✨ **MEET THE PTA!** ✨

We’re back with another **Meet the PTA** spotlight! 💙

Our PTA is made up of parents and caregivers who volunteer their time, talents, and plenty of behind-the-scenes energy to help make our schools a little more fun and special for our students.

This time, we’re introducing **Jacki McLean, PTA Secretary and Co-Chair of Holiday Workshop & the Father/Daughter Dance!** 🎉

Jacki has been involved with the PTA for nearly 10 school years and has worn quite a few hats along the way. From meeting minutes and Back-to-School packets to Teacher Grants, themed events, and her favorite—**Holiday Workshop** 🎄✂️—she’s helped make a lot of PTA magic happen!

And because we’re getting to know the *people* behind the PTA, you should also know Jacki loves a good white chocolate caramel mocha ☕ and firmly believes there’s **always a good reason to make a spreadsheet.** 😄📊

Take a peek at her spotlight to learn more—and if you’ve ever thought about getting involved, Jacki’s advice is simple: **Come to a meeting, come chat with us, and be as involved as you want to be.** 💙

✨ Follow along as we continue to **Meet the PTA!**
