LCSD Central Quadrant PTO President:
Mrs. Jamie Lawless

I am excited to start this Quadrant adventure as the Quadrant PTO President! I have a 2nd Grader at Elmcrest Elementary and a 3rd Grader at Morgan Road Elementary. We enjoy spending time with family and friends, hanging out with our two dogs, and camping. Our goal is to visit all of the New York State Parks. I work for National Grid as a Senior Construction Planner for Upstate New York. We have lived in Liverpool for 11 years, and are very lucky to have an awesome neighborhood community. I am grateful to be a part of the changes that we are all embarking on this year as we see Education 2020 come to life!

I volunteer because it gives me the opportunity to combine my life experiences and energy with others, while bringing people together to enhance the experiences for our children. I enjoy knowing that what we do as an organization is giving back to our kiddos. I am lucky to be a part of this Liverpool Community.

EE PTO Vice President:
Mrs. Caitlin Devendorf

Originally from Rochester, I've been a resident of Liverpool for 6 years. My husband Erich is an Elmcrest alum and 2001 graduate of Liverpool High School. We have daughters in 3rd and 5th grades at Morgan Road Elementary, a daughter in kindergarten at Elmcrest and a three year old son. I am formerly an art teacher at Victor Senior High and currently work from home selling my artwork. I enjoy time at our family camp in the Adirondacks, skiing, making things from cut paper and hosting get-togethers for our amazing neighborhood in Irongate.

I was intimidated to get involved with EE PTO but am so glad I did! I became more involved over the past two years with helping revamp the school’s gardens. I volunteer because I enjoy getting people together in ways that benefit the community. PTO combines my past job experience of event planning with my artistic skills to create meaningful and memorable experiences for our EE family. Please contact me with any questions, concerns, ideas and input to help build Elmcrest's PTO.

EE PTO Secretary:
Mrs. Kelly White

My husband Justin and I have lived in Bayberry for almost 11 years. This year we'll have a kindergartener and a second grader at Elmcrest as well as a fourth grader at Morgan Road. As a family we love baking, bike riding, hiking and playing games. I’ve been home for my kids for several years and will be heading back to work this fall as a 7 - 12 math teacher at a nearby district.

Last year was my first year being involved with PTO and I really loved knowing what was going on at school and helping to plan some events, even if I couldn't attend them with my schedule.

We believe in the power of school as a community center and pillar. We value our students, our staff and faculty, and our families and are intentional in our support of Elmcrest Elementary.

Get Involved

Event Volunteers

We are nothing without our volunteers. There are a million ways to help! Event volunteers are people who would like to donate an hour or two of their time on occasion. You show up at an allotted time for a specific task or duty to help an event run smoothly. Event volunteers give what they can when they can. It’s a great way for a busy family to stay engaged with your school community without overcommitting yourself!

Committees

Some of our larger events (Trunk or Treat, Craft Fair, Multicultural Night, Walk-a-thon, Garden beautification projects, etc.) run on committees. A volunteer for a committee helps plan and organize the event and coordinate volunteers. Committees require a slightly larger time commitment than event volunteering and oftentimes require between 5-10 hours of time over the course of the event planning and execution process. Committees are a great way to showcase your strengths and passions and meet new people.

Fundraising

Fundraising is an integral part of the work we do as a PTO so that we can provide great experiences for our students and families. Many fundraisers need volunteers on the back end to help plan, organize, order, collect and distribute. Fundraising volunteers often complete the “legwork” from home
