On Wednesday September 18th, Del Mar students took a field trip to Moorpark College to visit their animal training zoo. Students received a "back stage" tour of the facilities and were able to interact with the college students who are in the program. The Moorpark program is the only one of its kind in the United States and students come from around the world to participate in and receive training certification from this program. We love for our students to see the facilities and hear about the program and possibly spark an interest in a career field they may not have known existed. Thank you to Mrs. Masri and our Del Mar staff for setting this trip up and making it a huge success.

Congratulations to Student of the Week Bailey Lang.
Bailey was awarded SOW for the week of September 30 - October 4. Bailey’s teachers praised her for her determination, work ethic and drive to make things productive. As many of our students do, Bailey deals with many things outside of the schools gates. She is able to come to school and make school her priority while she is here. She is hard working, kind and is an example to her classmates. Bailey is a great example of what our Del Mar family is all about.
Congrats Bailey, we are very proud of you!!

Congratulations to our Student of the Week for May 13-17; Jasmine Rosales. Jasmine was selected by her teachers for her newly found work ethic and commitment to completing school work. She is determined to succeed at Del Mar so she can return to Gabrielino next year for her senior year. One of our main goals at Del Mar is help students repair their work habits and self confidence so that they can transition back to Gabrielino at some point. While we love it when our Dolphin family stays with us through graduation, we are just as excited for our students who return to Gabrielino and are successful. We are so proud to see the growth she has shown in the last few weeks.
Congrats Jasmine, we are very proud of you!
