The Lake Ridge Elementary School PTO is a group of parents and teachers who are committed to providing our students with fun and enriching activities and amenities. We provide community building events, fundraising opportunities, philanthropy, and much more. Please consider joining the PTO this year. Any amount of time and effort is appreciated. We are a school of over 600 students; could you imagine how amazing it would be if we had that many people volunteer just two hours per semester?
More appreciation for our hardworking teachers and staff! The PTO provides incentives and clubs to those who generously provide club activities to our students. We also offer reimbursements for supplies our teachers purchase with their own funds. Additionally, we provide creature comforts through frequent appreciation events, helping to brighten their day while they brighten the lives of our children!
