We are excited to announce that the Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) will be bringing their traveling production to Emerald Elementary this year! In just one week, two professional directors will guide our students from auditions to a full-scale performance, complete with costumes, sets, and music. This program is always a favorite—it gives students a chance to try something new, build confidence, and shine on stage.

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.
