The PTSO will be highlighting the PE Department during the month of March. We have created a SignUpGenius if you would like to support the department by donating an item from their wishlist. For your convenience, we have also created an Amazon wishlist.

Items may be shipped directly to the school, or you may purchase them elsewhere and drop them off at the front office. Please let them know the donation is for the PE Department.

If you choose to purchase a hockey net or megaphone, please ensure it is similar to the one listed. The styles and brands included on the Amazon wishlist are preferred, as they have proven to perform best.

The school address is:
1290 Ivey Ranch Road
Oceanside, CA 92057

Please submit all donations by March 31.

Thank you so much for your support!
