Meet the 2009-2010 Executive Board

Download the PTO By-Laws (MS Word)

The PTO Executive Board is made up of 5 Parent Representatives, 1 Room Parent Coordinator, Principal, and Teacher Representative. Each board member takes responsibility for a few projects and becomes the contact person for that event. We ask that parents and teachers share the responsibility for successful programs and events by volunteering to run events and share ideas and thoughts. Please contact any board member with your questions, concerns, ideas or to volunteer.

Susan Oliveira
This is my second year on the PTO Executive Board. I work as a full time nurse anesthetist at Brockton Hospital. I have three children that attend the Central School. I have really enjoyed getting involved over the past couple of years attending PTO meetings, participating in the parent volunteer program, and being a part of the room parent program. There are many ways to get involved in East Bridgewater and I encourage any mom/dad to attend our meetings, sign up on our volunteer list, and visit our website to review minutes from our meetings and view upcoming events. Please feel free to contact any one of us with questions, concerns, or suggestions.

This is my second year on the PTO. I have been in East Bridgewater in 2003 with my husband, and two children. I have been in banking since 1989 and. I have held multiple management positions at several banks. I am currently an Assistant Vice President at Rockland Trust in the Cash Management Department. I have been volunteering at the South Shore Hospital for the past 7 years. I am currently the Chair of the Friends of the NICU and the Treasurer of the Friends of the South Shore Hospital. I know how important it is to be involved in the community and your child’s education, The PTO Executive Board is a great opportunity to help. I look forward to working with the PTO again this year to deepen our community spirit and enhance our children’s educational experience at the Central Elementary School. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

Lisa Collins
My name is Lisa Collins and I am new to the PTO. Along with my husband Jim, we are the proud parents of James 7 and Daniel 5. I decided to become a member of the PTO because I feel education is of the upmost importance in the rearing of my children. Education is the stepping stone to molding a child's future. I hope that my involvement in the PTO can help all of our children form a firm foundation in learning. At the school I am the Room Parent for Daniel, the copier mother for James. Also I am a Den mother for cub scouts and at St. John's church I am a hall monitor. I feel by my involvement in the various activities that it is important to my children along with myself and others. It makes my children smile to see me there and gives them a sense of stability to know mom cares about how they are doing in school.

Kathy Yuskevicz
My husband Wayne and I have lived in East Bridgewater for 6 years. We have twin daughters who are attending kindergarten this year. I have been working in the field of education since 1995, and am currently a Special Education Teacher within the Weymouth Public School System. My role as a parent and educator has lead me towards the understanding that it is crucial to be directly involved with our children’s education and social environments. This is my first experience with the Central School’s PTO and I welcome the opportunity to be on the Executive Board. I am excited to be involved in my children’s school experience and encourage every parent/guardian to participate and add their ideas and talents to enrich our school. I look forward to a wonderful year, and I thank you for the opportunity!

Beth Hoitt
I am a member of the PTO executive board representing the Room Parent Program. I have three children at the Central School, Alyssa in second grade, Alex in first grade and Amanda in preschool. My husband and I settled in town 11 years ago believing it would be a great community to raise a family. I began to volunteer at the school when my first child started Kindergarten. I have been a room parent and room parent coordinator for two years and hope to continue until my youngest has moved on to middle school. I work part-time as an Occupational Therapist and firmly believe that we need to teach our children the importance of balancing the “work” they do in school with caring for themselves and having fun!

Central School Representation

Mrs. Williams – Principal
I grew up in East Bridgewater and attended the public schools here in town. I still reside in town with my husband and two sons (Aidan, 3 & Gage, 1). I have worked at Central School for the past ten years. Prior to becoming Principal in the fall of 2004 I was the Assistant Principal and a classroom teacher in grades 1 & 3. As a resident, parent, and administration in the town I couldn't be more proud of the dedication and commitment that the parents show for their children and the entire school community. I developed and implemented the PTO at Central School in 2003 and right from the start the parents have worked tirelessly to create programs and initiatives that have enriched the lives of the students and beautified the school environment. I look forward to continuing my partnership with the PTO and especially to my own children attending Central School and benefiting from all the wonderful opportunities the PTO provides for our families.
