Every team needs a hype person, and for the last two years, ours has been Katie. 💙
If you’ve ever stopped scrolling because a PTA post looked amazing, admired our spirit wear, loved a bulletin board display, or thought, “Wow, PTA is really stepping up their game,” there’s a good chance Katie had something to do with it.
As our Communications Chair, Katie helped completely refresh and rebrand our PTA with a fresh logo, cohesive themes, eye-catching graphics, and social media that made our PTA feel fun, welcoming, and relevant. She has an incredible ability to take an idea and turn it into something memorable.
Katie is the kind of person who sees possibilities where the rest of us see a blank page. Whether it was designing spirit wear, creating graphics, hand-painting banners, photographing every student for our black-and-white portrait fundraiser, or helping bring our vision to life, she always found a way to make things feel polished, exciting, and uniquely DEE.
She was also one of the creative minds behind updating our PTA mission, vision, and goals, and played a huge role in both of our Fun Runs.
Beyond all of her talents, Katie is simply fun to be around. She brings creativity, humor, positivity, and energy to everything she does. We’re incredibly lucky she decided to step up and share her talents with our PTA because her impact can be seen all around our school.
Artist. Designer. Photographer. Branding expert. Volunteer. Problem solver. Hype squad captain. Katie truly did it all.
Thank you for sharing your talent, creativity, and countless hours with our school community. You made PTA look cool, and more importantly, helped tell the story of all the amazing things happening at DEE.
We will miss you so much, Katie! ✨
