Canyon Creek PTA has a long tradition of amazing volunteerism and community leadership. With such dedication from our volunteers, it is possible to fulfill our PTA mission: We serve our school and community by supporting a positive and inclusive learning environment. Thank you to all of our volunteers!

Much gratitude to the 2019-2020 PTA Board: Melanie Mckenzie (President), Nicole Trimble (VP Communications), Bethany Jager (VP Programs), Emily Cross (Secretary), Barby Taheri (Treasurer), Mumtaz Zimbalist (Treasurer), Jennifer Snyder (Membership), Jennifer Spataro (Advocacy) and Alyssa Koske (President elect). We had many successes and some challenges this year and everything was handled with integrity and grace. Best wishes for our board members who are moving on to other schools or other positions. You will be missed.

Our PTA is indebted to our committee chairs. Han Wexler (After School Programs and Book Room Coordinator), Courtney Carr, Elesha Ostrander and Karen DeMercer (Art Docent Chairs), Phuong Nguyen (Directory), Robin Zaback (Emergency Preparedness Chair and Reflections), Jodie McClure and Nicole Trimble (Glow Dance), Courtney Pansini (Fall Food Drive and Environmental Chair), Misty Carter (Partnerships), Jenny Herbison (Box Tops), Bethany Jager and Emily Cross (Game Night), Megan King (Social Media, Skate Party and Library Brigade), Megan Madsen, Nancy Tangen and Courtney Carr (Popcorn Friday), Nancy Tangen and Mariel Villa (Reader Board), Casey Dwyer and Alyssa Koske (Running Club), Navdeep Bawa and Melanie McKenzie (Multicultural Night), Melanie Mckenzie (Spelling Bee), Abhishek Mehta (STEM), Daisy Tan (Math Challenge), Dawn Draheim (Spirit Wear), Alyssa Koske and Stephanie Dunning (Staff Appreciation), Patty Buchanan (Summer Fun Play Dates), Michael Richards (Watch D.O.G.S.), and Nicole Trimble (Newsletter and Website). Your selfless effort does not go unnoticed and we are so appreciative of you.

Lastly, we are so thankful of all our “silent” volunteers. We have SO many volunteers that sign up and step up to help set up our events, help during events, and clean up our events. We also need to thank all who have donated to our staff appreciation events, Helping Hands program and Fall Food Drive.

In closing, we leave you with this quote: “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller. 

Much gratitude and appreciation to YOU!!!!
