Co-Vice Presidents
Erin
Foster
I’m Erin Foster, mother of Harper Foster, who is in second grade. My husband, Spencer, Harper’s father attended this school as well as his 2 brothers, so this school is very special to our family. I’m excited to be more proactive and really get involved. I try to keep a positive outlook and I am a good team player. I believe that we can make it a really great year for our kids and staff and I am ready and willing to help facilitate this. They all deserve it, especially with the complex struggles of the past 2 years.

Lovewell
I have been a teacher at WHECES for 20 years! My three children attend our school. Henry is in third grade, Jack is in first, and Rosey is in TK. I have been on the PATT board, in the Co-VP position, for 3 years and enjoy supporting our school community in both teacher and parent roles. I love how WHECES is a school where art is integrated into the curriculum, and I appreciate the dedication our staff shows to including all members of our community. The 2023-2024 school year is going to be incredible!

Bolotina
Hello, I am a new incoming parent of three, my oldest started kindergarten this school year in Mrs. Martin’s class which she has absolutely enjoyed. I work in Real Estate as a Controller and have been in accounting/finance for over ten years. I can assist PATT in a Treasury role using my work experience and knowledge along with my enthusiasm for helping create a great school environment for our kids in any capacity I can. I have previously served as a Treasurer on an HOA Board for over 7 years, helping secure funding for major community improvements and beautification. I am excited to be part of the team and help our school community.

Palandri
Five years ago, the principal of a blue ribbon award school told me that an organization like PATT was a crucial factor in their school jumping from a six rating to being recognized with the highest award a school can achieve. Once my daughter started school, I knew I wanted to join an organization that assisted the school because I believe school plays a vital role in our children's lives. I have been a room parent for the past three years, and this year, I decided to be on the board to assist more greatly.
I have 20 years of experience in accounting and finance. I currently work as a Controller for event venue spaces and as a realtor. I am excited to bring my knowledge of finance and real estate to the PATT Board team to aid in making the school the best it can be for our kids.
Secretary
Amber Elrod
I'm Amber, and my son Brixton is in 1st grade (and I have a daughter that will hopefully be attending WHECES next year). This is our second year at WHECES, and we love being a part of this wonderful community! I was passionate about being on the board because I want to be a part of fostering an environment where our students, teachers, and families can thrive together. My kids are the most important people in my life, and I want their school to be the best place for them, so PATT is very important to me. I have over 15 years of organizational skills, coordination, and attention to detail coming from my background in fashion production and luxury development. Becoming a mom has also honed my multitasking skills, creativity, and planning. I love volunteering any way I can at WHECES and am excited about what this year will bring!
