for 2015- 2016 Board Positions

CANDIDATES:

Krista Butler  - I have a Kindergartner coming to BFCS for the 2015-2016 school year, and have no other children attending. I have not had the opportunity to volunteer with any boards but I am currently a secretary over one of my church programs and have been for 4 years. I would really like to be on the FPAC board because I want to help create fun experiences for the kids; to help them learn and grow but most of all help them make a lasting impression on life and much fun it can be!

Aaron Howard - This is our first year at BFCS. I have 1 kindergartener. I have been volunteering at Damien's school for 2 years now and also volunteer for some of his youth sports league. I would like to help organize various events throughout the year and I may be able to help out with the yearbook next year if there is a need for a graphic designer.

Michelle Jones - We've been at BFCS for a year and a half. I have a first grader right now and next year I will also have a kindergartner. I try to volunteer at the school for as much as I can for each event or activity. In my younger years, in college, I was Treasure of my graduating class. My senior year I served as co-president of the programs student board. Both jobs involved planning and organizing fundraisers and other events. I'd like to be on the FPAC board to be able to help out a little more in the planning and organizing of the school events. I like to know what's going on and help where I can.

Misty Polanco - I am a mother of 5.... 4 of those attended BFCS. I currently have a 3rd grader and kindergartener attending now and my youngest will attend in another year. I have been a volunteer in classrooms and with work sent home. This last basketball season I volunteered with the booster club for my son's basketball team at Mesquite high and coached my daughter's volleyball team at Heritage. I also coach my childrens' sports at YMCA and enjoy being part of a team.

Linda Wheeler - I am a small business owner and karate enthusiast. Before becoming a SAH/WAHM, I worked in Marketing for an international broker/dealer, which included event planning as well as working with vendors to get the best deals for the company representatives. I also was the assistant editor for the company magazine, both print and online content. I am testing for my first black belt very shortly with my 6th grader. I have also medaled in several karate tournaments. I have 3 kids, all of whom attend the Gilbert campus. My children have been attending BFCS- Gilbert for the last 7 years. I have volunteered in the classrooms and have also enjoyed teaching Music and Art Masterpiece for many years. I have also enjoyed volunteering more in the last couple of years helping FPAC.

Justine Wheeler - This next school year will be our first at BFCS with 1 incoming kindergartener. I am currently the Young Women's camp director for my church. Last year I was the assistant. I devote many hours to our churches youth program. I've served in many church jobs. I've been on many of my children's sports committees. FPAC to me is a perfect opportunity for me to get involved in the school. I firmly believe that parent involvement helps make for a better school experience.

Jen Whorley - I have been at BFCS for 8 years. My oldest child, Jake, is in Jr. High now, but attended BFCS for Kindergarten through sixth grade, and my youngest child, Ben, is in 4th grade. I have been a member of FPAC for 3 years and served as the Vice President for the past 2 years. During my  time with FPAC I have been responsible for the Silent Auction and Raffle at the Fall Festival, the FPAC newsletter, and the Health Screening. I have assisted with coordinating many other activities too including Field Day this past year. I love volunteering in the classrooms and have done that for years. I taught Music Masterpiece a few years ago and Art Masterpiece the past 2 years. We love BFCS and the community here! My children have received a great education, both in the classroom and outside of it at BFCS. I really believe that the activities FPAC does here play a large role in bringing the community together and in helping the school develop well-rounded students. And I hope to continue to be a part of that.
