2025-2026 Board Members

​

President: Kimmy Lee - Mom of 3rd and 5th grader: “Five years ago, I would have never thought I would be here in this role for the Foundation. I made the choice to join this parent volunteer organization by taping running club tokens from home. With a full-time job and after school activities, it may seem like making time for the board and volunteering is impossible but we appreciate and encourage all and every contribution and time. “Many hands make light work”. I am proud of being a part of such an amazing community.”

​

VP of Community Engagement: Kelly Wennerberg - Mom of 2nd and 6th grader: “When I joined this group of volunteers, I did not think I would end up being known by most students, including my own, as the crazy Jog-A-Thon lady! I quickly realized how powerful this organization is for our school community. The impact that the Sandburg Foundation has on our school is incredible! We welcome you to join us as little or as much as your schedule allows!”

​

VP of Academics: Stephanie Huynh - Mom of 2nd and 5th graders: “The reason I decided to join the Foundation is the same reason I encourage other parents to join - to be involved with decisions that will directly affect your children and their teachers' experience. It has afforded me the opportunity to network with other parents, get to know our incredible staff and teachers at Sandburg, and I get to see my kiddos in their school environment!”

​

Secretary: Danielle Bailey - Mom of a 4th grader: “It never ceases to amaze me the generosity and kindness our Tiger community has for each other. It’s been a great experience and I enjoy being involved in my daughter’s school life in a greater capacity. Foundation events bring such happiness and excitement to the students and their families. We appreciate all the support and welcome anyone who would like to become involved!”

​

Treasurer: Edward Wade - Dad of 2nd grader: “Not only do I enjoy staying informed but being able to benefit the school and all of the students and families positively is what I look forward to the most. The Foundation has been a huge resource of smiling faces that have welcomed me into the Sandburg family. Any amount of support makes a big impact to the kids and our community.”

​

Financial Secretary: Kayleen Thompson - Mom of 1st and 3rd grader: “The Sandburg Foundation is such a strong community that truly enhances the educational experience for students and organizes events that bring families together. I joined the Foundation because I want my girls to enjoy their years at Sandburg and I know family involvement is key to that success.”

These Sandburg parents volunteer, not only to help out throughout the year, but also to help coordinate everything the Foundation does. Without these and other dedicated volunteers, nothing listed on the "What we Do" page, would happen. Email us at volunteer@sandburgfoundation.org to let us know how you would like to help provide a great experience for your kids. Please feel free to join us or contact us at any time. Members do not need to chair any event to join the board.
