The Volunteer of the Month is......

 

November: jennifer allison

 

Our November Volunteer of the Month is Jennifer Allison!
 

Drumroll, please! It's time to introduce our November Volunteer of the Month: the amazing PTA Prezzy, Jennifer Allison!

Jennifer has been a superstar volunteer at Beverly since her oldest was a Kindergartner. She's been in a bunch of roles, from school supply coordinator to VP of Communications and VP of Programs, and even part of the the yearbook crew! She’s helped mastermind fun events at Beverly like last year's Obstacle Course and this year's trunk or treat. And guess what? This year, she took on the role of PTA President! Her plate is always full, but she's always willing to make room if it means helping out our Beverly community!

If you’ve ever wondered what Superwoman looks like, just picture Jennifer! Juggling all her Beverly responsibilities, she still finds time to be a den leader for her youngest cub, is team manager for her oldest’s soccer team, holds down a full-time job, while also being a wife and mom. The list just keeps going! Beverly sure is lucky to have Jennifer, and we can’t thank her enough for all the amazing things she does!


 

 

 

 Past Volunteers of the Month

 

october: elena prudencio

 

Our October Volunteer of the Month is Elena Prudencio!
 
🌟We are excited to announce that our October Volunteer of the Month is our amazing VP of Communication, Elena Prudencio!🌟
 
Elena is normally in the background of the PTA and school helping with the E-news and social media and always makes sure that everyone knows what is going on in the school! Elena also volunteers to help the other PTA positions any time she is asked and can always make everything beautiful! Elena also helps with class coordinating for the different grades and helps make sure that everyone has the information they need! Thank you so much for everything you do, Beverly is truly grateful to have you here! 🫶

 

 

 

september: Mary Hutchison

 

Our September Volunteer of the Month is Mary Hutchison!
 

If you've spotted her around the school, she's likely been generously dedicating her time to support teachers, parents and students at Beverly. Last year, Mary served as our VP of Volunteers, and was the one in charge of selecting our volunteers of the month and never picked herself, regardless of how much she deserved the recognition. As VP of Volunteers, Mary revived programs that allowed parents to volunteer in different capacities. Mary not only devoted hours to helping Beverly's teachers but also contributed her time to ensure the smooth running of school programs and events by either volunteering herself or making sure we had enough support. This year, she has taken on the position of VP of Membership, but her responsibilities don’t end there. She is also assisting our PTA President with various tasks to make sure this school year runs seamlessly. Thank you, Mary, for everything that you do for our school, teachers, and Bobcats. We are truly lucky to have you!

december / january:  ivana brata

We’re a bit behind, but we can’t let December pass by without recognizing our December/January Volunteer of the Month Ivana Brata!
What doesn’t she do?! She’s usually serving quietly behind the scenes, but here’s a little snapshot:
✅ Writes, formats and publishes our weekly ENews
📷 Is the photographer and a coordinator for our yearbook
💻 Helps with all of our social media communication
🎨 Uses her graphic design background to design our logos, flyers, spirit wear and those amazing 5th grade class shirts.

November:  terri hamilton, carla jesse and elena prudencio

It’s hard to believe it’s already November, and that means it’s time for a new Volunteer of the Month! 🎉
It was impossible to choose only one person this month because our Dream Team of Terri Hamilton, our Fall Fundraiser chair, Carla Jessee, our VP of Ways and Means, and Elena Prudencio, our fundraiser committee member.
All 3 of these women work full time, are moms, and wear so many other hats. Their commitment to PTA is inspiring, and they knocked our PTA Fall Fundraiser out of the park and far exceeded our goals.
We are SO thankful for Terri, Carla and Elena for all of their hard work!

 

October:  ashley phillips

We’re excited to kick off this month announcing October’s Volunteer of the Month, Ashley Phillips! 🎉
Ashley took care of all our spirit wear last year, and this year she’s been our Hospitality Chair in charge of food and treats for teachers and other events. Additionally, Ashley is always one of the first to jump in and volunteer whenever a need arises! 🥰
This announcement is bittersweet because Ashley just resigned from her PTA board position this week. However, we love her reason for resigning…to become a special education teaching assistant at Beverly! 🐾 💙💛
Ashley will be missed on the board, but we are thrilled for her new opportunity and know she’ll still be around helping out…it’s just her nature.
 

September:  carolle quillicy

We’d love to tell you about our September Volunteer of the Month… Carolle Quillicy!! 🎉

Carolle has a son in 4th grade at Beverly and an adorable one year old at home. She’s also a fitness instructor. 💪🏼 We don’t know how she balances it all, but if you see her around, be sure to thank her! ❤️

 

august:  jennifer gurley allison

Let us tell you about a real, live Superhero and our Volunteer of the Month Jennifer Gurley Allison. She’s a mom, wife, works outside the home and is the Beverly PTA’s VP of Communication AND manages all of our school supply order, fulfillment and delivery. 😅
This is Jennifer’s second year in these positions, and we could not be more grateful for her hard work. She manages the PTA website and print communication and oversees all digital communication and the yearbook.
She’s usually the one behind the scenes here on Facebook, but we snuck in to sing her praises because she’d never do it herself. Jennifer stays out of the spotlight, but she is always the first to volunteer to assist everyone on the PTA Board.
