Lindsay Parker is excited to start her second year as Co-President of the PTA. She looks forward to working with the PTA and the school, and fostering a strong sense of community within the WSL school district. Lindsay is married to Jarrod and has one daughter, Piper, who will be in 2nd grade. Piper is also excited to help with all PTA events. PS- don't worry about the dangerous sign! We are not really dangerous!! 

Erica Roccario-Thorpe is excited to begin her first year as Co-Vice President of the PTA. She looks forward to continuing to build on PTA programs, giving back to the school, and fostering a strong sense of community within the WSL school district. Erica is married to Evan and together they have two wonderful children- Makayla (3rd Grade) and Jackson (K). She loves being her family's biggest cheerleader and embarking on new adventures with them! 

Allison Gorman is a proud mom to her daughter, Reagan, who is currently in 3rd grade at West Sand Lake Elementary. As an Averill Park graduate herself, Allison is passionate about giving back to the community she grew up in. She is dedicated to building a strong school community and supporting students, families, and staff through creative events and meaningful connections. With a background in auditing at Questar III BOCES, Allison brings strong organizational skills and a love for planning to her role. She looks forward to helping make this school year fun and memorable for all! 

Lynn is excited to be joing the PTA for her first year.  She is the Mom to Peyton (3rd grade) and married to Ed.  Lynn is a dedicated dance and lacrosse Mom and when not doing that loves going to concerts and traveling.  I can't wait to give back to the school and community and help plan fun events for the kids to enjoy and make memories for years to come.  

Cara Tavella is excited to be stepping into her first year on the PTA board! Married to Evan, she’s the proud mom of two amazing daughters, Stella (4th grade) and Cecilia (2nd grade). When she’s not cheering at school events or volunteering her time, she’s wrangling their lovable dog, Pepper. Cara loves giving back to the school that does so much for her family—and does it all with a smile, a sense of humor, and maybe (always) a cup of coffee in hand.
