PTO
Our Mission
The Richland Elementary School's Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) promotes the well-being and enrichment of our students through activities that stimulate the physical, emotional and cultural growth of our children. The PTO's projects benefit students by developing united efforts between teachers and parents and fostering a closer relationship between home and school life.
