My name is Kristie DeSantis. I have been a Bay Haven parent for 5 years. I have a daughter Abigail who is in 4th grade. This is my 3rd year on the PTO executive board and has chaired both school dance events. I enjoy working with our families and the kids in creating fun ways to enhance their experience here at Bay Haven along with supporting our amazing teachers and staff!! Feel free to contact me at any time and I look forward to a fun year!!
My name is Nicole Van Blarcum. I have been a Bay Haven parent for 6 years. I have a son Zane who graduated last year and a daughter Zoe who is in 2nd grade. I have been a room rep for 4 years and was room rep coordinator for the last 2 years. This is my 2nd year on the PTO executive board. I am a very hands-on parent and love to help everyone. You will often see me in the hallways or bouncing around all events. I look forward to a fun year and meeting all of you!
My name is Lili Esser. I have 2 children, Nico who is in 5th grade, and Dani, 2nd grade. I have been on the PTO executive board for the last 4 years, and a Room Rep for my kid’s classrooms every year. I love being a part of the PTO because I feel we can contribute a little bit to our school and kid’s experience and help them to become more successful. Looking forward to a different, but an interesting school year!
