President: Alissa Roebuck

 

I am excited to serve a second year as Jordan PTO President. I am half French and half English and I have lived in France, Russia and the US during my childhood. I met my husband in Exeter, in the south of England. I used to work in project management, maternity services and women’s health before having our beautiful eldest, Poppy, who is currently a 4th grader in Ms. Sass’s class at Jordan. We then decided to emigrate to the USA when she was nine months old and to give Tennessee a try and we never left! A few short years later, we had Bella, our little firecracker, who is the first American in the family and is currently in First Grade with Ms. Housel.

 

Until recently, I was a stay-at-home parent but I've now been the Executive Administrator for Motlow State Community College for over two years and I also serve as the Executive Assistant to the President.

 

I love to volunteer at JES, whether it's at the front desk, in the classrooms or in the cafeteria! I love seeing all of our children's happy faces throughout the day. Jordan is an amazing school and I would be honored and excited to be given the chance to be the PTO President for a second term, after serving four years on the board, as VP of Membership the first year, and VP of Fundraising for two and as PTO President this past year!

 

I am excited to bring what I’ve learned so far back to the Board and make next year another awesome year for the Jordan Jets!

 

 

Treasurer: Ashley Sain

 

My family and I recently relocated to the area from Austin, TX.  My husband, Derek, and I have 3 amazing and busy daughters; two of whom are Jordan Jets!  Our oldest, Alli is a sophomore at NHS, Kaydence is a 4th grader, and Madison is 1st grade.  We’ve been very happy with our time at Jordan!

 

Alli is in the band at NHS, and does flag football.  Kaydence does competitive gymnastics and soccer, and Madison does recreational gymnastics. We stay busy but wouldn’t have it any other way! It’s such a joy to see your children find something they love to do!

 

I’m originally from Ohio and went to college at Eastern Michigan, where I earned my BS in accounting.  My husband is from the Birmingham area and earned both his bachelor’s and Master’s in construction science while playing baseball at Auburn University.  He’s the Vice President of Construction for a general contractor based out of Austin, which currently requires him to travel several times a month.  We loved every second of our ten years in Austin but wanted our girls to grow up with family playing a more active role in their lives. So, we decided to relocate to the Nashville area which is essentially halfway between our families.  We’re so happy with our decision!

 

My last paid position was a senior accountant role with a real estate development firm in Austin.  After our youngest was born, I decided it was time to step away from working outside the home.  I spent my “free time” volunteering with multiple organizations.  Our first year here, I was the room mom for our youngest’s EC class at Crockett and was also the treasurer for the Sunset Middle School PTO.  I loved being able to get to know the parents and staff while serving and supporting them. This school year, I’ve loved helping in the cafeteria at Jordan and had the privilege of helping Nurse Dorothy with screenings.  I also just accepted a part-time staff accountant position that will allow me the flexibility to continue to be home with my family while also easing myself back into the workforce.  I’m very excited about serving our amazing Jordan staff and families!!

 

 

Assistant Treasurer: Ana Durand Pratts

 

Hi there! Jose (my husband) and I are proud parents of three Jordan Jets; Sara (5th grade), Ana Sofia (4th grade), and Javier (2nd grade). During the 21-22 school year, I enjoyed being Room Parent for my 3rd and 1st graders and this year I took on the responsibility of the 4th grade Room parent Lead. I love to volunteer at JES, whether it is planning and/or decorating for classroom and school activities, or simply helping out in the classroom or the students. We love everything that entails Jordan from the Staff and PTO to the Teachers to the Students and their parents.

 

I’m originally from Guaynabo, Puerto Rico and I have a Master's in Business Administration and Human Resources. Prior to my kids beginning elementary school, I worked as an Office Administrator, where I took on all the responsibilities of the Office Manager. Then I work in the Human Resources department, where I was responsible for paying Unions from different states then afterward I worked in the Accounting department, handling most of the Accounts Payable/ Accounts Receivable accounts.

 

Since we moved to Tennessee, I have dedicated my time to our family and the kids' schools. Looking forward to continue getting to know all the JES families and having the opportunity to work with PTO as the Assistant Treasurer to continue fulfilling our goals.

 

 

Secretary: Natalie Creamer 

 

Natalie Creamer, married to John and mom to Alice and Jack. My husband and I were born and raised in St. Louis, MO and moved to Brentwood in 2018. I have spent the past 10+ years volunteering for non-profits, which is my passion. My experience in management and events has been put to good use with my work at our preschool, Judson Weekday, our neighborhood HOA and now Jordan PTO. I am happy we are a part of the Jordan community and look forward to building relationships here!

 

 

VP of Communications: Ashley Treangen

 

Hi there! I am the proud momma of Harper, who is in 4th grade, Gunnar, who is in 1st grade, Garrison, who is 1 year old. We moved to middle Tennessee during the summer of 2021. I am originally from a small town in north Texas and my husband is from the San Francisco Bay Area, but we’ve also lived in Austin, Lincoln (NE), Dallas, and Phoenix before our latest move. We love it here and have enjoyed all that the area has to offer. I have a bachelor’s degree in Sport Management from the University of Texas and have spent the last 15+ years working in events, marketing, and communications. At my current company, I manage our internal and external email communications as well as our website. I also lead the design and creation of the majority of our marketing collateral. I have enjoyed volunteering at JES these past few years. It has helped me get to know other parents and the JES community. I am eager and excited to serve the PTO and school for a second year!

I am originally from a small town in northeastern Oklahoma, but moved to middle Tennessee in 2008 after completing my BBA in Finance and International Business at Oklahoma Baptist University.  For the past almost 15 years I have been working in the financial services industry and currently work at E|Financial Alliance where I help businesses establish & operate their qualified retirement plans.

 

My husband, Jesse, and I are very grateful to live in Nolensville with our two boys: Kayton (almost 5) and Camden (2.5).  We are active members at The Church at Nolensville where I currently serve in the preschool ministry. We are excited to have our oldest beginning his elementary school experience in Kindergarten at Jordan Elementary this fall. While new to the Jordan community, we have heard wonderful things about the school and I would be thrilled to be a part of the PTO board by serving in the VP of Membership capacity.

Member at Large: Julie Fisher

 

Julie and Chase have been in the Nashville area for over 10 years. We joined the Jordan community in 2021 when our oldest began first grade. We currently have a daughter in Mrs. Evans' class in third grade and a son in first grade with Mrs. Gaston. Our entire family has loved Jordan - from the excellent teaching, investment in student success, dedicated staff, and especially the fun events!

 

Before having our daughter, I taught third grade with MNPS in Antioch and second, third, and fourth grades at a rural school in West TN. I officially retired and have stayed home with our kids since 2015, with some subbing at preschool and teaching second-grade Bible class to keep my skills fresh! I am excited to join the PTO board with my educator background and hope that that will help me add to the team and find innovative ways to support our administration, teachers, and staff!

 

I enjoy volunteering with Jordan, including serving the teachers at the hospitality lunches, helping with the book fair, passing out supplies, and especially checking out students in the cafeteria! It is fun for me to be back in a school setting and find small ways to make a difference in a large community.

 

When I am not running my kids to ninja class, cheerleading, soccer, or flag football, you can find me taking our mini Goldendoodle puppy, Murray, for hikes around Smith Park! If you see us in the car line, feel free to roll down your window and say hi, Murray and I would love to get to know you!
