Jennifer Diget:

I have a senior and freshman at Kalamazoo Central who both attended King-Westwood. I work at King-Westwood Elementary as the child accounting secretary and have been involved with the PTO for 11 years. Over those years I have been involved as a parent, volunteer, chair of an several events and part of the executive board. My current role on the board is Secretary. I think being part of the PTO and being a staff member at the school has been very beneficial as I have been available to answer question by students, staff and parents. I feel its very important to be involved with the PTO because everything the PTO does is about and for the students. Their smiles are so worth it!
