As a veteran of 17 years, I've learned and developed leadership skills that have helped me the last two years as PTO President. My wife works at the school on the secondary side and all three of our children, identical twin 7 year old boys and 9 year old daughter, have attended Pinecrest Cadence since Kindergarten. During my time as President, our PTO team has focused on making a better environment for the staff while providing many fun activities for all the children K-12. Some of our events have gotten so big they require city permits. None of this would've been accomplished on my own, but as a team we can level any mountain. It takes a village to raise a child and our village is strong. I enjoy doing everything I can to provide an outstanding scholastic experience for all children even if it requires me to coach a team or volunteer as a mentor. I've had a rewarding two years as PTO President and I look forward to another term.
Hello, my name is Danielle and this is my second term as VPC. My son will be going into 4th grade next year. I work at the Venetian Resort as a Marketing Specialist and in my spare time I like to read, shop, and design. I have been on the PTO Board the past three years now and it has been so rewarding helping the students and staff. I will continue to dedicate as much time and energy necessary to ensure we have another successful year filled with fun memories and events. I look forward to many years of being a part of not only the Pinecrest family but the Cadence Community as well.
Hi, my name is Lyndsie Summers and this is my second term as VPE. I have three wonderful daughters who all attend Pinecrest Cadence. Kyliegh will be in 6th, Paige will be in 4th, and Brooklyn will be in 1st. Our family enjoys spending time outside whenever we can; bike rides and trips to the park fill most of our days. We are a Pinecrest family. I have been a part of the PTO for 6 years, I previously served as the PTO Secretary before becoming a VP. I am looking forward to another great year working with the PTO however I can be of help.
My name is Jennifer and I am a mother of two amazing kids, Brayden 12 and Charli 6. I have been a flight attendant for almost 19 years. I love spending time with my family. We enjoy traveling, Bbq, swimming, playing board games and just hanging out and making memories! My first year at Pinecrest Cadence I was a dedicated volunteer and I enjoyed it very much!

My name is Becky and I'm mom to two wonderful kids, Isabelle (18) and Charles (13). I've been a stay-at-home mom for over 14 years now and I've loved every moment. Our family absolutely loves Pinecrest Cadence and I've been so blessed to be able to volunteer and support the school. I have been a Board Assistant for a couple years and this is a brand new position for me! I can't wait for this school year and all the opportunities Pinecrest and the PTO have to offer to our kids.
My name is Amarilis Alexander and this will be my fourth year as Treasurer. My son has attended Pinecrest schools since he was in 6th grade and just graduated this past year with dual enrollment. My daughter will be in second grade this coming year. I’m currently and in the past served in different boards nationwide such as the Nevada Interpreters & Translators Association as Secretary and Treasurer. Also, for the Law@work association based in Florida as a founding member. I enjoy giving back to the community that has done so much for my kids. My experience on this PTO Board as Treasurer previously and being an executive board member on other non profits feels like a good fit.
I am the parent of one Cadence Cougar who will be going into second grade next year! I am an avid reader who loves to write, drink tea, eat sushi, and be helpful. I think it is extremely important to be involved with my daughter's schooling and to form connections and bonds with the amazing teachers and superhero people that will be surrounding her on a daily basis. Being a member of PTO allows me to be present for her while also being of service to the rest of the school community, and I look forward to helping make next year a fun one for all the Pinecrest children!
Hi! My name is Dayana Hernandez and my son Liam will be a 6th grader for this 24-25 school year. And I look forward to being a Board assistant! We love Pinecrest Cadence! And I enjoy being a part of our incredible PTO to make a positive impact for our kiddos! I have always made it a point to incorporate social responsibility into our life on a regular basis and I hope to show my little one how important it is. I grew up holding leadership positions in extracurricular activities throughout high school, college, and in my career environments and now I have the pleasure helping our Pinecrest Cadence community by being an active PTO member since 2018! On our limited free time we enjoy nature outings and enjoying quality time with family and friends.
