FR Primary PTO Board 2024-2025

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 (3rd grade) and Jonas (1st grade). 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 four 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!

 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 2024-2025 school year! My husband, Dan, and I have 3 children: Michael (5th grade), Charlotte (2nd grade) and Jack (1st grade). Our kids are all involved in various sports and activities including soccer, cheer 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 FR Families! My name is Megan Wimer and I am serving as Co-Vice President at the Primary School. My Husband George and I have lived in Murrysville for over 5 years now with our 2 children, Violet and Mac.  Violet is in 1st grade at the primary school and Mac is 2 years old. This past year I chaired 6 committees for the PTO and have volunteered for numerous events at the school. I am looking forward to being even more involved this year! In addition to the PTO I coach the Flag Cheerleading squad for FAMFA and serve on the children's ministry team at our church. I have had the opportunity to meet and work with so many awesome parents over the last year and am really looking forward to continuing to build relationships.  I am very excited for next year and hope to help create wonderful memories for our students and staff! 

 Hello FR families! My name is Jen Poole, and I am excited to serve as Co-Treasurer for the Elementary PTO for the 2024-2025 school year. My husband, Eric, and I have two children. My oldest, Logan (3rd Grade), loves geography, learning about animals and insects, reading and swinging. My youngest, Lauren (2nd Grade), loves playing with friends, dancing, dresses and anything pink. Prior to having children, I obtained a PhD in Medicinal Chemistry and I currently work for Teledyne FLIR as a Principal Scientist and Project Manager in the development of chemical sensors and personal protective equipment.

 My name is Sheri Wikert and I am looking forward to being Co-Treasurer for the 2024-25 school year! I live in Murrysville with my husband, Adam, and our two boys (Conor is a First Grader and Leo is a Kindergartener). We also have a sweet beagle named Lucy! We love to spend our time outdoors and enjoy hiking, watersports and baseball. We also love family game nights and spending time with our friends, family and neighbors. I have enjoyed getting involved with the PTO this last year! In the 2023-24 school year, I served as Co-Chair for the Major Fundraiser and Spring Book Fair, was the HRC for my son's classroom and also volunteered my time at other events throughout the year. Prior to my children being born, I worked in Events Management for the Chamber of Commerce in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I am excited for all that is to come while working with families, staff and the PTO Board next year! 

 Hi families, I'm excited for my first year as part of the Primary PTO Board! After growing up in this area, I moved to Northern Virginia following college where I started my ongoing career with the US Census Bureau, met my husband Kevin, and had our daughter Molly (2nd grade). When it came time to think about Molly's future and education, I knew we had to return to this area, and specifically Franklin Regional! As a family, we enjoy visiting loved ones near and far, going to the beach every summer and just spending time together making memories. I've volunteered at various PTO events over the last two years with Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week and Primary Move and Groove being just a few of my favorites. I'm excited for the opportunity to grow within the PTO in this role and learn from the experience of my fellow board members. I'm looking forward to getting to meet more of our school community, and participate in all of the fun events and activities this school year! 

I am looking forward to serving as Co-Secretary of the Primary PTO Board for 2024-2025. I've been married to Jon for 15 years and we have a daughter, Addie, who is in 2nd 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!
