PTO Board Members
President: Paula Richardson
PTO Presidencies LOVE busy people because "busy people get stuff done!" With a husband
in school, a part-time work schedule as a speech language pathologist, running her kids to
activities, and chasing her busy toddler, we are grateful to have Paula lead us. She
handles stressful moments with ease and so much heart. Please contact Paula with any
questions, concerns, or ideas that will help us to improve our Valley PTO! She can be

Vice President: Morgan Creager
Morgan is excited to be working more with the PTO this year! She is a pediatrician who has been a stay-at-home mom for the past 11 years. Out of her seven children, ranging from 22 to 4 years old, Morgan has two kids at Valley this year (1st and 3rd grades). She loves kids and loves our wonderful valley! Morgan also enjoys being outside, music, reading, and doing anything with her family. Morgan is an awesome asset to our PTO board and is ready to help however she can!
Secretary: Makensie Baker
Makensie has been in the Valley for 3 years. She has four young kids, ranging from 9 to 3. She is a full-time mom, part-time therapist, and a full-time lover of anything in the mountains. If she isn't at home or with her family, she is usually running, biking, or skiing. Makensie took a chance on PTO Secretary because her kids wanted her at school more. 
She is grateful to be involved, help support the community, and connect with fellow parents. Contact Makensie at
Treasurer: Jaycie Holley
Jaycie is our fantastic new treasurer who's hit the ground running! She has lived in the Valley her entire life, and now gets to raise her two girls in the place she loves. Jaycie is an elementary school teacher who has spent the past five years teaching 2nd and 3rd grade. Now, she;s diving into school life from a parent's perspective and couldn't be more excited! Jaycie enjoys spending time with family, traveling to new places, and being outside. She takes pride in being hardworking, thoughtful, and independent.
Teacher Rep: Lacey Gauchat
Lacey is our amazing teacher rep and brings the voice of the teachers to our meetings.
She does a great job of making sure we are on track with what's most helpful to support
the amazing teaching team that keeps our kids thriving at Valley Elementary. Lacey is
mom to two very active kids (one at Weber Innovations and another finishing her last
year at Valley Elem). She has been teaching Kindergarten for 13+ years and is a long-
time Huntsville resident. When she leaves our beloved valley for a night out, it's likely that
she is heading to Sandy to cheer on the Real Salt Lake MLS Soccer Team!
