    Dear Del Mar Community,

    As our students are continuing to finish out the trimester strong as we race to summer, I wanted to highlight a couple accomplishments are students have been making on campus and in our larger community:

    • Mary Poppins - Thanks to the support and leadership of our parent volunteers, our musical production this year was a huge success for our students and community. Student and parents who participated spoke highly of their experience and we even had a couple sold out performances!
    • Del Mar Students had their best showing in history at the year's countywide Margie Burke Speech Tournament. Fourteen Del Mar Dragons poured their hearts out in monologues, impromptu, original prose & poetry, and persuasive speeches. Del Mar also had the high honor of one Dragon who became the tournament's second Grand Champion!
    • Track & Field - Del Mar student athletes took home first place in 8 of the 14 relays run. Individual first place medals were earned by 10 students of all grades, and many local and county records were set at the area and county-wide meet. It was our most successful showing ever!
    • Two 8th grade students eloquently presented to the Marin County Board of Supervisors regarding the work of TEA club as it relates to the Countywide work around equity.
    • 8th Grade Student Showcase - Our 8th graders shared with their younger peers how they've grown through their years at Del Mar. Anchoring their presentations in the work/projects they completed in all academic areas; students confidently demonstrated what it means to be a RUSD student.
    • Student Leadership program - Students have partnered with Tiburon City Council members to begin discussions and planning for a community center.
    • Two 7th grade students have won awards from the River of Words Anthology and the California Coastal Commission for their poetry written in their Humanities classes.

    These are just a sampling of what our students accomplish with the support and guidance of our teachers and parents; and another reminder for me of how fortunate I am to work with such a wonderful school community.

     Sincerely,

    Brian Lynch
