PTO

PTO Welcomes You!

Your PTO Executive Board would like to welcome all new and returning families and staff.

PTO is a group of volunteers including parents, teachers and school staff working together to promote and support Robert J.C. Rice Elementary with fun activities and raise funds to support our outdoor learning space and other needed items for our school. Here is the video from last years fundraiser - Candy Land.

Programs and Activities

Fry's Community Rewards to Support Rice Elementary

A new program from Fry's Grocery allows individuals to link their Fry's rewards card to earn money for their school! Rice families can visit https://www.frysfood.com to link their card. Once logged into your Fry's account, you can search for Rice Elementary School PTO either by name or DE986 and then click Enroll. New users will need to create an account which requires some basic information, a valid email address and a Fry's Rewards card. Customers must have a registered Fry's Rewards card account to link to the organization.

Purchases count toward Rice Elementary after you register your Fry's Rewards card. Participants must swipe their registered Fry's Rewards card or use the phone number that is related to their registered Fry's Rewards card when shopping for each purchase to count.

Thank you for supporting Rice Elementary!

** If you do not want to participate with the fundraisers but would still like to help the PTO financially, donations can always be made directly to the Rice PTO throughout the school year.
