President: Courtney Fern

Courtney has been a Jordan parent since the opening of the school, and currently has two daughters still attending JES. She has consistently volunteered with the PTO throughout the years, including taking roles like Room Parent Coordinator, Grade Level Coordinator, and chair of Movie Night. Courtney is a former high school English teacher and can now be found teaching barre classes at NoloSol in Nolensville. Her three daughters are in first (Nora), fifth grade (Elise), and seventh grade (Lila).

Secretary: Hannah Telman

Treasurer: Elizabeth Carder

Elizabeth Carder and her husband James are parents to three children: Jude (4th grade), Ezra (1st grade), and Isla (age 3). Their family relocated from Colorado and quickly found a sense of community at Jordan Elementary.

Elizabeth brings prior experience in a treasurer role from her children’s former school PTA, and is excited to support the Jordan PTO in a similar capacity. Professionally, she has a background in investigations and worked as a NICU nurse before transitioning to focus on her family and community involvement. She is detail-oriented, dependable, and passionate about supporting the staff, students, and families who make Jordan such a special place.

She looks forward to contributing to the work of the PTO and helping ensure a great year for everyone at JES.

VP of Communications: Allison Halberstadt

Allison Halberstadt and her husband Eric are proud parents to four past/current/future Jordan Jets: Vera (6th), Faye (4th), Maeve (1st), and Jack (3).

She has midwest roots, growing up in Minnesota, going to school in Wisconsin (go Badgers!) and chasing career aspirations in Ohio. She and her family relocated from Minnesota to Brentwood in 2020, and have never looked back. The community and schools are top notch and she can't wait to contribute to the continued success of Jordan Elementary through involvement in the PTO. Allison has worked 15+ years in CPG sales, and understands the value of strong communication in business and in the community. She looks forward to ensuring the Jordan community stays informed, engaged and excited about all that is happening in our wonderful school.  

VP of Fundraising: Paige Andre

VP of Special Events: Haley Delvizis

My name is Haley Delvizis - “Reese’s Pieces Del-V-Zis”. I was born and raised in Alabama and graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Human Development & Family Studies. My husband, Chris, and I lived in Austin, Texas from 2008-2021 where I was a high school Family & Consumer Science teacher, cheer coach, and FCCLA advisor. Chris is originally from Franklin and also graduated from Auburn University. His current role with Amazon brought us “back” to Tennessee in 2023. We are thrilled to be closer to family & old friends. We have 3 kids - Ella 5th grade, Ava 2nd grade, & Everett who will be in kindergarten this year. I am looking forward to having all 3 kiddos at Jordan next year!

I have enjoyed volunteering at Jordan over the last 2.5 years serving as a room parent, field trip chaperone, hospitality committee member, and holiday cookie exchange coordinator. I am looking forward to being a part of the PTO and all of the excitement that next year has to offer!

VP of Membership: Jessica Smith

Hi Jordan families!  My name is Jess Smith, and I’m hoping to serve as Jordan’s first ever VP of Hospitality.  I have two boys at Jordan (Lewis in 4th Grade, and Theo in 2nd Grade) as well as a two year old daughter at home.  I’m originally from south Mississippi, and am grateful to have called Williamson County home for the past six years.  I’m currently serving on the PTO Board as the Member at Large, and have greatly enjoyed my time doing so.  You can find me doing various odd jobs around the school and helping out when and where I’m needed!  I’ve served as the co-chair of the Hospitality Committee for the past two years, and am also currently the co-chair of the Teacher Appreciation Week Committee.  I absolutely love working with our parent community to help put together fun events and surprises to treat our wonderful teachers and staff.  In addition to working on hospitality events, I’ve enjoyed being a room parent for one or both of my boys’ classes every year, including one year as a grade level lead.  I would truly love the opportunity to serve as your new VP of Hospitality, and look forward to working with our fantastic community of volunteers to support and encourage our teachers and staff!

VP of Hospitality: Emily Maugans

VP of Marketing: Katie Little

I'm Katie Little, and I'm excited to step into the role of PTO Secretary! I am a mom of three, Carter (3rd Grade), Maggie (Kindergartner), and Charlie (7 months). Since moving to Brentwood in 2021, I've actively volunteered at school and in the community. I have served as Jordan’s Room Parent Coordinator for the last two years, helped organize events, lunches, assisted teachers and I'm also a familiar face in the cafeteria during lunch.

As the former Director of Playgroups for Las Madres in California, I honed my event planning and organizational skills. I'm adept at keeping records, managing agendas, and ensuring clear communication between parents and leadership. I understand the invaluable role teachers and staff play in our children's lives and I'll strive to support them through appreciation initiatives and communication of their needs. I'm passionate about making our school an even better place for our children, and I'm eager to work to achieve that goal.

Member At Large: OPEN!

President Emerita: Mary Birkhauser

Mary Birkhauser and her husband Ryan have four children Jack (4th grade), William
(1st grade), Eleanor (incoming kindergartener!) and Georgia (2 going on 12). They
moved to Brentwood three years ago and quickly found a home at Jordan
Elementary. Mary has served on and led parent boards since Jack’s first year in
preschool and has always enjoyed volunteering for our school communities with a
heart for supporting our administrators and teachers while building a community
for parents and families. After running events for the board this past year, Mary

PTO. With a professional and volunteer background in project management and communications, Mary looks forward to bringing those skills to the table while working with the entire board and engaging other volunteers to continue building the community of Jordan we’ve all come to love.
