This week, meet out PTO Secretary, Jenny! We are all pretty obsessed with her organization skills 💗

Hey there! I’m Jenny! My husband, Matt, and I have been married for nearly 10 years, and we’re so excited (and a little emotional) to send our one and only off to preschool this year. I joined the PTO because it’s important to me to support our teachers and staff. I know how much time, energy, and care goes into what they do, and I’m happy to be able to contribute in whatever way I can throughout the year.

A little more about me: I’m a mental health therapist in private practice, so I have a particular appreciation for the social-emotional side of these early years. Despite all the warnings about the “threenagers,” three was actually my favorite age so far. It felt like that was the age she really started developing her own interests, telling the most imaginative stories, and just becoming such a sweet little person. As a family, we love going to Center Grove, especially during Baby Animal Days. If you've never been, I would highly recommend it in the springtime. We’re also a big pizza family (hubby is Italian, so it's part of the territory). Grimaldi’s is a favorite of ours and pizza nights are definitely a regular occurrence.

I’m really looking forward to getting to know more of our school families, supporting our amazing teachers, and being part of making this a great year for our tiny humans!

(Remember, you too can be part of the PTO! Want to come see what it is about? Our next meeting is Thursday, September 3rd from 5-6 at Terrace!)

Are you ready to Meet your 2026/27 PTO?

First up, your Vice President!

Hi! My name is Bridget! I’ve been married to my husband Steele for almost five years and we have three sweet children. I wanted to join the PTO because I wanted to be involved with my children’s school and thought it would be a fun way to get to know other families!

When I’m not being a parent, I really enjoy cooking and baking cake pops (my newest hobby!), and playing games with my friends and family! One of the meals I make that my kids always eat without complaints is taco pasta! Something about our family is that we like lots of things! We love sports, doing arts and crafts, spending time with loved ones, as well as spending time outside.

I look forward to a great school year and hope to make it one our kids never forget!

(Remember, you too can join our PTO! It is open to EVERY parent and a great way to get involved, support our Teachers and Terrace Staff and our kiddos! Our next PTO meeting is Wednesday, September 2nd from 5-6 pm at Terrace!)
