Meet the Board

It always pays to know who to go to when you need to get something done at school. So, make sure you know who’s who on the 2020/21 PTA Board!

Also, consider joining us! The work of selecting next year’s PTA slate is now underway. If you are interested or want to find out more about any of these positions, visit the Village Hub to learn what they are each responsible for and how to contact them.

		President, Amilia F. Parent of Online Otter Zara & Masked Pug Lilah “Distance Learning has taught me that my kids are far more capable than I give them credit for.”

		Vice President, Winnie B. Parent of Pandemic Panther Macey & Alum Matthew “Distance learning has taught me…that we all have new roles and responsibilities, everyday brings us new challenges and we are all doing the best we can so let’s be kind to one another.”

		Secretary, Melissa R. Parent of Epic Elephant Hadley & Alum Chris “Distance Learning has taught me that I swear too much in work meetings…”

		Treasurer, Kathy H. Parent of Flaming Fire Dragon Max, Cosmic Kitty Blaise, & Cosmic Kitty Ali “Distance learning has confirmed for me that Village has ROCK STAR Teachers! (It has also taught me to get dressed and brush my hair before school starts for you never know when you will be caught on zoom!)”

		Financial Secretary, Binita M. Parent of Flaming Fire Dragon Kai “If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Distance Learning, it is that I now know I have many strengths, but teaching my own child isn’t one of them.”

		Fundraising Chair, Shannon H. Parent of Masked Pug Artella & Alum Harrison Distance Learning has taught me changing your name to “Recon[n]ecting…” does buy you some time on Zoom. Distance Learning has taught us how to make lunches to order based upon Zoom meetings randomly ending at different times daily with two students. Distance Learning has taught me it’s the shirt that counts. Distance Learning has taught us it’s nice not going into school as much as we did. Distance Learning has taught us we miss going into school as much as we did. Distance Learning has taught me to value the strong and committed Village family. Distance Learning has taught me how much we need to continue to support our teachers. Distance Learning has proved to me that I love my kids, because I really couldn’t do this all the time.

		Communications Chair, Bianca K. Parent of Curious Caterpillar Theo & Alum Konstantin “Distance Learning has taught me that instruction does much, but encouragement is the key to make it all work – for both the parent and the child!”

		Enrichment Chair, Lupe O. Parent of Zooming Zebra Maddie & Mega Moon Rock Elizabeth “If there is one thing I’ve learned from Distance Learning it is that kids can be amazingly resilient and fragile at the same time.” “Distance Learning has taught me to build on small ‘a-ha’ moments to instill confidence in learning.”

		Community Events Chair, Amanda F. Parent of Online Otter Lucy & Curious Caterpillar Gracie “Distance learning has taught me how resilient my kids are. Also, on some days hugs are more important than anything else.”

		Membership Chair, Allison M. Parent of Zooming Zebra Emerson & Mega Moonrock Kennedy “Distance learning has taught me patience, flexibility, and how thoughtful, caring, and wonderful our teachers are!”

		Positive School Climate Chair, Lynn L. Parent of Online Otter Emilia & Epic Elephant Gianna “Distance Learning has taught me that we need to pay teachers more and that we are adaptable and resilient, especially our children. When we work together, we can get through anything. We miss seeing our Village Community.”

		Parliamentarian, Nazila P. Parent of Online Otter Lila & Alum Adam “If there’s one thing I’ve learned from Distance Learning, it is … to keep it positive; as tough as this is on all of us, some good will come out of this.”
