Staci Young
President
It is my distinct honor to serve as this year's PTO President for a third year. I have a supportive husband of 13 years, an amazing 1st grader and a recently graduated 5th grader. I have been a part of this organization for 6 years serving different roles including Spirit Wear, Holiday Marketplace Coordinator, and Communications Board Member. Professionally, I have been in various marketing roles and wanted to lead my expertise in MarCom, leadership, project management and event planning to help create a fun Riojas community.

Gwendolyn Pyle
Vice President of Communications
I'm a wife, mom of three (2 current & 1 future Riojas Patriot) and marketer by day. I am honored to serve the Riojas PTO as the VP of Communications. I enjoy being active in the PTO because it helps our school, kids and brings together our amazing community. I also serve on the Board of Directors for the Pflugerville Chamber of Commerce. I started my journey in the Riojas Elementary PTO as the School Supplies Coordinator, as a working mom, I love the convenience and cost of the service - it gives you the gift of time! (Seriously just order them!)

Lilliana Garcia
Vice President of Volunteering
I am very excited to be rejoining your PTO Board. I have served in the past on the board in the role of Hospitality and have been a volunteer with the PTO for various fun events. My daughter, Merida, is in 2nd Grade Spanish Immersion and Brooke, a recent 5th Grade graduate and a new Patriot, Winston. When I am not helping build fun elementary school memories for the students and teachers of Riojas Elementary, I am creating magical memories for families as a Travel Professional specializing in Disney destinations. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you through all of your volunteer efforts. I know this will be an amazing year!

I'm stoked to put the FUN in VP of Fundraising for a second year with family centered events and exploring new opportunities to increase Riojas's PTO income. My family and I moved to Pflugerville last year after several years as a military family. I've been married to my husband, Bryan, for 13 years. We have a 2nd grader, Bryan Jr., at Riojas. I have served as the Holiday Marketplace Chair and Carnival Co-Chair. I can't wait for another exciting year and to meet all of you during all the fun (seriously, come say hey!)

Jessica Alcorn
Treasurer
I have one child at Riojas, Sofia, a third grader in the Spanish Immersion Program. I decided to volunteer this year so that I can be more involved at Riojas and give back to the school. Its important for me to be an active parent where my children will go to school and this allows me the opportunity to do that. I love to craft! I have been getting more into crafting now that I have a silhouette machine :)

Teacher Liaison
I am so excited to be a representative for the Riojas staff this year as Teacher Liaison. This will be my 2nd year serving on the PTO for the Patriots. I previously served as the Hospitality Chair and loved it. Hospitality brought me so much joy being able to give back to the Staff and Teachers. This year I am now a Staff member! I have two girls, Braylee in 3rd Grade, and Landree in 1st Grade. My husband Nick is also a Watch Dog on campus. We are so proud to call Riojas our home.
