NEW ONLINE STORE FOR APPAREL - COMING NEXT YEAR!

We will have a new online store to order your Ralston gear!

PTA is very excited to share that we have partnered with Goetz Bros in San Carlos to offer apparel to our Ralston families at the beginning of the school year!

We will offer cotton tees, performance tees, cotton hoodies, performance hoodies, and a performance long sleeve for both Ralston generic and sports apparel. 

We will continue to offer our special "class of" t-shirt and hoodie for our 8th graders, as well!

The store will be open year round! You will have the option to do in store pick up or have it shipped directly to you for a minimal fee.

If you would like to see sizes before ordering, you can pop over to Goetz and check them out. All orders are custom. No exchanges or refunds are possible.  

Ralston apparel prices reflect direct costs from Goetz. This is not a fundraiser. PTA strives to keep costs low for our families!

Please do look out for the link information in our newsletter at the start of the school year. You will be able to find the apparel store link year round and other helpful information on the PTA section of the Ralston website. 

Thanks for your support!
