This year, our Casablanca themed gala will be held March 24th at the Del Mar Surf Club. Please mark

don't want to miss! Gratitude for our art docents! Atomic Groove will provide tunes to dance the night away.

grade students that sell 20 or more tickets will be entered into a special raffle for our class! :)


Have a great week!
