SAN DIEGO (KUSI) – The San Diego Unified School District and The San Diego Foundation announced Wednesday that more than 65 nonprofits will help deliver the newly created Level Up SD program to tens of thousands of San Diego Unified students who will have free access to in-person morning classroom instruction and afternoon summer activities.
Earlier this month, registration began for morning coursework. On Wednesday, registration began for opportunities beyond the classroom at LevelUpSanDiego.org.
Summer school generally is offered to a select group of students who need additional academic support. Level Up SD is open to all K-12 students in San Diego Unified, meaning thousands of local students can now take advantage of summer school and free activities like learning to kayak or learning to fly a drone for the first time.

One of the San Diego Zoo’s newest and youngest animals is already finding her footing even on rocky ground.
The zoo welcomed the birth of a golden takin, a hoofed mammal native to the Himalayas, last month. The calf, Mei Ling, is off to a fast start, packing on pounds, playing with her parents and learning to scamper across the craggy terrain of her enclosure.
She’s the first golden takin born in the Western Hemisphere. And that’s something zookeepers are excited about.
“This is a species most people have never heard of, let alone seen,” said wildlife caretaker Tammy Batson. “I have this theory: People don’t care about what they don’t know about. You can’t. If I can give you a reason to care, then you can make good decisions.”

Australia is famed for its weird and wonderful animals. From the alien blue-ringed octopus, which carries enough venom to kill 26 adult humans within minutes, to the duck-billed platypus with it s patchwork anatomy, Australia is packed with species that, to the rest of the world, don t make a lot of sense.
This is because these strange species often aren t found anywhere else on Earth. About 87% of Australia s mammals, 93% of its reptiles and 45% of its bird species can be found only in Australia, according to the Australian Wildlife Conservancy.
