Notes from the Family Ambassador
Some of you may recognize my face from the many PTA events of the past years. I have been on the PTA board for five years, mostly in the treasurer's role. I am married to my husband Shane Green and we have two children, a 7th grade boy at Ridgeview and a 5th grade girl here at Gables. I have a plethora of knowledge and am excited to learn even more about our Gables families and your needs. I've been around the block so to speak, so please feel free to talk to me any time and if I can't answer your questions, I can point you in the right direction.
At Gables we believe that when families actively participate in school activities, students are more engaged and perform better academically. Whether it's attending parent-teacher conferences, volunteering with the PTA, or just participating in school events, your presence and support are invaluable to us and to your child's success. Your involvement is the key to making Gables Elementary a place where learning is not just about academics, but also about building a strong, supportive community. I look forward to seeing you in school and celebrating the achievements our students have together. We love to learn. Go get'em Gators!
