The NOVI PTO Team:

June Kim, President 

I am originally from South Korea. I work as the school psychologist and head baseball coach at Norte Vista.

I love taking walks with my wife and visiting National Parks with my family. I am the proud father of 5 amazing kids. Three of my children have graduated from Novi two more are currently attending Novi.

Serving as the PTO President has been an honor and I will continue to support and lead this organization to serve our students, faculty/staff, and families.

Miriam Castell de Oro, Vice President

What motivates me to work at the school first and foremost is to teach my children that it's better to give back and that it's very important to work for your community because by doing our part, each of us makes our community better.

I'm also motivated by the children, so that they each feel supported and believe they have and deserve a bright future. I hope to prevent more of our children from ending up on the streets and with addictions. That drives me to help more and to get involved in whatever way I can.

Deisi Garcia, Treasurer/Secretary

I am originally from Orange County. I enjoy gardening and being surrounded by plants. My daughter Alahnie Guzman is a senior at Novi. I joined PTO in hopes of providing a favorable, fun and welcoming experience for our kids, faculty and overall community.

Jaymee O’Rafferty, Communication and Media Director

-I'm an English teacher (undercover for a few years as Community School Site Coordinator). I've worked at Norte Vista since 2012.  

-I was born and raised here in Riverside. I ♡ Riverside because it really is the "biggest small town." 

-I enjoy: reading (and sometimes keeping things alive like plants and my three boys).

-I love serving the families at Norte Vista, so helping with PTO is truly an honor. We have the best students and the most hardworking, caring parents. We can build a stronger community together if we all support each other.
