Executive Board

President - Harmony Johnson

Hi! I’m Harmony. I have 1 daughter at Teller: Imogen (4th) as well as a recent Teller graduate in 6th grade at GALS. I decided to get involved with the PTA after realizing how much the staff give to our kids, day in and day out. I wanted to find a way to give back with my actions, and the PTA is it! I’ve found that despite being busy with work and family life, having a leadership role on the PTA is still manageable because of the incredible team approach and commitment of the other volunteers. president@tellerpta.org

Vice President - Alise Strawn

Alise is a mom of three kids, two current Teller Tigers (Stella- 4th grade; Ada-1st grade) and one future Tiger (Maki- 2.5 years old). She got involved in the PTA when Stella was in ECE, to meet other parents and to hear and help support all things Teller. Alise has been a teacher for 16 years and this year is her first year at Teller! It has been great to be a staff member, PTA board member and parent of students at Teller. vicepresident@tellerpta.org

 Committee Chairs

FundraisingEmily Musser

When my husband called me after his tour of Teller (our 7th school and on the day that choice forms were due) and told me that Teller was the school we should pick, I had no idea how fortunate we would be. Our oldest Abby is now a proud Teller alum, and our youngest (Maddie in 3rd grade) is thriving. I decided to dip my toe back in the fundraising water five years ago and have been hooked ever since. The Teller community is so very special, and I feel truly blessed to serve in this way. Leading a passionate group of volunteers who work tirelessly to raise funds to support Teller is truly a great joy. fundraising@tellerpta.org
