The PTA wants Del Mar Hills teachers to have the resources they need to help every SurfRider achieve their full academic potential. So, the PTA provides every full-time teacher with a $500 grant to spend on supplies for their classroom. Part-time teachers receive $250. Submissions for reimbursement are accepted through May 15th.

Surf Families are every SurfRiders favorite part about being a student at Del Mar Hills! Surf Families are facilitated by a Del Mar Hills teacher and are made up of one (or more) students from each grade K-6. Surf Families gather quarterly to do activities and deepen their connections with SurfRiders across all grades. The PTA provides funds for these activities including books, bracelet making kits, and more!

Throughout the year, SurfRiders enjoy special assemblies that are educational, exciting, and energizing! Past programs have included a mobile planetarium, Imagination Station performing student-written stories, building and launching rockets on Fiesta Island, engaging with a Mariachi band, and building robots. Assemblies are a fun way to extend learning beyond the classroom.
✍️ The Imagination Machine – Student Story Program
The Del Mar Hills PTA is working to sponsor The Imagination Machine Writing Assembly again, so stay tuned!
This beloved program celebrates our students’ creativity by bringing their original stories to life — complete with professional actors, live music, and colorful costumes. Nothing inspires young writers quite like seeing their own words performed on stage! Thank you to all our awesome teachers for supporting this assembly program!
How It Works
