Co-President
My name is Sonny Schaffnit, and this is my third year on the Board, and my second year as Co-President. During my time as a PTO member, I have worked on several projects that are near to my heart. I helped to create the Fall Carnival, which is an after-school event for the entire family. I also helped to re-imagine Tinsel Town, our holiday shopping fundraiser. Lastly, I helped revive the Teacher Grant Program, allowing teachers to request funds for items to enhance their classrooms.
Co-President
My name is Tiffani, and I am honored to serve as the Co-President of the Burchfield Primary PTO Board. This is my second year on the board, having previously served as Secretary. Before joining the Burchfield PTO, I spent four years on the Shaler Area Hockey Club board, gaining valuable experience in community leadership and collaboration.
My goal is to enhance each child’s educational experience by supporting the students, teachers, staff, and families of Burchfield Primary. I’m committed to creating a positive, enriching school environment that benefits all students—both now and in the years to come.
I'm excited to continue working with the Burchfield and greater Shaler Area community to make this school year successful, memorable, and full of opportunities for our students.
Vice President
Hello! My name is Sandy Stover, although you may also know me as Sandy Shelly. I've been at Burchfield since 2017, and I've served on the board as Secretary and Co-President. I wanted to be an active member of the PTO because I'm invested in the school as a long-time parent - I'll be a Burchfield parent until 2030! As a birth-to-third-grade educator, I'm not just thinking about what we can do next school year, but how we can work together to benefit the current students as well as the students in the upcoming years.
Secretary
My name is Samantha, and I am a mom of four. I believe the PTO plays a key role not only in the fun activities but also, very importantly, in ensuring our teachers and staff are well supported, which is instrumental in providing a safe, positive, engaging learning environment for all children to thrive. I look forward to making the school better, not just for its current students, but for all the students to come in the future. My goal is to work hard for the current PTO and set up future boards for success, and leave Burchfield better than when my children started.
Treasurer
My name is Jessica, and this will be my 2nd term on the PTO Board as Treasurer.
During my time as treasurer, I have always strived to be approachable, transparent, and bring the relevant details to the attention of the PTO Body every month. I am honored to continue to expand upon these efforts and deliver enriching experiences for our kids and community. I am also the Chair for the Yearbook Committee.
