PresidentKristi AdamsAs I start my 2nd year as PTO president, I am looking forward to a more "normal" year at Westwood. The PTO board and committee members will be working hard to bring back fun events like Trunk or Treat and family movie night. This year my husband and I will have a 4th grader and 1st grader at Westwood and our cat, Dylan, will turn 18 years old in August. Please reach out to us with any ideas you may have. The more parent involvement we have, the better PTO is for Westwood families and staff!

Co-Presidents
Abbie MartinHello! 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!

Megan PetersenI am very excited to be a part of the WW PTO for another year as co-Vice President. I am married to Mr. (Brian) Petersen who happens to teach 5th grade here at Westwood. This is his 10th year at Westwood but 15th year of teaching. We have three children, who will all be at Westwood this school year! Graham will be in 4th grade, Landon in 2nd grade, and Blythe in Kindergarten. Our family enjoys anything outdoors, Iowa State Cyclone football games, and spending time with friends. I look forward to making this school year a positive one for students, teachers, and parents!

SecretaryStephanie RichardsonThis is my first year on the PTO board, and I’m excited to be part of this passionate group. My husband and I have lived in Ankeny for almost 10 years, raising all three of our kids to be Westwood warriors. We are big Iowa State fans, except for my oldest, who has chosen to only cheer for the Hawkeyes. :) My son Cohen is in 5th grade, daughter Embry is in 3rd grade, and my youngest son Easton is only 3, but loves everything to do with Westwood. I have been impressed with all of our Westwood families over the years who continue to volunteer their time, talents and resources to support our school and empower the kids to be leaders. As PTO Secretary, please reach out to me if there is anything I can do to help!
