About Us

Our Mission

Juárez Elementary PTO was established in 2013 and since has committed to raising funds to enhance and support the educational experience at Juárez Elementary. We exist to foster the relationship between school, home and the community for our students and their families. We are 100% volunteer run and 100% funded by our families and community partners.

Our philosophy

At Benito Juárez Elementary, our PTO is guided by the values of respect, inclusivity, and community. Inspired by the words of our school’s namesake, Benito Juárez — "Among individuals, as among nations, respect for the rights of others is peace" — we strive to create a welcoming environment where every family feels seen, heard, and empowered.

We believe that when families, educators, and the wider community work together, students thrive. Through volunteering, fundraising, and school-wide events, the PTO supports programs that enrich the student experience and strengthen the bonds that make our Juárez community so special. Together, we build a foundation of peace, respect, and opportunity for all.

2025-2026 Juarez Elementary PTO Executive Board

The Juárez PTO Board consists of four volunteer positions voted in May annually. Board members consist of parents, teachers, or members with a passion for serving our students and families. Our Board works closely with Juarez Administration and Staff Representatives to gain an understanding of how best to engage our students and families to meet their needs.

Learn About Kyle

I have served as VP since my son was in 1st grade. My daughter also attends Juarez as a 3rd grader. I have been active in the PTO since Fall of 2018.

As the years have progressed my contributions and participation have increased. During my time on the board, we have increased our budget times nine, increased our contributions and expanded programs, created better organization, and better communication. The current president and I have brought our PTO into the 21st century with online documents storage, web page, payment and donation systems, streamlined CI, and multi-channeled lines of communication.

Learn About Delayn

I’ve been a proud part of the school community and active with the PTO since Fall 2023. I have two daughters at school, in 1st grade and kindergarten, so being involved is especially meaningful to me. While I’m new to the role of Treasurer, I’m excited to jump in, learn, and help wherever I can. I’m passionate about creating a positive, supportive environment for our students, families, and staff. Being part of the PTO has been such a rewarding experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to give back and connect with our amazing school community. If you see me in the school hall, stop over and say hi—I’d love to meet you!
