FR Primary PTO Board 2023-2024

My name is Amber Trout and I'm excited to be a part of the FR Primary PTO Board. My husband, Greg, and I have two children, Sylvia (2nd grade) and Jonas (Kindergarten). Both of my children love playing soccer, going on play dates with friends, and spending time outside. As a family, we enjoy trips to the zoo, going to Idlewild, visiting family, and spending time at the pool. Prior to having children, I supervised a team of therapists and worked in the mental health field for 11 years. I currently serve on the Board for Murrysville Area Soccer Association and volunteered for numerous PTO events over the past two years, such as After School Programs, Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week, Bus Driver Appreciation Day, Turkey Cup, Homeroom Coordinator, and more. I'm very thankful to have met so many dedicated individuals and families who helped make those school years fun and successful for everyone. Being a part of the PTO has been a very rewarding activity and I look forward to many more exciting events this upcoming school year!

I am so excited for my first year on the PTO Board! My husband, Dave, and I have two children. Henry starts fourth grade and Sophie starts first grade in Fall 2023. They are both involved in many activities in the community including dance, baseball, basketball, softball, karate, swim, and girl scouts. I have been involved with PTO activities since Henry was in kindergarten and have been looking for an opportunity to be more involved in their schools; and, I think the PTO Board is a perfect next step. Currently, I work at Franklin Regional Middle School as a Building Substitute and hope to continue doing so for the foreseeable future, as I have missed being in the classroom over the last few years. I am very excited about volunteering for more PTO events, getting to know more families in the community, and creating a positive experience for the students and families of our schools. 

 Hello FR Primary families! My name is Alexis Green and I’m excited to serve as Co-Vice President for the FR Primary PTO for the 2023-2024 school year! My husband, Dan, and I have 3 children: Michael (4th grade), Charlotte (1st grade) and Jack (Kindergarten). Our kids are all involved in various sports and activities including soccer, gymnastics and swimming. As a family we love traveling to visit family, day trips to Kennywood and Idlewild, and being together making memories. I have loved volunteering for various PTO and school functions this past year such as book fairs, Homeroom Coordinator, Turkey Cup, Parent/Teacher Conferences, Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week and more. Throughout the year I also substitute teach in the Primary and Intermediate schools. I am very grateful to have met and worked with so many wonderful volunteers, parents and staff that make our school community so amazing! I look forward to this next school year and meeting more of you during various events and activities!

 Hello, I’m Natalie Lang. I’m eager to meet more FR families and have an amazing school year as Co-Treasurer. My husband, Bobby, and I have three kids. Robert is our third grader and our twins, Casey and Cora, are in first grade. We are a family of sports nuts so you can usually find us at the field or dek, avidly cheering. We also enjoy hiking, camping and just being together! In the 2022-2023 school year, I served as Co-Chair of the Major Fundraiser, Spirit Sales and Clothing Sales Committees. I look forward to many more successful events with this group of dedicated PTO members. 

I have 3 boys with my husband, Scotty. My oldest is Oliver (upcoming 2nd grader) who loves Pokémon, Minecraft, dinosaurs, soccer, and baseball. Our 2 younger sons are Sebastian (3.5) and Archer (2). Both also share a love of dinosaurs and soccer. I am a working mom, currently as a Corporate Technical Recruiter for Net Health. For the last 4 seasons, I have been a MASA soccer coach. Over the last 2 years, I've volunteered for multiple PTO events and am super excited to be more involved in the 2023/2024 school year!

I am looking forward to serving as Co-Secretary of the Primary PTO Board for 2023-2024. I've been married to Jon for 14 years and we have a daughter, Addie, who will be in first grade. We love visiting our family out-of-state, all things Disney, Big Ten Football (I'm a die-hard Buckeye, married to a Wolverine!), and spending time on the Great Lakes. I teach at one of the Murrysville preschools, work part-time in sales, and am active in our church. I'm so excited to work with this wonderful team of parents to support our students and teachers!
