On Tuesday October 2nd we took an all school field trip to the Cabrillo Marine Museum in San Pedro. The trip was made possible by a generous grant from the San Gabriel Education Foundation who paid for the bus and all fees. Students toured the aquarium, visited their science classroom, hands on tidal pool and participated in a beach activity. The event is followed up with a reflective writing assignment in each of the classes here at Del Mar. This is a part of our cultural and environmental awareness program that exposes our students to new experiences and habitats that will broaden their academic horizon. We thank SEF for their funding to make this program possible each year.
There are many pictures of the trip in the "Photo Albums" tab. Find Cabrillo Beach Trip folder to see the pictures.

We are inviting all Del Mar parents and families to get involved in our school through the School Site Council (SSC). SSC is a group of family members, staff and community members who meet once a month to determine how the school will function and spend available monies. Parental involvement is a critical component of the SSC make-up. In your summer mailing packet you received nomination forms to nominate yourself or someone else for School Site Council membership. We meet on the fourth Wednesday of each month at Del Mar at 2:30. We are usually done by 3:30. If you would be interested in becoming a SSC member, please call Mr. Sellers at school.
Hope to see you there!

Congratulations to Del Mar student student Sergio Landeros who competed this past weekend in Sacramento in History Day. Sergio was one of three finalist from Los Angeles County who qualified for the State competition. Students from all over California came to represent their counties. Sergio did well enough to advance to the Sunday finals as one of the nine California Finalist! Sergio is the first Del Mar student to make the Sunday final. We are all so proud of Sergio, Mrs. Kloster and the entire History Day Team.

On Friday April 27th, the Del Mar staff attended the State Conference for continuation schools and received its third consecutive "California Model Continuation High School" award. Del Mar was one of 32 of the over 500 continuation high schools in California to be named Model School this year. The honor is for a 3 year period and this will mark 9 consecutive years Del Mar has been a Model School. We thank everyone who works with our students and school community. It would not be possible without all of the support we receive from the Governing Board and District Office, families and community of San Gabriel. Thank you all.
