Current Role: VP of Programs & Castle Run Co-Chair
Length of Time in Current Role: 1 year
Roles/Positions in the past: Youth Protection Chair and Spring Carnival Chair
How many students do you have? 3 kids in Kindergarten, 2nd & 4th
When did you join the PTA? I joined the general PTA 5 years ago

How many years have you been active? I’ve always been a room mom and volunteered but ramped it up the past two years.
Why did you join? I joined because I wanted my kids to see that I found their school important and for them to see that I had an interest in the place they are five days a week.
Why did you choose your current board position? We only get a short period of time from kindergarten to 6th grade when kids get to have fun in school and really enjoy it. I think it’s important to do as much as we can to bring that extra joy to the school day and also put on fun events outside of school hours to bring our community together.
What is your favorite event/memory? The fall festivals and spring carnivals. It’s so fun to see parents socializing while the kids have a blast running around enjoying all of the activities. It really brings our school community together.
What is one piece of advice you would give to a new board member or someone interested in joining the board? Don’t be afraid to join even if you don’t have any previous experience. Most of the time fresh ideas are exactly what the board needs to evolve.
