What we do Together

The Reiche Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) collaborates with teachers to provide our students with fulfilling academic, cultural, and physical enrichment activities.   The PTO also promotes parent volunteerism to build strong relationships between parents and the school and to foster a welcoming and engaging community. 

Reiche PTO 2026-27 Board Members:

Co-Chairs: Emily Hill & Whitney Hogan
Treasurer: Julia Dilger

Members: Sarah Southard, Vera Correll, Emily Liebling, Anna Paschal

The PTO also supports the community by communicating information on news and events via PTO meetings and emails and hosting family events throughout the year.

We welcome new volunteers!

All parents are encouraged to become a part of the PTO and help build our school community by getting involved in those areas where they have a personal interest. 

Please feel free to contact us with any questions reichepto@gmail.com.

How can I get involved?

Please check our calendar for our meeting dates. We meet quarterly on TUESDAYS, with food and childcare. Or, reach out to reichepto@gmail.com if you’re interested to get involved but can’t make it to a meeting. We would love to work with you and your family!
