Hello! I'm Allyson, the VP of Membership. Although this is my first year serving on the PTA Board, I have been an active PTA member for the past six years. My husband Mike and I believe that being involved in schools is crucial. Our son Cohen will be attending the SGC this year, and our daughter Kaylee will be in fifth grade. I am excited to help Jane Ruestmann Elementary open their doors and welcome new eagles into the Argyle ISD family! Please reach out if you have any questions about PTA membership or anything JRE. We are going to have a great year!
