2020 - 2021 EXECUTIVE BOARD |
|
PRESIDENT
|
2020 has been a challenge. As PTO president, I am looking forward to helping our WW families, students and staff navigate this uncharted territory. Together we can adapt and have a great school year! My husband and I have 2 children at Westwood this year. MJ is in 3rd grade and Drew is in kindergarten. We also have a 17-year-old cat named Dylan. I would like to say thank you in advance to all our PTO volunteers and all our WW families and staff for their support throughout the past years and the coming year!

CO-VICE PRESIDENT
|
Hello! I’m so excited to be a part of the 2020-2021 Westwood PTO as co-Vice President . My two kiddos, Ryne (3rd grade) and Jack (Kindergarten), LOVE Westwood and I am so happy for the opportunity to help support the teachers and school they love so much! Together as a family we like being outside, going to Iowa State football games, and being with our friends. It’s going to be such a unique school year but I know we will all make the best out of it!
I am very excited to be part of the WW PTO this year as co-Vice President. I am married to Mr. (Brian) Petersen who happens to teach 5th grade here at Westwood. This is his 9th year at Westwood but 14th year of teaching. We have three children, two of which will attend Westwood during the 2020-21 school year in 3rd grade (Graham) and 1st grade (Landon). Our daughter, Blythe, will be in pre-k at Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart Preschool. Our family enjoys anything outdoors, Cyclone football games, and spending time with friends. I look forward to making this unique school year a positive one for students, teachers, and parents!

SECRETARY
|
This is my first year on the PTO board and I’m excited to be part of this group. This is a new, and much different school year for all of us! I look forward to forming a strong connection between families and staff to make it successful. My family moved to Ankeny from Illinois in 2014. My husband Tony and I are big University of Illinois fans, even though their teams haven’t won much in recent years! My kids, however, have been heavily influenced by local friends and they think they like the Hawkeyes. My daughter Avery is in 3rd grade, and my son Zach is in Kindergarten. I am always impressed with our awesome Westwood families who volunteer their time, talents and resources to support our school and empower our kids to be leaders. As PTO Secretary, please reach out to me if there is anything I can assist with!

TREASURER
|
My family and I moved to Ankeny from South Carolina in 2016 after 6 years there. I’m married to Wes and have 2 boys: Charlie’s an 8th grader at Northview and Will’s in 5th grade at Westwood. I grew up in Oklahoma but we’ve lived in many places around the Midwest, thanks to my husband’s career with John Deere.
I’m looking for someone to be a kind of assistant Treasurer this year. Since this is my last year at Westwood (then my youngest will be off to middle school), I think it will be an easier transition for someone to learn along with me throughout the year, and then fully take the reins next year. So if you’re organized and money-minded, contact me at wwptotreasureracsd@gmail.com |
