It’s time to nominate and vote for the 2025-2026 PTO Officers slate! Did you know that every Davey parent is automatically a member of our PTO? And every household gets a vote! Come to April 2nd’s meeting at 6:00pm in the Davey library to vote for Secretary and Treasurer.

Rachael King - nominee for Treasurer

My daughter, Brooke, is in third grade at Davey. I love decorating for the holidays—I have tons of decorations—and Halloween is my favorite! I also enjoy cooking, baking, Drumfit, 5Ks, and spending time outdoors on our patio. During the summer, we love having friends over for BBQs and entertaining Brooke's friends at our house.

Louise Fredrick - nominee for Secretary

I have three boys who all have or will have gone through Davey. Braden is in 5th grade now, and Sam will be starting Kindergarten next year. I enjoy watching my kids play soccer and basketball, spending time with friends, watching the CAVS, and enjoying live music with my family.
