As our Greathouse/Shryock families head into break, pause for a moment — because we have a story to share.
Not a loud one.
Not a flashy one.
But a story built on trust.
On steadiness.
On the kind of leadership that keeps everything moving, even when no one is watching.
This is a story about the work that happens quietly.
The systems that hold.
And a volunteer whose calm presence made it possible for everything else to shine.
This is the story of Amanda —
the hero who held it all together.
Every great story has heroes you see.
And then there are the ones who carry the entire mission… quietly.
Behind every family night.
Behind every fundraiser.
Behind every reimbursement.
Behind every dollar spent with purpose —
there is one role that must be steady, precise, and unwavering.
And this is where our story begins.
Enter Amanda. 🦸♀️
Amanda is a fifth-grade mom, already navigating deadlines, emotions, milestones, and those once-in-a-lifetime “last year at Greathouse” moments.
And yet — she stepped forward and took on one of the most demanding, detail-heavy, high-trust roles in the PTA.
📊 The Treasurer.
Not for recognition.
Not for applause.
But because this work matters.
While others plan events, Amanda ensures they can happen.
While ideas fly, she grounds them in reality.
While funds move in every direction, she keeps everything balanced, compliant, accurate, and accountable.
No spotlight.
No fanfare.
Just consistency. Integrity. Calm.
And here’s what most people never see:
👉 When you don’t hear about money issues
👉 When reimbursements are smooth
👉 When budgets align
👉 When nothing falls through the cracks
That’s not luck.
That’s Amanda.
Amanda shows up with clarity, patience, and precision —
all while juggling the busy life of a fifth-grade family
and helping close out a meaningful chapter for her child at Greathouse/Shryock.
💛 Strong.
💛 Steady.
💛 Dependable.
A protector of trust.
A leader who ensures every dollar serves our kids.
This PTA doesn’t just run on passion.
It runs on people like Amanda —
people who quietly make excellence possible.
🦁 Thank you, Amanda, for being the backbone behind the scenes and a true PTA superhero.
Our pride.
Our gratitude.
Our fifth-grade mom hero. 💪✨
