Welcome Back Peakview Eagles!
Our mission is to assist in attaining the highest level of education and welfare for the entire student body of Peakview Elementary through the cooperative efforts of the Faculty and Staff, the Cherry Creek District community and the parents.
Peakview's Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is comprised of volunteer parents, teachers, and administrators who are passionate about positively impacting your child's education. Our amazing team of volunteers are committed to helping Peakview students thrive. We take our convictions and turn them into action.PTO funds enrich our children's educational experience. We organize events that bring us together during & outside of school hours to support the positive attitude of our community.
Our goal is to make this school year AWESOME! We especially are dedicated to trying new ideas and giving Peakview students new opportunities to deepen their sense of wonder and community.
We have MANY awesome ideas in our back pocket; however, we need parent support to make it all happen. We will take any and all the help we can get from volunteers (at school or from home), sponsors for events and fundraisers, and of course, donations.
We have some amazing parents at our school and we appreciate each and every one of you!

Hey! I’m Ashley, married to Doug for 13 years with 2 sons, a 1st and 3rd grader. I am a pediatric nurse at Children’s Hospital. We are a very typical outdoor Colorado family. Advocating for children is close to my heart and our new team is trying to learn as much as we can about our PTO quickly so we can help support Peakview - we hope you consider volunteering with us!

Treasurer
Hi! My name is Ashley Crane and I am the treasurer for the Peakview PTO. This is my first year on the team and I’m looking forward to getting more involved. I have a first grader here at Peakview and a two year old at home. Our family loves to be outdoors and travel. I work as a nurse manager at Children’s Hospital and love working with kids! A fun fact about me is that my siblings and I all went to Peakview growing up and my mom was a teacher at Peakview for many years!
