Welcome to the Jessie Clark PTSA Hall of Fame! Here’s our stellar lineup of PTSA board members who are brave enough to balance budgets and bake sales with a smile. Get to know the faces behind the chaos (we mean, operations) with a side of humor!
President – Captain Chaos (aka Keith McCormick):
Leading with grace, charm, and an uncanny ability to herd cats (and teenagers), Keith is our fearless leader. He’s mastered the art of making decisions faster than Google can load a page.

Treasurer – The Budget Whisperer (aka Lindsay Nunnely):
Lindsay juggles numbers like a pro and has never met a spreadsheet they didn’t love. She’s the reason our bake sales break even and our fundraisers flourish.

Secretary – The Wordsmith (aka Danita Dobbins):
Danita is the PTSA’s scribe extraordinaire, crafting meeting minutes with the precision of a novelist and the wit of a stand-up comedian. Beware: puns may be involved.

Membership Chair – The Social Butterfly (aka Jen Clark):
Jen is the PTSA’s social guru, convincing everyone from parents to the cafeteria staff to join the fun. She’s even considered starting a PTSA TikTok.

Fundraising Coordinator – The Master Organizer (aka Lynette Crist):
Lynette turns chaos into magic, coordinating events with the precision of a wedding planner and the creativity of a circus ringmaster. They never sweat—just sparkle.

Communications Chair – The Emoji Whisperer (aka Christina Embree):
Christina speaks fluent emoji and social media jargon, keeping our community informed and entertained. She’s the reason our PTSA updates get more likes than cat videos.

Volunteer Coordinator – The Jedi of Recruitment (aka Kerrie Brewer):
Kerrie wields the Force of persuasion, recruiting volunteers with Jedi-like charm. She’s been known to turn a “no” into a “sure, why not?”

These are the brave souls who keep our PTSA ship sailing smoothly (or at least afloat). Talk to them at the next event to learn more about their secret talents (like baking award-winning brownies or moonlighting as a salsa dance instructor). They’re here to serve, support, and sprinkle a little laughter into your PTSA journey.
