Deborah Camero
President This is my second year on the Riojas PTO. As the VP of Programs last year, I was able to help organize events like Pastries with Parents and Teacher Appreciation Week. My daughter is in first grade in the Spanish Dual Language Program. We’ve loved our time at Riojas, and I can’t wait to see what our PTO can accomplish this year. |

Lilliana Garcia
Vice President of Communications
I am very excited to be returning as your Vice President of Communications for this school year. I have served in the past on the board in the role of Hospitality, VP of Volunteering, and have been a volunteer with the PTO for various events such as Spring Carnival, Holiday Marketplace, dances, movie nights, and many other fun events. I currently have two children at Riojas Elementary in the Spanish Immersion Program and have a RES graduate. 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.

Amanda Dean
Vice President of Fundraising
This is my first full year involved with the Riojas Elementary PTO and I’m excited to hit the ground running as the Vice President of Fundraising. My husband, Marshall, and I have lived in Avalon since June 2020 and specifically moved here to send our children to Riojas after hearing such great things from friends in the neighborhood. My daughter Lucy is in first grade and my daughter Abigail will join her in Kindergarten next year. We are also expecting a son at the beginning of 2022. My expectation was to always be involved in my children’s education as much as I could - while I’m not a teacher myself, I have educators in my family and have the utmost respect for what they accomplish with our children! I am proud to serve the Riojas PTO for this year and hope to be a part of it for a very long time!
