Meet the faces behind the PTO this year! We may not be in St. Olaf, but we’re here to plan the events, support our amazing teachers, and bring all the heart, and hustle to keep things buzzing.

As Sophia Petrillo would say, "Better late than never... but early is better." So get to know your board, get involved today, and remember—there’s always room at our table. (And yes, volunteer spot YOU is waiting for your name! 😉)

Thank you for being a friend! 💛🐝

Meet our Secretary, Stephanie Bonham.

Stephanie is a proud grandmother of three wonderful grandchildren, including her granddaughter, Amethyst, who is a 4th grader at Berry Shoals. Being involved in Amethyst’s school and watching her grow has made Stephanie passionate about supporting Berry Shoals and helping make it a special place for all students.

Stephanie works in the mortgage industry as a manager at Newrez, where she leads a team, stays organized, solves problems, and helps others succeed. She is excited to bring those skills to her role on the PTO.

Outside of work and school, Stephanie enjoys spending time with her family, baking, reading, being involved in her community, and, of course, spoiling her three grandchildren!

She is excited to serve the Berry Shoals community, get to know more of our amazing families and teachers, and help create fun and meaningful experiences for our students.

Thanks for all you do for our BSE Community, Stephanie!

Meet the next busy, busy bee!

Meet our Procurement Treasurer, Paige Hall.

Paige has 6 children. Arieana who is in the 9th grade at BFA, Valentino in the 7th and Kenley in the 6th at Florence chapel, Xavier in the 3rd and Boden in kindergarten at Berry shoals, and lastly Judah who is 11 months and hangs at home with mama. She is currently a stay at home mom who spends a lot of time not at home and either at the elementary school or middle helping out. She has a lot of talent in shopping so this position is perfect for her. She has been apart of the PTO for two years now and she said as long as her kiddos are still attending the school she will always be happy to be apart of it.

Her favorite part about being Procurement Treasurer is… “honestly finding good deals and making sure we’re getting the best quality for the money. I like comparing options and knowing I helped the organization save money while also providing the kiddos and staff with the coolest things.”

Meet our newest board bee and Communications Chair, Brittany Taylor. ✨🐝

Brittany has 3 daughters: Aubrey her 19 year old stepdaughter, who is in cosmetology school, and her twin girls - Sadie and Jordan who will be starting Kindergarten this year at Berry Shoals. Brittany is a product manager who designs the technology companies use to hire employees, and has been with her current company for 18 years. She’s always had a passion for thinking creatively and using technology to solve challenges. This is her first time serving on a PTO and she is excited to learn and be involved!

Her favorite part about taking on the role of Communications chair is…”the opportunity to make new connections and help every family at Berry Shoals feel truly seen, connected, and right at home. I know how frustrating it can feel to be out of the loop or unsure of where you fit in. To be a part of solving that for other parents and teachers excites me!”
