Current Nominees For Thursday's (Oct 28th.) Elections:

PRESIDENT (Manage PA Affairs)

1. Sophia Henry (6th Grade Parent/2021 Alumnus Parent) - Bio: Good evening, I am running for PA President because I feel I have the rapport and experience with the PGMS community needed to get things done. I am a PGMS Legacy Parent, with a son that recently graduated from the school. Additionally, I currently have a 6th grade student that attends PGMS. This is important to know because it shows that: 1) I have experience with ALL of the PGMS teachers across all grades and have a track record or working with them to make sure that the needs of my child and others were met. 2)Currently have a student in the 6th grade of the school community. Meaning that I will not have to serve or be a member of the PA for only one year. I will be able to serve in whichever capacity for possibly 3 years. 3) I have a great relationship with the administration and I have collaborated with them multiple times over the past three years. This is important because as parents we need to have the ears of those able to assist us with making the needed changes. 4) I am currently an employee in a DOE school in District 11. This is important to know because it shows that I know the ins and outs of the system and am familiar with the local school community needs. Thank you all for your time. I want you all to know that I will proudly serve as PA President and do everything I can to make sure our voice is heard and that we can work alongside teachers to ensure the best possible outcomes for our children. Thank you, Sophia Henry

2. Stefannie Bonilla (8th Grade Parent) - Bio: I will like to be nominated to this position because I think I would be a great addition to the PGMS family team.

I appreciate the consideration and time. Have a good day.

The Elections Were A Huge Success!!!

Last night's Parent Association (Expedited) Elections were a huge success. Not only were we able to fill all mandatory positions, we were also able to fill a position that has not been held by anyone since 2015.

We would like to first thank all of the parents who attended last night's election meeting and helped to make it such a success. We could not have achieved this success without you. Next, we want to thank our Elections Chairperson Shannon Cruz and Election Note Taker Sophia Olivero. We literally could not have conducted our elections without your courage to assume your respective roles. Last but not least, we would like to congratulate the four parents who were unanimously elected to their respective positions and now form our Parent Association Executive Board. Let's please recognize:

- Sophia Henry - Parent Association President

- Steffanie Bonilla - Parent Association Treasurer

- Lashandra Francis - Parent Association Secretary

- Paris Pettaway - Parent Association Vice President

We look forward to working with these ladies and seeing what great things they have in store for the Pelham Gardens Middle School community.
