I have been married for 9
years to my husband Jack.
I have a son Garrett who is
8 years old and he is going
into 3rd grade. I also have
twin boys, Carter & Brady.
They are 6 years old and will
be in 1st Grade this year.
I am originally from Boston,
Massachusetts and have lived
here in Washington for 10
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.

helping the children, and

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 8 and Kade is 5. 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 3rd 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.
