Dolphin Leaders' Canned Food Drive
Now through December 14th It's a great time of year to share our bounty with others via the Dolphin Leaders' annual canned food drive. Help feed San Diego families this season by setting aside canned meats, fruits, vegetables, soups, peanut butter, cereals, oatmeal, rice, pasta, and baby formula. Starting November 26th, Dolphin Leaders will be out collecting the food to donate to the San Diego Food Bank and the North County Food Bank. Questions about Dolphin Leadership or the Food Drive? Contact Gail Moran. 
Full, Full, Full!
The rain barrel - and our tummies - are full, full, full! Thank you to everyone who shared a beautiful afternoon with us in Garden Club on Friday! The students were very productive planting kale plants and several six-packs of various seeds (for planting out after break), raking, weeding, removing pomegranate arils, picking up trash and continuing to prepare the apple trees for winter pruning. Remember all those strawberry guavas the students have been harvesting and squirreling away? This "sleeper" fruit was magically transformed into beautiful strawberry guava jelly and strawberry guava juice. Several students helped prepare our tasting table treats of jelly crackers and juice cups. Also on the tasting table was pomegranate arils and pineapple guavas. Have we mentioned how amazing our garden is? Please be sure to join us next Friday, December 14th as this will be our last Garden Club meeting until January 11th. We'll be sharing more preserved treats which were grown in our very own garden this fall. This is one of the school's most popular lunch clubs, and we really need the extra help. Please email Garden Coordinator Stephanie Murphy to learn more!

WinterFest is Coming!
Rehearsal: Wednesday, December 19th, 10:15am Performance: Thursday, December 20th, 1:00pm Rain or shine, our annual musical tradition will go on! Students have been hard at work practicing their holiday songs for this event. Please plan to stay for the entirety of the program, as teachers will not be able to release students early. This is one of only two school-wide celebrations during the year, so it is a special event for our school community. Come early to get parking and a good seat. We will have a full house, and you don't want to miss the opening performance by our 4th-6th grade Glee Club! NOTE: If you can't make the performance, you are welcome to attend the rehearsal the day before, December 19th, at 10:15am. 
Yearbook Photographers Needed
We are seeking photographers for this year's yearbook! Please email Tara Andersen to let her know which events you would like to attend and take photos. PARENTS: Our school administration has requested that parents and caretakers refrain from posting images of Del Mar Heights children, other than your own, on social media sites. Sharing photos online is a common practice, but many parents prefer to not have photos of their children appear in social media without their explicit permission, and have opted out of their images being posted online. Thank you for your understanding.
