The Johnson Elementary PTO connects families of students, teachers, and administrators at Robert D. Johnson Elementary School with the goal of enabling student success by supporting the educational efforts of our teachers.
We provide nearly $50,000 annually in funding for items needed by our teachers and our students because state and district funds can often be depleted by essential needs.

- Teacher grants ($200/teacher)
- Book Fair gifts ($25/teacher)
