Appleyard, Tracy

Appleyard, Tracy

Librarian

tmappleyard@seattleschools.org

This is my 11th year as a Teacher Librarian at Orca K-8!

I strive to provide all of your technology, information and reading needs!

My hope is that when you walk into the library, you feel represented on the shelves and that you feel safe and welcome in the space.

When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and animals. I'm happiest with a good book, eating delicious food and spending time in nature.

This is my fifteenth-year teaching in Seattle Public Schools! My fourth year teaching Physical Education to all grade levels at Orca K-8.   In addition to teaching, I love to read, spend time with my family, and be active outdoors.  I have a strong focus on equity and healthy communities.

Remember to be active at least 60 minutes a day & wear your helmet!
