Our 2025 Fun Run was an incredible success, and it’s all thanks to YOU! With your generosity and enthusiasm, we raised just over $16,000 — surpassing our school goal! Donations came in from 26 different states , showing just how far our Emerald community reaches. A huge thank you to Angela Gates for coordinating this year’s event. Her organization, energy, and creativity made the day run smoothly from start to finish. We’re also deeply grateful to all of the volunteers who helped with setup, passing out waters and Otter Pops, cheering, cleanup, and everything in between. We couldn’t do it without you! And of course, thank you to every student, family member, and friend who donated, shared fundraising pages, and came out to cheer on our Otters. Your support helps fund classroom needs, after-school clubs, sports, and special programs that enrich our kids’ school experience. The Fun Run isn’t just about raising money — it’s about school spirit, teamwork, and community. Seeing students run, laugh, and cheer each other on reminds us what Emerald is all about. 💚 Thank you for making this year’s Fun Run our best yet!

Who Wo Are

The Emerald Elementary PTO is a community of families, teachers, and staff working together to make our school the best it can be. Every parent and guardian is automatically a member of the PTO, and there are no dues to join. We believe that when families and schools partner, students thrive.



The PTO supports classroom needs, builds connections through events, and helps create a welcoming school community. Whether you come to meetings, volunteer at an event, or simply stay informed, you are part of the Emerald PTO.

What We Do

The Emerald PTO helps make our school a vibrant place to learn and grow. From classroom grants and assemblies to family events, fundraisers, and staff appreciation, we support the programs that bring students, families, and teachers together. Every Popsicle on the Playground, Fun Run lap, and end-of-year BBQ happens because of PTO support.

Volunteer With Us

Our PTO programs and events only happen because of volunteers like you. From planning big events to lending a hand for an hour, there are opportunities for every schedule and interest.


Volunteers help with everything from classroom activities and family nights to fundraising and behind-the-scenes support. You do not need special skills or a huge time commitment to make a difference.



When you volunteer, you help create lasting memories for our students and strengthen our school community. If you would like to be part of the fun, let us know. We would love to have you join us.

Support Emerald PTO

Not every family can volunteer, and that’s okay. Another great way to support Emerald is through donations. Every contribution, large or small, helps us fund classroom needs, student activities, and community events.



Your donation goes right back into our school, making a direct impact for students and teachers.
