Miranda Blunt, Vice President: "My family is new to Skokie and East Prairie as well. I'm volunteering to support an equity-minded PTA where all members of the EPS community feel welcome and valued!"

Cathleen Song, Treasurer: "I joined the PTA because I love being a part of the East Prairie community. I wanted to be involved in my children's school and to help support the teachers and staff who do so much for our kids. It's a wonderful way to connect with other families and make a difference in our school community while creating meaningful experiences for everyone."

Sarah Napathalung, Secretary: "I decided to join the PTA because I really enjoy being involved with my kids' school. They both went to a co-op preschool where I volunteered in the classroom a few times a month, served on committees, helped plan events, and eventually served on the Board for the last 2 years. So I gave myself a little break after our youngest's last year there, and now I'm ready to be involved again! I believe it's so important for my kids to see their parents involved and engaged with their schools. And it helps me connect with other parents and our supportive community - which I love!"
