Christina Ramaglia, Treasurer

Christina Ramaglia’s son will be a fifth grader this year, and one of her daughters will be a third grader at Berea Elementary. Their family has been a part of the Berea PTO since 2016, when her now seventh grader entered kindergarten. It was a goal then, and remains a goal now, to be an active part of the school community. She has volunteered for field days, holiday shops, and taken a co-chair position for the fall and spring Scholastic book fairs. She is a dedicated member of the PTO and excited to be even more active by taking on the role of treasurer. She is reliable, a critical thinker, and a sound decision maker. She fully understands what her duties would be as treasurer of the PTO and takes this opportunity seriously.
