PTA BOARD MEMBERS

Tushima Bhatia

Hello! My name is Tushima Bhatia, and I am excited and honored to serve as Kendall PTA Vice President this year. Over the past several years, I’ve been actively involved in our school community, previously serving as PTA Secretary for 3 terms and as a Board Member At Large. I also enjoy leading Kendall’s annual Multicultural Night, which celebrates and unites our diverse community, and I am proud to continue in my 6th year as Kendall’s Parent Diversity Advisory Council (PDAC) Liaison.

Beyond these roles, I have volunteered for a variety of programs at Kendall because I am passionate about supporting our teachers and enhancing the school experience for all students. I have a 4th grader at Kendall, Ananya, and a 6th grader, Aarav. Originally from Massachusetts, I moved to Naperville with my husband in 2011, and we have loved being part of the Kendall family! I look forward to continuing to build connections, celebrate our community, and help make this another great year for our Patriots at Kendall!

I’m excited to serve as Kendall’s PTA Secretary for the 2025–2026 school year and to work alongside an amazing group of board members to help make it a fantastic year for our school community. Last year, I served as Co-President and loved leading our family night events, which brought so many of our families together.

With a background in education, I have a deep appreciation for the incredible work our teachers do every day, and I’m passionate about supporting them in meaningful ways. This year, my husband Bret and I will have two daughters at Kendall, while our son embarks on his own school adventure in preschool. As both a parent and a volunteer, I truly believe in the power of a strong school community—and I can’t wait to continue working with all of you to make Kendall the best it can be!
