Classroom has a new class pet! ๐ŸฆŽ

Students helped build the gecko's terrarium and are already learning what it takes to care for their new classroom companion. Hands-on experiences like these encourage curiosity, responsibility, communication, and teamwork while making learning meaningful and fun.

This week's ESY theme was transportation, and our students explored it in a variety of ways! ๐Ÿš†โœˆ๏ธ๐ŸšŒ

Our Kโ€“8 students visited the Museum of Flight to learn more about aviation, our high school students practiced navigating Seattle's public transit system by riding five different forms of transportation, and our Harbor Seal class got creative by building their own buses during a hands-on classroom activity.

From classrooms to museums to Seattle's transit system, it was a week full of exploring how transportation connects our community.

This month we are shining the spotlight on Michael, our Development Manager!

Michael joined APL last summer and has had an amazing impact on our community. His favorite thing about APL is the sense of belonging the staff have for each other and the learners. It's a vibe!

Outside of APL, Michael enjoys acting and writing. He has been on TV and is currently writing a TV show! The one thing he can't live without is his family- including his cat.

We're so grateful to have Michael on the APL team and can't wait to see all he continues to accomplish!
