President

 

Positions Held:

President 2023 - current

Family:
Husband: Tanner 
Children: Gia (4th grade) and Jet (Kindergarten) 


Reasons for being a member of Rock Creek PTO: 

Community has always played an important role in my life whether it be where I grew up, went to college, or in my various workplaces. Community only happens when people participate, and after having a daughter at Rock Creek for four years and a son entering Kindergarten, I know it is time for me to play a more active role in the Rock Creek Community. 

I have enjoyed serving on work-related boards in the past and look forward to pouring energy into a new area with Rock Creek PTO. Our teachers, administrators, and support staff work so hard to serve our students and I want to make sure that our Rock Creek Community continues to recognize and support this work. I look forward to working with the PTO and hope to continue creating an environment where Rock Creek families find joy and fulfillment in offering their time and talent to support the various activities and initiatives we plan throughout the year.

Positions Held:

Vice President 2023-current

 

Family:
Husband: Alan

Children:  Carrick (5th grade) and Ellie (1st grade)


Reasons for being a member of Rock Creek PTO:
I want to be a more involved and informed parent, and to do more to show my appreciation for Rock Creek staff. Our so is neurodivergent, which (for us) means a lot of meetings/communication with Rock Creek teachers and staff. Their guidance, time, and support have been invaluable to our family.

Serving on the PTO Board allows me the opportunity to reciprocate that support; advocating for the teachers and students, and doing what I can in this role to help ensure they have the resources they need for a positive (and maybe even fun!) educational experience at Rock Creek.

Reasons for being a member of Rock Creek PTO:

I want to be involved in the education our children receive and the experiences that shape their lives. Being on the PTO board allows me to have more insight into what is happening at the school. And it provides me the opportunity to positively influence for the environment in which they are in while they are learning. I am passionate about giving and ensuring those who take care of our children know they are appreciated and loved.
