Welcome to our website! We're so happy you're here!
The RBT PTO exists to facilitate cooperation between parents, faculty, and our teachers, as well as to financially support programs that fall outside the annual school budget.
Our goal is to promote a positive and nurturing environment that will enhance the educational experiences of our children. We view these things as a happy cycle, with each instance of support reinforcing our goal.
Our Turner family benefits with every ounce of energy you pour into the PTO, whether that means volunteering, donating, fundraising, or just showing up to our meetings.
What do we do with our funds?
We put everything towards the school!
The majority of our money goes towards funding teacher requests. In the 2023-24 school year, we received 35 requests totaling nearly $13,000, and we fulfilled all of these. A few of the things our teachers and staff requested we pay for included:
Flocabulary
Generation Genius
Music Play Online
The Mile Club
Accelerated Reader (partially)
RTI and Wonder Books
Testing and Field Day snacks
In addition to making sure our teachers and students have what they need in the classroom, we host events and support the school when they host theirs! Some of these include:
Popsicles on the Playground
Dinner for teachers during Parent-Teacher Conferences
RBT Trick or Treat
Family Trivia Night
Titan Fest
Teacher Appreciation Week
