What grade are your kids in? My kids have all gone to Sunset Ridge Elementary. I have Lucy who is in 3rd grade this year and then her older brother's Jude (8th) and Max (6th) that are at Glacier Creek Middle School. 

What is your favorite PTA sponsored event?  My favorite PTA sponsored event is probably the Winter Tea! I was so happy that we were finally able to bring it back last year. I love the tradition of it and seeing all the families enjoying the art work, music and cookies.  

What do you love about the PTA at Sunset Ridge? I love being a part of the PTA because it gives me a way to be involved in my kids' school and be a small part of the behind the scenes. It has also given me the opportunity to connect with other families in the community and build strong relationships with teachers and staff that I may have not had the opportunity to get to know as well had I not been involved! My favorite part is finally getting to the day of a big event (that so much planning has gone into) and see the kids and families enjoying every minute of it. It makes the behind the scenes work so worth it!

What do you do outside of volunteering with the PTA?  Outside of the PTA and being a taxi driver for my three kids, I work full time as a Manager of Recruiting for a local firm called Carex Consulting Group.
