The Poway High PTSA is excited to participate in PUSD’s Giving Tree program again this season!

Please help us spread the holiday cheer by purchasing an item on the registries below to help support four Poway families in need who attend schools in PUSD. There are gift options for the kids as well as options to purchase some household items that the families have requested. We are also looking to receive gift cards for the families to help them make purchases for other essentials (ex: Target, Amazon, Walmart, Grocery Stores, Gas). Gift cards can be dropped off at the Poway High School front office.

This year I have created registries at Target and Amazon to hopefully make it easier on everyone.

TARGET Instructions:

Click on the link below. Choose the Order Pick Up in Poway option. Then choose Alternate Pick Up Person and type in Isa Evonsion. I will pick up all the gifts and deliver them to Poway Unified.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need assistance

navigating the Target or Amazon Registries or if you need an alternate way of getting the gifts to me.

Thank you so much for helping us make the holiday bright for these Poway families!
