The Del Mar Union School District teachers have opted to nominate all teachers for 2020-21 Teacher of the Year honors an unconventional idea fitting for a most unusual school year.
As Del Mar teacher Kate Daniel wrote in her nomination letter, on March 13, 2020, the very definition of teaching changed.

You can pretty much say, ‘We’re killing it’.”
