Welcome to Riverside Elementary PTO!
Together, parents, teachers and the PTO create school spirit and provide support for our staff and students throughout the year! The purpose of the Riverside Elementary PTO is to provide support and communicate with, parents, teachers, students, and administrators to help make Riverside a great place to learn and have fun! And even though this year looks different, we can still make it a great year! Thank you for supporting PTO and being involved!

However, we do know that the PTO will continue to be a resource for our amazing staff and students throughout the year, in whatever way we can!
Last year, PTO membership donations and events helped purchase new laptops, technology tubs, and mulch/borders for the playgrounds.
New this year! Your membership funds will also help purchase several picnic tables for outdoor classroom and lunchtime spaces! Donate towards this project here: https://tinyurl.com/riversidepto2020

Spirit Nights…throughout the year we will host Spirit Nights at local businesses. Watch for flyers coming home with your child, texts/emails from Mr. Wright and announcements on our Facebook page. This is a great way to meet up with school friends and support local businesses, who then donate a % of their sales back to Riverside! It’s always a win-win!
Get Involved!
During a typical school year, there are many fun and easy ways to get involved at RES! Most volunteer opportunities require very little time, but still make a BIG impact for our teachers and students! We would love to help you get connected when the time comes, and we can safely welcome volunteers back in the building. In the meantime, here is a sneak peak of the typical volunteer opportunities we have at RES:
* Media Center/Learning Commons
* Parent Work Room
* Landscaping/Beautification
* Outdoor Family Movie Night
* All-School Dances
* Winter Wonderland Family Event
* Penguin Patch Holiday Shop
* Ladybug Ball
* Mother/Son Bingo Night

We will post any new opportunities on our PTO Facebook page, so be sure to ‘like’ our page!
