Congratulations to our published author, Sonali Ranaweera!

When Sonali was in 6th grade at Rolling Hills Middle School, she wrote a story named "Abigail and the Fish Tree" for her writer's workshop. Sonali's book has now been published by IEEE-USA as an eBook!

Sonali has become the youngest author to have a manuscript accepted by this professional organization. She plans to donate all proceeds from the sale of this book to make a difference in the lives of others.

We are very proud of you Sonali and wish you many more successes in the future!

Curious what this story is all about?

Congratulations World Scholar's Cup Teams!

We are very proud of our students who competed in the first Bay Area competition of the World Scholar's Cup!

The World Scholar's Cup is an international academic competition. Teams of three compete in four different events: the Team Debate, the Scholar's Bowl, Collaborative Writing, and the Scholar's Challenge.

After competing in these events on April 23rd and 24th, our Del Mar Dons were honored with medals of achievement, and three teams qualified to advance to the Global Round of Competition this summer. The teams can choose to compete in Hanoi, Athens or Cape Town.

It was a rewarding experience for the students and a great event for our school.

Cheers to our Dons as they prepare for their international competition!
