Thank You for a Spectacular Spring Gala!
INCREDIBLE! Our La Dolce Vita Spring Gala was a smashing success, bringing in more than $173,000! We couldn't have done it without an amazing group of parent volunteers who gave so freely of their valuable time. We'd like to thank Tricia Dixon, Kimberly Daniels, Amy Chelesnik, Alex Jensen, Lisa Dorsey, Ana & Jason West, and the rest of the team for all your hard work. Along with our parent helpers, we'd like to thank all the other parents who contributed by procuring auction items, donating items & services, advertising, underwriting, sponsoring, or by bidding in the auctions. Because of your generosity, the Del Mar Heights PTA will continue to run programs and events that aim to ignite the potential in all our students and provide them with a well-rounded educational experience. Thank you everyone!

This Week in the Garden: Spring Clearing!
Next Garden Club is Friday, April 20th from 11:45 am - 12:30 pm This week, our enthusiastic and super energetic garden volunteers from Snooze Eatery came out to help us beautify our garden. We sanded and weather sealed the work tables, reworked two of the compost bins and spread the finished compost in our raised beds, hung a decorative bird house, raked, weeded and took garden debris to the dumpster. The garden looks so fresh and clean. Thank you to Snooze and all of our many Garden Partners! Join us next Friday, April 20th, when "guests" Mac and Pedro will be collaborating with Garden Club students for a special Earth Day edition with our Boomerang Picnic Lunchers! Students will help direct the composing of school, and lunches from home, into the compost bins in the garden. Questions about Garden Club? please contact Stephanie Murphy.
