Leatham,
President
Hi!
I'm Jen Leatham. My husband,
Chad, and I have been married
13 years. Our daughter, Grace,
is in Mr. Kurtz's 3rd Grade
Class this year. In 1999,
we bought our little home
here in town that was built
in 1906. We are so blessed
to be part of a small, but
amazing school community where
I know everyday when I drop
Grace off she is as loved
and cared for at school as
she is at home. I am looking
forward to a great year in
the PTA building relationships
and helping create a safe
place for our children and
families to come everyday!
You can reach me at my email
at jen.leatham.pta@msn.com
or my cell phone number is
253-632-6545.
Peace
and Joy! - Jen

Hildebrand,
Treasurer

Hello!
My name is Karrie Hildebrand,
and I am proud to be this
year’s PTA Treasurer. I am
happily married to my husband,
Chad, for the past 10 years.
We have three wonderful boys,
and our fourth child is due
in March! Our oldest, Cole,
is 9 and is in 4th grade this
year. Our second son, Kade,
is 6 and in 1st grade. Carson,
our third son, was just born
in April! We’re hoping this
fourth (and final!) baby will
be a little girl, but if we
have another boy we’ll still
love him just as much as the
others! Our family loves to
spend as much time together
as possible. We like to travel
to wonderful places like Maui
and Mexico, as well as go
camping all over the beautiful
state of Washington. And our
family is heavily involved
in sports. Chad and I both
play soccer (I’m also a Commissioner
for Washington State Women’s
Soccer Assn.), our older boys
play baseball, soccer, basketball,
and Cole is even trying football
this year! I’m also a small
business owner of a software
company that writes and supports
clinical and financial accounting
software for healthcare facilities.
I hope to see you at our PTA
Meetings and/or at the exciting
PTA Events scheduled throughout
the year!

I
have been married for 10 years
to my husband Jack. I have
a son Garrett who is 9 years
old and he is going into 4th
grade. I also have twin boys,
Carter & Brady. They are
6 years old and will be in
2nd Grade this year. I am
originally from Boston, Massachusetts
and have lived here in Washington
for 11 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.
