The hard-working parents behind our school.

My husband Sean and I have been married for 13 years and have five kids — Reese is a 3rd grader at CRES, Will is a 6th grader at WMS, and then we have Cameron, his wife Sydney, Cole, and Caitlin who all graduated from Carmel.

I enjoy exercising when I can — walking, pilates, weights, whatever fits into the schedule.

Hands down all of the new friends I've made! Plus I love being connected to the school and getting to know the staff.

The Winter Carnival for sure! I love seeing the kids in their element, surrounded by classmates and teachers having so much fun together.

My husband Blake and I have been married for 10 years. He is in commercial real estate and I work for an airport operator. We have two sons, Finley (8) and Maxwell (7), a Springerdoodle named Nola Mae, and a Siamese cat named Henry.

I have two sport horses and train and compete in Dressage and Jumping.

I love all of the new friends. We are all different moms who support each other, have fun together, and care about the school. My boys also love that "Mama helps the school" and seeing that pride in them is incredible.

I really enjoy bringing the parents together for Cheers to CRES for the great cause of supporting our teachers and allowing us to provide the educational enhancements that make our school so great.

My husband Andy and I have been married for 14 years. We have three girls — Katelyn (6th grade at WMS), Soren (3rd grade), Isla (1st grade) — and a new puppy named Ivy.

Going to concerts with friends!

Making new friends. I've met so many people I may not have otherwise met — it's a fun group! I've also enjoyed getting to know the staff better.

My favorite PTO event is the Winter Carnival. The kids get so excited to run around the school with their friends and see their teachers.

I've been married to my husband Jon for 15 years. We have two sons, Tucker (2nd grade) and Graham (preschool), and a cat named Biscuit.

I recently started playing tennis again and love it! I hadn't really played since high school, but it's good to be back.

Joining the PTO helped me feel more at home in Westfield. I've made great friends, am able to stay connected to what's happening at Carey Ridge, and can support the school where needed.

I love the class parties at Carey Ridge. The PTO and Room Parents plan the parties for Fall, Winter, and Valentine's Day, and all parents are welcome to attend with their kiddos. It's fun to see your child in their element with their friends and teacher.

My husband Mike and I went to high school together at Carmel. After we got married, we lived out east for several years before heading back to the midwest when we started our family. We have a daughter, Audrey, at Westfield Middle School. Our son, Will, is a 4th grader at Carey Ridge. We also have another son, Alex, who is seven months old. We love calling Westfield home!

I love watching sports and cheering on our favorite teams — the Indiana Pacers, Colts, and Purdue Boilermakers. I also love cheering on my kids at their sports each week!

My favorite part has definitely been making new friendships. The people I've met are so fun!

The Winter Carnival is one of my favorite events of the year! It's so fun to see all the kids playing games around the school with their friends. My kids love seeing their teachers outside of the school day. A great community night for everyone!

My husband Ian and I have been married for 16 years. We have three kids — Emersyn (8th grade at WMS), Rowyn (4th grade), and Piercen (2nd grade).

I love sports, live music, and anything outdoors.

Making new friends, getting to know so many parents, and being in the school to see my kids.

My favorite PTO event is the Winter Carnival. I love seeing all the families come together for a night of fun.

Scott and I have been married for 11 years and our daughter Sienna is starting 3rd grade.

I love playing sand volleyball.

I love being in the school and meeting all the wonderful staff and feeling more connected to our school community. The PTO is also full of amazing people who care so much about our children and staff at CRES.

Staff Appreciation Week — so much fun celebrating the amazing staff we have at CRES!
