Vice President:
Anna Forsberg

Anna Forsberg (she/her) is a Postpartum Doula, a wife and mother to three children, ages 13, 9 and 7, who are entering their third year at the Co-Op. Her favorite things are chai tea, chocolate, house plants, a meal enjoyed with friends, playing board games with her family and talking about all things postpartum with no shame or judgment.  Anna is passionate about community building and is looking forward to applying her particular set of skills to support the Co-Op.

Treasurer:
Elizabeth Erlich

I’m a San Diego native, taco lover, camping enthusiast, and bread baker. I’m a university administrator turned stay at home parent of two boys. My children are in the lower grades of SDCCS, 1st grade and 3rd grade.  This is our third school year at SDCCS, and it feels like a warm hug every time we step on campus.  As your PSA Treasurer, my goals are to support and appreciate our campus staff, bring to life the amazing ideas of our parent community, and to make new friends along the way.  Please reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or silly-off-the-wall ideas. We just may be able to turn that silly idea into the most amazing campus event, with the help of a committed volunteer community. If you see me on campus, please be awkward by stopping me to say hi.  That’s why I’ve shared my photo, so you can recognize who I am.

Communications Coordinator:
Jessica Ertle

I felt fortunate to join the SDCCS community in 2010 as a teacher and have always loved and believed in our mission, philosophy, and community. My four kids now attend the Co-op and I am beyond grateful to be a part of the school. As the Communications Coordinator, I hope to help everyone stay informed about and connected to the events and opportunities at SDCCS. Our phenomenal program is reliant on families reaching out and finding the way they can best support the school. I look forward to connecting with you soon!
