And finally our VP:

Hi! My name is Madison Dunifer, and I’m excited to serve as your Thomas Jefferson PTO Board Vice President this year! Last year, I had the privilege of serving as PTO President at Emerson Hough, and I’ve loved volunteering my time over the years at both Emerson Hough and Thomas Jefferson.

My husband, Alex, and I are both Newton natives, and we love raising our family in this wonderful community. We have four daughters: Elowyn (3rd grade), Vada (Kindergarten), and our identical twin toddlers, Rory and Rhyan (2½ years old), who definitely keep us on our toes!

Professionally, I work full-time for Edward Jones and also serve as an event planner for Gezellig Brewing Co., so I enjoy bringing people together and helping create memorable experiences.

I’m looking forward to working alongside Jayn, Abbie, and Melany to support our students, staff, and families. I’m excited for a fun and successful school year and can’t wait to get to know even more of our TJ community!
