Welcome to the website of the Ocean View PTA!

 

PTA Donations

Our PTA raises funds to purchase necessary technology, programs, and materials that are not covered by the school's budget. This includes teacher grants, field trips, supplementary educational programs (like Young Authors Book Festival or IXL), classroom libraries, and more. We appreciate donations of any amount. All donations are tax deductible (tax ID is 94-6174605).

 

Golden Sneaker Contest

Lace up those shoes and dust off those wheels, the Golden Sneaker Contest is happening March 3rd to March 14th.  Students will track their activity each day with their teacher, reporting if they did or did not participate in active or shared transportation, such as:

  •       Walking
  •       Rolling in a wheelchair or mobility device
  •       Biking, skateboarding, using a scooter, or any other human-powered wheels
  •       Using public transit such as AC Transit or BART
  •       Carpooling with another household

The classroom with the highest percentage of participation in these activities will win special prizes! The Golden Sneaker Contest is an opportunity for students to be physically active, build camaraderie, and reduce traffic congestion and pollution in our community.

2024 Fall Festival

Our Fall Festival and Walkathon was on Saturday, October 19th. We want to thank the 200+ Ocean View students who participated in the Walkathon, as well as our OV community for their generous donations. In addition, we want to thank our more than 60 festival volunteers, including over 30 OV Alumni students. We couldn’t have done it without you. We want to thank May Beckhusen and her fabulous Bake Sale crew for that impressive spread! Thank you to all of the OV teachers and staff who worked at the festival. And thank you, families, for the fantastic turn out.

 

The OV PTA is excited to announce that this year’s Walkathon raised over $35,000 to support our school!  With this money, our PTA is able to give teachers money for their classrooms, help pay for field trips, bring assemblies to our school, provide enrichment oppurtunities, and put on special school events.