I am a wife and mother of two boys, Troy and Chase. I relocated to Las Vegas in 2005 from my home state of Michigan. I am an animal lover and have two dogs and one cat. I enjoy my friends and family time, sports, hiking, camping, concerts, gardening, reading, and being adventurous. I joined the PTO Board because I love not only being involved in my kids school, but being involved in planning fun activities. I admire the support and the fun atmosphere the PTO brings to our school and I want to be involved with that through the board. Plus I would love team building experiences with the cool kids!
My name is Shannon Shue and my husband and I have 3 daughters, 2 of them attend Pinecrest. They are in seventh grade, fourth grade, and Kinder. When we aren’t at practices, games or competitions, our family loves to camp. We have been a part of the Pinecrest family and PTO members since the school opened in 2016. I love to volunteer, because it’s important to me to stay informed, support our school and enhance our community.
Hi. My name is Edeliza, but I go by Eddie. I have 2 beautiful daughters that go to Pinecrest. I used to be a stroke nurse at Sunrise Hospital, but now I just take care of my family, which includes a husband, 2 kids, 4 dogs, and a hamster. I am a good fit to be a Board Assistant because I’m pretty much at the school a lot (or at least it seems like it) helping out where I can. And I’m pretty available to lend a hand when it’s needed. I just want to make sure the kids have fun with the events held at school and that they have an adult that they know and can always say hi and hug when they want to.
My name is Veniesha Brooks and I am a mom of 2 girls! One 7th grader and one 10th grader at Cadence! This is my 4th year on PTO and I just love being involved and helping plan and execute the activities for the kids and the teachers throughout the year! I’m excited to get back into action! I love even though I work full time I can choose the activities that excite me and my kiddos the most! There is something for everyone here!
I have been a parent at PAC for the past 7 years. My youngest is headed into the 6th grade and my oldest is about to graduate from PAC high school.I have been pleased with the quality of education provided to all 3 of my kids. I would love to serve in any capacity as I truly believe in the mission of this academy. I believe that parents should be involved with their children’s school to the best of their ability in order to allow this establishment to continue growing and becoming more successful.it would be an honor to be a part of this board as I’m confident that PAC truly cares about the well being of our children and really wants them to be successful in their endeavors.
I am a mom to 4 kids. A 20 year old in college, a 7th grader, 5th grader, and a 2nd grader at Pinecrest Cadence. I was on the PTA board for 6 years,when my oldest was in elementary school and I really enjoyed helping the school and seeing the parents get involved in their community.

My name is Jana and I am so excited to be an Assistant on the PTO board this year. I am a wife and mother to 2 energetic and amazing children. My son will be going into 2nd grade this year and my daughter will be starting Kindergarten! I am a dedicated runner, a semi-professional baker, and a mega nerd. I joined the PTO because education is extremely important to me. The best way I believe I can contribute to our Pinecrest family is to help ensure that not only my child, but every child in the Cadence community, has a safe and creative environment to grow and learn!
I love to be involved in my kid’s schools. I am eager help and want to be able to make memories with my kids and their involvement in school.
I'm a mom of two whom are both Pinecrest students at Cadence, they will be in first and fifth grade this upcoming school year. I really loved being a PTO member this past year and enjoy the time the events give us with my children and their friends, as well as the community the PTO helps to foster at the school. I've heard nothing but wonderful things about the PTO from teachers and other families and I would be thrilled to join as a Board Assistant and be more involved, as this past year was our first year at Cadence after being at St. Rose for four years.
I possess the spirit of a 21-year-old combined with the knowledge and wisdom of someone much older. My days are dedicated to working at a comprehensive financial planning firm, while my evenings are joyfully spent with my four children, fiancée, and beloved fur baby. We enjoy playing and watching hockey—Go Knights Go! We also eagerly embrace new adventures through our travels. During my grade school years, I was consistently involved in student council and various sports. Now, as an adult, I have organized numerous events both professionally and personally. I am thrilled to be part of a school with such an active PTO and am looking forward to contributing to the activities it sponsors.
