I have been married for
8 years to my husband Jack.
I have a son Garrett who
is 7 years old and he is
going into 2nd grade. I
also have twin boys, Carter
& Brady. They are 5
years old and will be in
Kindergarten this year.
I am originally from Boston,
Massachusetts and have lived
here in Washington for 9
years. I love to camp, fish,
go to the beach and watch
my boys play sports. I became
involved with the PTA because
I wanted to be involved
with my children’s education
and also to help the other
children and teachers here
at Black Diamond Elementary.

I really enjoy helping the

My
name is Heather Invie-Notch.
I am the mom of Griffin,
in 6th grade at Thunder
Mtn Middle School, and McKenzie
in 3rd grade with Mrs. Fitzpatrick.
I am also a step mom to
Maria who is in 8th grade
at TMMS. I am married, live
in Morgan Creek and have
a one year old black lab
named Remi. I work in the
Snoqualmie for a company
that makes robots - which
is pretty cool. I love my
family, hiking, biking,
camping, living in Black
Diamond, this school, the
staff at BDE and being a
part of the PTA. My favorite
PTA activities are the Science
Fair, the Adopt-a-Road and
the Mariners games!

Hildebrand, Membership Chair |
| I
have been happily married
to the most amazing man, Chad,
for the past eight years.
We have two wonderful boys,
Cole is 7 and Kade is 4. Besides
being a mom, I also work full
time for a software company
called Continuex, we write
and support software for health
care. I’ve been with Continuex
for ten years now. My husband
and I enjoy playing soccer
on a co-ed team together,
and now we’re very excited
that we get to watch our boys
learn and enjoy the sport!
We also enjoy camping together
as a family, and taking as
many fun vacations as we can!
I joined the PTA when Cole
started Kindergarten (he’s
in 2nd grade now) because
I wanted to take an active
role in my son’s education.
I wanted to be involved in
helping to support our school
and our teachers so that all
of our kids have a better
chance at a good education.
I believe we do that because
our PTA is able to do things
like bring in the “Pacific
Science Center science day”,
and provide technology to
our classrooms (like the ELMO’s
and the books on tape machines),
and many other things, both
large and small. Being involved
with the BDE PTA has been
a great experience for me
because I believe WE DO make
a difference in the lives
of our children, and also
because I have been able to
make some good friends, as
well as get more involved
in our community. |
