I'm a mom of 2 Lafayette learners (Isabeau 5th & Stellan 4th) as well as a Lafayette alum (Juniper 7th). I work full time. I enjoy photography, beach volleyball, glamping, and exploring new places/cultures! We are originally from Virginia (I'm sure you'll notice the southern accent slipping in from time to time) and have been in Seattle since 2015. Excited to bring my project management skills to the PTA and support this wonderful community! Shoot me an email here if you are curious how you can get involved - it's super rewarding!

Sara Davis is the proud mom to Annabelle (4th grade) and Parker (Kinder). When the kids are at school, Sara is busy working as an Architect alongside her husband and business partner, Kyle. In her free time (what’s that?), Sara enjoys gardening, reading, cooking, and adventures – whether local or across the globe (or, frequently, Disneyland). This school year Sara will be working with her husband/co-chair Kyle on bringing fun events to the Lafayette community – for kids, adults, families and friends!

I’m Megan and a mom to a 4th grade son (Henry) and 1st grade daughter (Audrey). I work as a Corporate Office Manager and love what I do and who I work with! My experience as a past room parent as well as classroom volunteering pushed me to wanting to be more involved and I enjoy serving on the pta board. As a family we love to spend time outdoors, visiting National Parks, local parks & being tourists in our own city. In my free time I love to work in my garden/yard, read, organize everything, & ski.

I am the mom of three very active kids - Ray (3rd grade), Cate (1st grade), and Lucy (Future Leopard). I am probably best recognizable as the woman with the large flower-wearing black puppy at drop off and pick up. Feel free to come up and say hi to us - she loves an excuse for a stranger to give her a treat. Lafayette will be the first school my kids have spent more than a year attending (and they are very excited about this)! We are a military family who hops between cities but have fallen in love with West Seattle and are doing our best to stay as long as possible. I am a CPA and own my own accounting business. When I saw the treasurer position open up, I finally felt like I had something to contribute. I look forward to helping where I can.

Laura is a lifelong Seattleite and has two sons at Lafayette this year, Beau (4th grade) and Charlie (kindergarten). She works full time in local government and enjoys running, camping, and baking with her kids.

Hi Lafayette! I am a mom to three boys: Dex (junior at WSHS), Cal (freshman at WSHS) and Seb (my 5th grade Lafayette Leopard!).

When I’m not working hard for our school or helping out in others, you can find me coaching at Hiit Lab, my happy place!

I can't believe it's my last year parenting in elementary school; I feel like I looked away for a second and it was over! Our family feels truly lucky to have had such a special school to call home the past decade.

Lia is the mom of three amazing kids, two at Lafayette: her daughter, Roma (5th grade) and son, August (1st grade), and one future Leopard, Maximo, who is still in preschool. In addition to being a full-time mom of three, Lia works as a writer creating scripts and stories for companies of all sizes, so taking on the Communications role this year feels like a great fit.

She loves being a part of the incredible Lafayette community and continues to be blown away by the spirit of the students, staff, and parents.

I’m mama to a 5th grader + Kindergartener. A few things about me: My partner + I are IN IT together: we raise our kids + Bernedoodles, are entrepreneurs, grand adventurers and are committed to raising our bicultural kids between Seattle + Nepal. I love travel, national parks, hiking, camping, open (cold) water swimming, road-trips, food: growing it, cooking it, sharing it, eating it. I like connecting with folks to build community around resource sharing, development, culture, art, business + social change. I’m excited to learn alongside this community and foster an environment that is inclusive, accessible and equitable; celebrating the collective culture and diversity along the way. I’d love to build a robust committee of voices to support the mission of making Lafayette a truly inclusive school. Email me!

Though this is Kyle's first official year on the PTA, he's been working on school events with his co-chair since his daughter Annabelle was in Kindergarten - this year she's in 4th grade! Joining her is her little brother, Parker. An Architect by day, in his free time he loves to travel, go to football games (Go Hawks!), spend time with his family and friends, and snowboard. He dreams of the day when he can return to Portugal. Kyle is looking forward to planning some fun events for the Lafayette Community this year!

As a former student of Lafayette (1985 - 1991) herself, Nikki is delighted - if not a little weirded out - to have a 1st grade son of her own (Benjamin) roaming the same halls. Nikki spent the last 25 years in SoCal working in the film/tv industry as a stop motion puppet fabricator, before moving back home to West Seattle last August to get her son as close to his grandparents as possible. She hopes to continue her work here, hanging out her own shingle as "Puppets Northwest." This is Nikki's second year as a PTA member but first on the board, as Fundraising Chair. She hopes to follow the example that her parents started 4 decades ago as PTA members/OG Acorn Award Winners (read as "not mess it up" HA!) and bring that same level of energy, creativity and service to the Lafayette community and beyond.

Mom of Elliot (5th grade) and wife of Ben, Michelle is excited to join the PTA for her final year at Lafayette. Originally from British Columbia, she’s lived in Seattle since 2008.

I have been a volunteer and Room parent the past couple years and I’m excited to take on this new role and help our Lafayette community!

I am a father of two Lafayette students (Julian in 5th grade and Cora in 2nd). After a decade of product management at Amazon, the kids are now my full-time job, though I also do baseball writing and podcasting on the side. In addition to watching too much baseball, I love photography, travel, and soccer. Inspired by my little learners, I have been trying to learn guitar, as well. I am originally from Cleveland, Ohio. My wife, Katie, and I lived in Chicago before we moved to Seattle 12 years ago. This is my first year on the PTA board, but I have been involved in Lafayette over the last five years as a room parent and volunteer, and I look forward to bringing that experience to my role this year.
