Welcome! My name is Melissa Arndt & I am excited to return as your PTA President for this 2023-2024 school year. We have been a Kendall family since 2017. I have one Kendall Patriot in 3rd grade named Mackenzie, & two Crone Panthers: Mason (6th grade) & Mikaela (7th grade). My husband (Andy) & I enjoy being involved with our school community. We are thankful for such amazing families, teachers, & staff at Kendall Elementary. I am looking forward to another great year!

Welcome Patriots! I am happy to serve as the Vice President. The PTA's success largely depends on the community it represents and I am proud to be a part of our growing, diverse and supportive school community. I raised money for the PTA through sponsorship from local businesses and won a National PTA STEM grant from Bayer last year. I enjoy teaming up with our creative hospitality team to make hardworking staff feel appreciated. I am also the IPEF liaison and will be co-leading Family nights alongside a talented and enthusiastic team this year. Look forward to a wonderful year ahead!
