Happy Memorial Day! 🌊☀️🏄‍♂️

Surfing is part of the San Diego lifestyle — sunshine, salty air, sandy toes, and big smiles. Last week, students from TERI Learning Academy and Country School hit the waves at Oceanside Pier for an unforgettable surf day with our longtime friends at Surfin Fire Surf School Oceanside.

This incredible partnership has been going strong for more than 15 years!

Today, Kyla Peterson and the amazing team of instructors and volunteers continue to bring so much encouragement, energy, and joy to every student who catches a wave.

We’re so grateful for this partnership and the unforgettable memories created year after year. 💙

Check out some of the special moments from this incredible day!

Three unforgettable performances. Countless moments of joy and connection. 🎭✨

TERI Players’ original production of Alice in Wonderland transformed The Bornemann Theatre into a world of wonder, where the music, dancing, and unforgettable characters moved audiences to laughter and tears. Every performer reminded us of the power of theater to build confidence, inspire connection, and celebrate each person’s unique gifts.

TERI Players is part of our Center for the Arts program, where adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities discover their voice and share their talents with the community through live performance.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, and supported this special production — and to our incredible program staff who encouraged our resident company to create something truly spectacular.

A heartfelt thank you as well to our sponsors — The McBeth Foundation, Hughes Marino and J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines — for helping make this experience possible. 💙

Enjoy a few photos from the show, and if you attended, share your favorite moment in the comments!

We are still humming from our night with Jason Mraz and friends, a concert about community and inclusion with proceeds supporting the future expansion of TERI's Campus of Life. Not only did our TERI Band get to perform with a Grammy award-winning artist, but Jason Mraz — alongside Adin Boyer, Sara Jade, Matthew Phillips — kept guests toe tapping from the reception to the encore!

Thank you to our sponsors for bringing us together and to all the artists and supporters who made this night memorable, including: Jason Mraz, Scott P.L. Gardner, Alaska Airlines, David Bialis, McGriff, Shamrock Foods, and Los Cuernos.
