Election Time

Members Elect Your New PTO Board on May 23rd at the 6:30pm PTO Meeting located in the Kerr 2nd floor conference room.

We will be electing a Vice President and a Treasurer to the PTO Board.

We have 3 Nominees for the Vice President Position (blurb from nominee below name, if provided):

  • Dee Dee Malloy: Hello, my name is Dee Dee Malloy and I am interested in becoming the new PTO Vice President at Kerr Elementary. Next year, I will have a daughter in the 7th grade at Dorseyville Middle School and a son in the 4th grade at Kerr. I am very excited to be a part of such an innovative and exciting school and feel honored to be nominated for this position.
    I have been active in my children’s school for 7 years as a member of the PTG, fundraising chairperson, and volunteer at their previous school. This year, at Kerr, I have been a member of the party planning committee, and had the great experience of helping out with the Math Pentathlon. I am a member of the PTO and volunteer in the Fox Chapel School District.
    Among my strengths – I am a great team-player, detail-oriented, great at multitasking, I have heart for children, and I enjoy meeting and working with people. I believe the education of this generation is a partnership and we all are responsible to contribute, guide, and mentor the next generation of leaders. We can all make a difference in our community. School should be a safe space to grow and experience leadership opportunities for our kids.
    I would like to continue being involved in my children’s schools in any capacity that I am needed. I believe that I would be an asset to the PTO board of Kerr Elementary, and if afforded the opportunity, I will give my very best if elected as Vice President. Thank you for your consideration!
  • David Turner: I served as an auditor this year reviewing and confirming all of the purchases made by the PTO. I also participated in several PTO meetings.  Next year, my son Ethan will be a second grader, and my daughter Lilly will start kindergarten (Mary, my youngest, will join her siblings at Kerr in three years).  I have also taught as a substitute in all of the schools in the district, and teach full-time in the Pittsburgh Public Schools.
  • April Zeiner: My name is April. I am currently a student at Carlow University, working towards my undergrad and master degrees in psychology. I have two boys in Kerr. Elias will be in 4th grade and Corbin will be in 2nd grade this upcoming school year. This current school year, I have been able to help out with the ice cream social and both movie nights. I look forward to helping out with the summer send off and the Chapel Gate swim party. I enjoy being able to participate in PTO meetings but often cannot make it due to evening classes. I hope with the addition of morning meetings, I can be present more often.

 

We have 1 Nominee for the Treasurer Position:

  • John Zeiner: Hi, I’m John. I have two boys, Elias, who will be in 4th grade this upcoming school year and Corbin, who will be in 2nd grade.  The 2017-2018 school year, I have participated in the movie night and attended a PTO meeting. Previously, I served as the auditor of the PTA’s finances.  I am a den leader with Cub Scout Pack 381 where this past year I led the Tiger (1st graders) den.  I work for Gateway Health as a Manager, Corporate Informatics.
