2022-2023 Leadership Team
President Andrea Alster |
I am very excited to start my second year in the president role for the 2022-2023 school year. We are looking forward to a great year with all of our favorite events. My focus is to help ensure we can make this year as fun and enriching as possible for the students. I believe the PTO board is a collaboration of all members as well as our parent community. I welcome everyone in the Grace McWayne community to attend our monthly meetings to be a part of sharing ideas and planning events for our school. I encourage you to volunteer whenever you can to help make these events possible throughout the year. I wish everyone a great 2022-2023 school year! Please contact me to answer ANY questions you may have about our PTO. |

I’m excited to join the board for the 2022-2023 school year! My children are in fourth and second grade this year. I have helped with updating the school directory for the past two years and look forward to taking on a bigger role with the PTO. My primary role is to keep our school community informed about all the activities going on at GMS! From fundraising events to restaurant nights to recognizing student achievements, we have a lot going on at GMS throughout the year! The areas that I will be working with are:

Teacher Representatives Sandra Lundgren, Barb Spence |
As the staff of Grace McWayne School, we believe a collaborative relationship between parents and teachers is the heart of our PTO. Our goal is to work together with parents to make decisions that will directly benefit our students as well as create fun and meaningful learning experiences. Several teachers will represent the staff at PTO meetings this year. Please feel free to contact any of these teachers with questions and input. We’re looking forward to an exciting year together! |
