vice president
Hi, my name is Kimberly. My son, Trent, is a 2nd grader at EMK. I am a former Special Ed/Kindergarten teacher turned stay at home mom. This is my third term on the PTO Board. My family started and runs a local non-profit so I was able to use my experience to co-chair fundraising efforts for EMK during the 2020-2021 school year. This year I am entering my second term as Vice President. I can’t wait to get to know the EMK community and look forward to a great school year!

Jamie Adler
treasurer
My name is Jamie Adler. I have two boys, one in 6th at PLD and another in 2nd at EMK. I am currently a middle school teacher, but when I'm not there, you'll find me (probably) cheering on the sidelines at a soccer or football game. I am so excited to have this opportunity to be on the board another year; my son's both love(d) McKnight very much and I look forward to being a part of more exciting things happening here!
