⭐Get to Know Our PTO!⭐
"Hi! I'm your PTO secretary, Missy Heilgeist. I have a child starting 5th grade and another starting 2nd this year. This will be my 3rd year on the board. I started attending PTO meetings when my oldest was in 1st grade. I was looking for a way to be involved with our local community and my kids' school. I love that my kids get to enjoy fun school events, like I did when I attended Salem.
When not working or helping with PTO, I enjoy traveling, going to concerts, and getting laughs in with family and friends.
Now that you've "met" me, I'd love for you to say "hi" and introduce yourself at our next meeting or event."

"My name is Vicki Szpylman and I am the PTO Treasurer. I joined the PTO when we moved to the area in 2018 as a way to become involved and learn more about the school…meeting some amazing people along the way has been a great added benefit! I’ve been on the board as Treasurer since 2021. My husband and I have two kids at Salem, they will be in 8th and 6th grades this coming year, and a Junior at Central. I love volunteering at the school and helping organize the amazing events the PTO hosts throughout the year. Outside of the school, we can usually be found at softball, horse shows, 4-H, boating, or other outdoor activities!"
