Our Mission Statement

The primary purpose of our PTA is to promote the best interests of our children at school, at home, and in the community. Through advocacy, financial assistance, and volunteer time, we support our school's mission with the hope of providing our students the social, emotional, and academic skills they need to reach their potential and become valuable contributors to society.

Hi! I’m mom to two Skyhawk boys, one entering 5th grade and the other 1st grade this year. I’ve worked as a nurse for over 25 years, as a nurse practitioner for the past 15. I got involved in the Sacajawea PTA last year and met great people, got to be creative, and dove into using my computer nerdiness to help out. In addition to serving as the PTA’s Secretary this year, I make lots of flyers on Canva, put together the Skyhawk Scoop newsletter, and manage the PTA website, Facebook, and Instagram. 

Treasurer: Lacey Seaton

Hello! I am mama to two Skyhawks, one heading into fifth grade and one into third. We’ve been at Sacajawea since my oldest was in kindergarten and I love our school culture and community! Last year I was invited to join the PTA executive board as treasurer. Turns out I absolutely LOVE this role! I am so glad to be able to give so much back to the school both as treasurer and as a regular volunteer. When I’m not at school, I also am a doggy-sitter and am on the executive board of a local moms group. Say Hi when you see me around!
