Derrick - Co-Treasurer
Derrick is dad to M (gr 10) and T (gr 5). Running pension plans during the day leads to running long distances in the woods after work. Can often be found watching soccer practice or waiting for dance class to finish. Happy to be a part of the ULE community!

Emma - Past Chair
Emma, previously a pediatric neurology nurse, is mum to M (gr 11), L (gr 8), & X (gr6). She is not exactly sure how she ended up co-leading the PAC, but she is happy to have such a delightful bunch of humans to help. She tries to make unpaid labour enjoyable by providing store-bought snacks and beverages at all gatherings, ending said gatherings on time, and generally trying to maintain perspective that anything we do is bonus for an already wonderful and well-supported community. She works sporadic hours, occasionally co-facilitates Restorative Justice files, is completing her Masters, and maintains her sanity at jiu jitsu several times a week. She is probably over functioning. Send help. She really likes chai lattes, standup comedy, and going to the cinema.

Madi – Hotlunch/Spirit Wear/Carnival
I have lived in Lynn Valley my whole life and really appreciate our amazing community. I have a child in Grade 4 at ULE which is exciting for me as this was also my elementary school! My favourite event at the school has always been the annual Carnival in June so I’m thrilled to help put this event on. This year, I’m also taking on the role of Class Rep for Division 12.
