2024-25 PTO BOARD MEMBERS
Michelle Newman, President
I am thrilled to serve as the Ben Franklin PTO President for a second term. My son will be
in 2nd grade and twin daughters that will be in TK. I work at a university and enjoy
education and the opportunities it allows. I like volunteering at Franklin because it allows
me to be part of my children’s educational journey, allows me to know what is going on in
the school and I get to work with the students, families and staff. I look forward to a
GREAT year at Franklin!
