🌟 MEET THE BOARD SPOTLIGHT SERIES — FINAL SPOTLIGHT!* 🌟
We’re wrapping up our 2026–2027 Meet the Board Spotlight Series by introducing the person leading our amazing team this year—our PTA President, Mackenzie Kerns! 💚💛
Mackenzie is returning for his 4th year as an officer with Spring Mills Primary PTA, and this year he’s stepping into the role of President! We’re so excited to have his leadership, passion, and dedication guiding our PTA into another incredible school year. ☀️
💬 A message from Mackenzie:
"Hey Sunrays! I'm so excited to be back for my 4th year as an officer with the SMP PTA and even more thrilled to be serving as your President. We've got an amazing team, and I can't wait to work alongside them. I also am the Eastern Regional Director and Secretary for West Virginia State PTA, as well as a member of the National PTA's Legislation Committee.
Instead of teaching first grade this year, I'm joining the specials team as the technology teacher at SMP. I originally got involved with PTA because I love giving back to our school community and helping create awesome opportunities for our students and families to learn, grow, and just have fun. I'm really looking forward to seeing all the great things we have planned come to life this year!"
💚 What does the PTA President do?
As President, Mackenzie helps lead our PTA and keep our team moving toward our shared mission of supporting every child, every family, and our entire school community.
His responsibilities include:
📋 Leading PTA & Executive Committee Meetings — helping guide productive meetings and keep our team focused.
✅ Ensuring Compliance — helping make sure our PTA follows its bylaws, policies, and PTA requirements.
🤝 Building Relationships — strengthening partnerships with our school, families, staff, and community.
📈 Monitoring Progress — keeping an eye on our goals, programs, and initiatives throughout the year.
📣 Representing the PTA — serving as a voice and representative for Spring Mills Primary PTA within our school and community.
And, of course, being there to support our incredible Board of Managers and all of the volunteers who make our PTA possible!
💚 Thank you, Mackenzie, for stepping up to lead our Sunray family! We are so excited to see all the amazing ideas, events, and opportunities you've helped plan come to life this year!
Let's give our PTA President a big WELCOME BACK & CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉☀️
