She and her family like to spend their free time at Legoland, the zoo, camping, museums, the library and swimming. This will be Lauren's second year serving as Vice-President. She is still unsure what the Vice-President does, however she had an amazing first year doing it! Lauren loves being with the kids whenever she can and fortunately is able to be more hands-on during school hours since much of her work is on the weekend. You might see her running in and out with spirit wear, decorations, fundraising prizes, or popsicles. This is Lauren in her natural state. Even if she looks busy, she still wants to help you out. Don't be afraid to say "hi" if you see her in the wild.

Kristin Woodburn is originally from Arizona, and spent 10 amazing years living in New York, NY before moving to San Diego 15 years ago. For the past 7 years, she has been a Serra Mesa resident. Kristin is a marketing leader in the tech industry, working remotely for a large global brand. She is a proud mama to Wyatt (2nd), and in their free time they enjoy anything sports related (Go Padres!), adventuring outside, Legoland, the zoo, movies, and reading. This is also Kristin's 2nd year in her role as Treasurer and are we ever thankful for that! She has brought us into this new Golden Age of Technology with actual accounting software and up-to-date education and advancement in her role. She has kindly kept our finances accurate and prompt (no matter how chaotic) and has supported us in person at every event. When Kristin finishes her role as treasurer, she will be leaving a neatly wrapped financial package for the next person.

Long Nguyen is a Serra Mesa native and former student at Cubberley. He and his wife Lisa are parents to Jayne (4th) and Charlie (3rd). Long is a media director at an education agency and runs a media/design company along with Lisa. Long enjoys golfing and bowling. His family likes spending their weekends at the Zoo, Legoland, and all the parks San Diego has to offer. Long is also embracing a second year in his role and it's a good thing because every PTA needs a Long. He shows up like magic right when you need him most. He has filled in gaps in finances, event support, tech, and meeting logistics. He keeps tabs on our goings on even when we don't expect it, and sometimes the guy has some pretty genius ideas.

We promise the math isn't as bad as it sounds! We will help new chairpersons become acquainted with this position (which is only needed twice a year).

If you are already coming to our events and have an eye for capturing memories, this could be an easy fit for you. Snap some photos throughout the year and assist in compiling the yearbook in Spring. We will help get you started and support you in all processes.

The PTA Parliamentarian is responsible for managing bylaws, interpreting rules, and organizing nominating committees. Yup. We don't know either, but we can figure it out together! Pretty sure you just attend meetings and a few other bits.

We can assign you a position as Chairperson or Chairperson-In-Training to just about any committee that covers an event or area of need. For instance, we could use both a Chairperson for Trunk or Treat and for Communications. One would be for a one time event, the other would be little ongoing things like creating newsletters or social media posts. Maybe you split that job with someone as co-chairs. Let's talk!
