MEET THE PTA BOARD
Why do I PTA?
Sara Steele
President
I love being on campus and interacting with the teachers, staff and students. It brings me so much joy to have a part in our children's lives at this young age! I PTA so I can be involved in the neighborhood and community I love. My goal is to bring families together to advocate and celebrate our students and staff. I’m excited for a fun year at Lowell Elementary!
Cori Iverson
Vice-President
I PTA to be a part of the community where my kids go to school and contribute to what makes Lowell great. I want to give back where I can, be involved in decisions made, and help others feel a sense of belonging. It is important to me to advocate for the needs of all students and empower others to have a voice within our school community as well. I want to continue to promote the special qualities that make Lowell an amazing school for not only my kids, but future generations to come.
Tara Litt
Secretary
I PTA to make a positive contribution to the Lowell School community. I want to help the Lowell community continue to thrive and be an amazing place for all students and their families.
I also PTA to set a good example for my kids and because I enjoy volunteering my time!
January Mallinger
Treasurer
I PTA because I love our Lowell community and believe we can make what is great even better. I want to create opportunities for connection that will allow our students to thrive in a fun and supportive environment. I enjoy being immersed in our school community and seeing students faces light up when they recognize me and know I’m there for them.
Matt Glicken
Financial Secretary
I PTA to (hopefully) make positive contributions to our school and community, to set a good example for my children (my daughter questioned if I was embarrassed to be the only man!), and obviously, to improve the PTA’s DEI score (see my daughter’s comment).
