Another wildly successful Spring Flower Sale thanks to Heather Lovell! We sold 616 plants and raised over $3K for our school! Also a huge shout out goes to our wonderful PTO volunteers that helped with distribution on a hot Friday night!
Heather, your time, energy, and dedication during our flower sale are what made this fundraiser such a success! You always go above and beyond for our school. And we can't say THANK YOU enough! Whether you were setting up, organizing flowers, or helping behind the scenes, your contributions truly made a difference! You even use personal funds to treat our volunteers with Starbucks cards as your way of saying Thank You!
We know it was an exhausting evening, but you are so very appreciated!
This busy lady and momma of EIGHT is the Fundraising Queen!
Heather Lovell has served on the PTO Executive Board as the VP of Fundraising for 3 years, and was the Recording Secretary before that. She has a heart of gold, and has spent countless hours giving back to our school. She is literally a one woman show and we cannot thank Heather enough for her incredible dedication to Thomas!
Thanks to Heather's efforts we have raised over $50K to benefit our school. Her time, energy, and fundraising efforts have made such a meaningful impact at Thomas and EVERY student has benefited! We are truly grateful.
In Fall of 2025, Heather will be stepping down as the VP of Fundraising, but promises to continue to stay involved with PTO in her final year with a kiddo in elementary school. She leaves VERY big shoes to fill! If you or someone you know is interested in getting involved in the PTO please reach out!
Thank you Janelle Collins for your time, dedication, and heart in serving on the PTO on the Executive Board for the past 5 YEARS!!! 2 years spent in the Treasurer role, and for the past 3 years Janelle has served as Co-President! Your hard work has made a real difference in our school community, and we are so grateful for everything you've done—whether helping to organize events, supporting staff and students, or simply showing up with a smile.
In the '25-'26 school year, Janelle will be stepping down from her roles on the Executive Board. Lucky for us Janelle will still be a parent / volunteer at Thomas Elementary and she has even agreed to chair the Fall & Spring Flower sales! We truly appreciate you!
Jamie Neely, our fabulous VP of Socials is definetely the magic maker at Thomas Elementary! She is the reason we have events like Trunk or Treat and Family Fun Night! She has served on the Executive Board at Thomas since 2019, and during these years Jamie has given back to our Thomas community in countless ways! In the '25-'26 school year, Jamie will be stepping down from her role on the Exec. Board. She leaves some very big shoes to fill, but lucky for us Jamie will still be at Thomas in the front office, and as a parent/volunteer!
The PTO cannot thank Jamie enough for her passion and committment to our school! We are so grateful for the time she has given, for her organization skills and for her excellent party planning abilities!
Thank you to Dana Marie Norrod for organizing Parent / Teacher Conference Night Dinners in February! These are very long days for our teachers & staff so spoiling them is something the PTO loves to do! Thank you Dana for making this happen!
On February 20th staff enjoyed smoothies and a wrap / salad from Tropical Smoothie Cafe and on February 26th they were treated to a meal from Chick-fil-A!
Another shout out to this amazing group of volunteers for donating their time to assemble ALL of the Winter Party Boxes!
And Julie Kinzel, yet again knocked it out of the park with her detailed planning and preparation for the Winter Parties for ALL classes at Thomas. The students enjoy these special experiences so much, and we have Julie to thank for making it possible!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Heather Lovell for coordinating every last detail of our Fall Mum Sale! This is a wonderful chance for our families to purchase mums knowing proceeds from the sale directly support Thomas. The pick-up was seamlessly organized and we can't thank you enough for ALL of your efforts!
Our newest volunteer spotlight goes to Julie Kinzel. She has been interested in re-vamping and bringing back a more organized, equitable and FUN way to celebrate with class parties at Thomas. Julie researched, planned, organized, purchased (spending many, many hours!) and with the help of other committed volunteers to assemble, made the Party-in-a-Box happen! Each teacher received a box with all the supplies and instructions needed to play games, facilitate crafts, and have a snack on Harvest Party Day. Julie, thank you for being so kind, organized, caring, and committed to the students and families at Thomas! We appreciate you 😊
"Super Mario" did it again! Our fabulous VP of Socials, Jamie Neely planned our 3rd Annual Trunk of Treat. It was an amazing night at Thomas; and one that would not have been possible without YOU!
Countless hours were spent planning. Jamie made improvements based on feedback, collected prizes, solicited donations, booked food trucks and the DJ. Every last detail was considered and excuted! Your efforts are so very appreciated!
Our Thomas Elementary family, and especially our Outdoor Classroom committee, have been working on our “passion project” of an outdoor classroom for years. Lots of $$$$ raised, lots of delays and set-backs AND lots of love have been put into this Outdoor Classroom.
PLANTING DAY was a magical day. Our Thomas Community came together to sweat, work, and dance our way to a beautiful Outdoor Classroom.
NOW it’s ready for some inspiring Outdoor Learning.
THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS!
Katie Hess, Diana Ivette Munoz, Rachel D.K. Finney, Trinh Robb, Amanda Rowoldt, Lynn Null, Sandy Kao, Allison Ollanketo, and Stephanie Anders.
A BIG Thank You goes to the 5th Grade Planning Committee for all the hard work and planning! We were a small but mighty team and together we created a memorable 5th Grade Celebration. Thank you to Kristen Fazzio, Jamie Neely, Dallas West, Kathryn Unger, Ashley Morrow, Sara Rumph and Kari Curtis for everything!

Thomas School Store Shout Out!
Thomas School Store Shout Out!
The students and staff are very thankful for the volunteer efforts of Ms. Kim and Ms. Angel, as they took several hours every Friday out of their busy schedules this year to open the Thomas School Store to our Tigers. From ordering the coolest items, to inventorying and stocking the shelves, to supporting students in purchasing, these wonderful volunteers invested a tremendous amount of time to support some extra fun in our community. WE APPRECIATE YOU, Ms. Kim and Ms. Angel! Thank you!
A HUGE thank you goes to Heather Lovell and the Lovell family for showing up for our school in a BIG way!!! The Spring Flower Sale was a success thanks to you and your efforts! Parents are appreciating that the pick-up was so well organized, and the flowers were beautiful!
The PTO is nominating our amazing Beautification Committee for their amazing work keeping our school planters looking their best for every season! Thank you for ALL of your efforts Joanna Leitch & Jenn Hogan!
PTO wouldn't be what it is without Kristen Fazzio!
Not only does Kristen love to volunteer in school, but she spends MANY, many hours behind the scenes as our Communications Secretary. Kristen is super talented and makes all of the creative PTO Facebook posts, flyers, newsletters, and emails you receive. She has majorly updated the PTO website this year and continues to amaze us with her commitment, generosity, & selflessness.
THANK YOU!
I would like to nominate Diana Munoz. She is so much fun, and really down to earth with the kids. Even helping out in other classrooms that needed extra volunteers. Here is a picture of her at one of the events. Literally getting kids involved hands-on… Such a great person to have a part of the school! Her excitement and enthusiasm is contagious!
A HUGE Thank You goes to this girl!
