2025

The International Showcase is on Friday February 7th 2025 from 5:00pm – 8:00pm!

The International Showcase will be on February 7th from  5:00pm- 8:00pm. This event is to celebrate CDM’s diverse culture. Bring a traditional or family favorite dish to share (16-20 servings), enjoy crafts, displays and entertainment and learn something new about the various cultural backgrounds of our students and their families! Everyone is encouraged to wear traditional attire to represent their heritage. This is a free PTA-sponsored and organized event.

Not only do we invite all CDM families to attend this event, but there are multiple ways for every family to participate!

  • Food: Please spread the word that we are encouraging all attendees to bring a traditional or family favorite dish to share (16-20 servings). No need to sign up to bring a dish, but please reach out to [email protected] if you have any questions.
  • Showcases: Let’s try to fill our MUR with all of our amazing cultures at CDM! Please reach out to friends and encourage them to represent their countries. We are looking for parents who are willing to put together a showcase. Responsibilities include setting up a table representing your country on Friday evening (4:00 pm) before the event and then manning your table during the entire event (5:00 pm – 8:00 pm). Details on setup/presentation will be sent out to those who sign up. The families will “tour the world” visiting each table and learning something about that country. If you would like to you can join a country group or if you would like to add another country to the event, please do so we would be thrilled! If you or anyone you know would like to represent a country, please reach out to Stefania Bruschi: [email protected]. We have a limited space and tables, so please sign-up by January 29th!
  • Performances: If you, your child, or a cultural group, would like to perform, please sign-up HERE. Due to the limited amount of time, we have just 12 performance spots, so please sign-up soon. Each act must be less than 3 minutes long. If you have any questions regarding the performances, please reach out to Susan Ying Ma: [email protected].
  • Traditional Attire: Everyone is encouraged to wear traditional attire to represent their heritage. We will have a chance for all participants to show their traditional clothing off on stage.

🎭Drama Club is coming!

Posted on by

The Carmel Del Mar Drama Club, along with Junior Actors Company, is very pleased to announce this year’s spring musical, “Alice and Wonderland, Jr”.


Fall down the rabbit hole with Alice as she navigates the curious world of Wonderland on a journey of self-discovery! When young Alice finds herself in a strange world where everything seems upside down, she must find her way home…and find herself along the way.


As she travels through Wonderland, she encounters all of the iconic characters that audiences have come to love: including the ever-tardy White Rabbit, the grinning Cheshire Cat, a cool Caterpillar, the wacky Mad Hatter, and the hot-tempered Queen of Hearts.

Alice in Wonderland Jr. features Disney favorites such as “The Golden Afternoon,” “The Unbirthday Song,” and “Painting the Roses Red” along with brand-new songs, including music from the 2010 live-action film.
