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!

I believe the PTA is the avenue to influence positive change within our school community.
-
I wish to collaborate with fellow parents, teachers and administrators to ensure all students are provided dynamic learning opportunities.

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).
