Fuel the Fire
Help us raise the money we need to make childhood unforgettable!
At Carmel Del Mar, we believe in giving every child a school experience that sparks wonder, joy, and connection. But here’s the truth: the district doesn’t fund most of the things that make our school magical.
From assemblies to classroom grants and STEAM+ teachers to school clubs, it's the CDM parents who fund these necessary extras. NOT THE DISTRICT.
Your family's financial generosity helps bridge the gap between what the state provides and what our children truly deserve.
We know you're busy. That’s why we only ask for donations twice a year — and we make it count.
How We Raise Money:
For less than $200/year, your child gets all the extras that make CDM the School with the Heart!
“As a first time parent at CDM, I had NO idea that my taxes didn't pay for everything. I'm so happy that for less than $200 we can close that gap. Thank you PTA!"
"I'm not crafty but I do have a strong professional network. I love participating in the PTA through finding sponsorships and helping hit those monetary needs."
“Money really makes the difference between a satisfactory school and a great one. I'm proud to help CDM get the money it needs to be the best.”
