Hey Comets! I’m so excited to be serving on the SCES PTA Board for the second year as your VP of Fundraising! We have so many fun activities and fundraisers coming your way and I’m thrilled for another exciting year! I was born and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida and graduated from Florida State University in Tallahassee- Go NOLES! My husband of 11 years this year, David, and I moved to Cumming 7 years ago from Houston, Texas to live in the same area as our family and we absolutely love it here! This year our sons Hudson (3rd) and Reid (Kindergarten) are both here at Silver City and our daughter, Madelyn (3) is in preschool. We love taking our family on mini trips to visit friends & family in Florida, our Cub Scout Pack, attending Browns Bridge Church, camping and exploring everything in our gorgeous state. I can’t wait to lead the way in raising funds for our amazing school again this year and I’m looking forward to meeting everyone. GO COMETS!
Hey friends! I am super excited to serve as your President for the upcoming school year! I can’t wait to jump back in and help make this year one to remember.
My husband, Chris, and I were born and raised right here in Georgia and run our own e-commerce small business from our home! We moved to Cumming from Gwinnett just 3 short years ago and have loved every minute of living in Forsyth. We have three children and are foster parents to an incredible teen. Our littlest, Lily, is starting 1st grade this year, our boys, Everest and Landon, will be in 3rd and 6th here at SCES & NFMS and our bonus daughter will be a freshman in college. We love doing any and all things outdoors, playing baseball, attending Browns Bridge and being involved in the community as much as possible!
I look forward to getting to know each of you over the next year and am here to help if you have any questions at all!
GO COMETS!

Hi Friends! I am so excited to serve as your VP of School Relations for a second year! Last year was so much fun and so rewarding. Getting to know our wonderful staff at SCES was the icing on the cake and I can’t wait for another great year!
My husband Jake and I moved to Georgia from Michigan in December 2019. We could not have picked a better place to call home! We’ve been blessed with three kiddos, my oldest son Luke will be in 3rd grade this year and my daughter Lila will be in 1st. My youngest daughter Lucy will be in Pre-K! If we’re not at the baseball fields, you can find us at the pool or planning our next vacation!
I’m looking forward to another great year on the board and can’t wait to get to know all the new staff and families at SCES! If anyone ever has any questions about volunteer opportunities for the PTA, don’t hesitate to ask! Go Comets!!

I’m so excited to start my second year on the Silver City PTA. This year I am the secretary of the PTA. My family and I are originally from Omaha, Nebraska and we moved to Georgia in 2020. My husband Chris and our daughter Lexi (she’ll be in 3rd grade this year) have come to LOVE North Georgia and enjoy exploring all that the state has to offer. I work at the University of North Georgia in Career Services, helping connect employers with students for internships and jobs after graduation.
I look forward to seeing you at all of our amazing events! Make sure to follow us on Facebook so you're first to know what we have coming up for your family! Also, we would be so appreciative to any parents/grandparents who would be willing to volunteer to help prepare, set up and/or run the PTA events. We can't do it without you, the volunteers!
Hey comet families! I’m a wife, mom, step mom, dog mom, and cat mom to five amazing kids, two sweet kitties, and one wild puppy! This year we will have a 6th grader, 5th grader, 2nd grader, and twin two year olds in the house! I have lived in North Forsyth since I was in 5th grade and couldn’t think of a better school district for my kids! We love being Comets! This will be my first year on the PTA team and I can’t wait to start putting together our exciting school events for students, families, and staff! Please stop me in the hallways and say hello! I’d love to meet your sweet family!

I have been a part of SCES PTA since my son Dallas started Kindergarten in 2021. I’m a full-time working mom and wife (husband’s name is Larry). I enjoy reading, volunteering my time to help others, traveling and spending time with my family.
Joining my sons' PTA has always been a goal of mine. The PTA provides an opportunity to meet other parents, get to know the teachers and administrators at SCES and I feel like I am a member of the community.
Hello, Comets! I am so glad to be returning to the SCES PTA this year as your Communications Chair. I hope to meet you throughout this year during our events. My family has been in Georgia for just over two years and we couldn’t be happier! We love to travel, eat good food, camp and enjoy the beauty that is Georgia. My Comet will be in 3rd grade this year. I have a student at EFHS, as well. I look forward to serving our school community this year. Go Comets!
