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.”
