Our Executive Board 2023-2024

 Michelle Vea, President

Michelle and her husband Eric, along with their two girls Jemma and Sadie are relatively new to the country. They moved to Bothell from Canada in the summer of 2018. Their family has always been serious Seahawks fans so it was an easy choice. GO HAWKS!! It didn't take Michelle long to climb the PTA tree (so to speak), as soon as Jemma entered Kindergarten Michelle joined the PTA and took on the role of membership. Only one year later, jumped into the Vice President role and following president. Michelle loves to volunteer at the school and is happiest when she is at the school being hands on with the children and families. Sadie is in first grade so Michelle has lots of years of PTA'ing ahead of her.
