Welcome to the Diamond PTO!
As we wrap up another great year at Diamond Middle School, we’re excited to begin building for 2026–27 and we’d love for you to be part of it.
Next year, Olivia Kelley will be stepping into the new PTO Strategy & Community Director role, helping lead a refreshed PTO structure built around:
Shared leadership
Smaller, manageable volunteer roles
Flexible involvement
Community-building
and making PTO participation feel a whole lot more approachable (and fun)
Many families may recognize Olivia from LexFUN!, the Fiske PTO, coaching soccer/baseball/flag football around town, or past Diamond events.
2026–27 is very much a rebuilding and growth year for the Diamond PTO, and we’re actively looking for new teammates who:
want to help occasionally
enjoy organizing or events
prefer behind-the-scenes support
love spreadsheets or social media
want to stay informed
or simply want to meet more Diamond families
No giant commitments. No one is doing this alone.
We already have a wonderful core group of experienced PTO volunteers helping steer the ship, and we’d love more families to join the adventure.
Join Us!

Support Behind the Scenes
The PTO also works closely with Diamond Administration, teachers, Student Council, and community partners to help strengthen communication, support school initiatives, and create a positive, connected school experience for students and families.
Many of these programs and events are funded directly through PTO memberships and donations and powered by parent volunteers giving whatever time and energy they can.
Whether families contribute time, financial support, ideas, snacks, spreadsheets, event help, or simply stay connected and informed - it all helps make Diamond stronger.
