PACIFIC BEACH MIDDLE SCHOOL CELEBRATES ENERGY SAVINGS, LOOKS FOR BIG PRIZE

WHAT: Staff from SDG&E will be at Pacific Beach Middle School to rally
student leadership for a final push to win $10,000 in the San Diego Energy
Challenge.

WHEN/WHERE: 1:15 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2012, Pacific Beach Middle School,
4676 Ingraham St. (92109). Media parking is available in lot accessed from
Felspar Street, near intersection with Ingraham Street.

DETAILS: As the SDG&E San Diego Energy Challenge comes to a close on Nov.
30, it's coming down to a very few schools. Staff from SDG&E will be at
Pacific Beach Middle School to meet with parents, students and campus
leaders to rally them up and encourage them to continue to save energy.
The Energy Challenge invited San Diegans to save energy and at the same
time support middle schools in the San Diego Unified School District. The
school with the most energy saved by those who have registered gets a
$10,000 grant.

PHOTOS/INTERVIEWS: No formal news conference is planned. SDG&E staff is
scheduled to bring a Nissan Leaf electric car and one of the company's
experts to give students a hands-on look at cutting edge technology. The
school's student body president and principal will be presenting SDG&E
officials with a "wish list" of materials they could purchase with the
$10,000 prize. All students will be available to photograph and interview,
along with the principal, the school's "team captain" who has been
rounding up residents to save energy and support PB Middle, as well as
staff from SDG&E.

BACKGROUND: Only three weeks remain until the challenge wraps up on Nov.
30, and San Diego Energy Challenge participants still have the chance to
earn individual prizes, such as gift cards and tablets, and help their
local SDUSD middle school compete for a chance to win a cash grant. The
top school will win a cash grant of $10,000 and several additional schools
will split different increments of an additional $20,000.
