Meet Tanisha Moyer! She is the mother of 7th grader, Matthias. She and her husband, Rob, are both active parent volunteers. This school year, Tanisha is the Chair of the AJC Parents' Association AND an AJC Board Member.
Why did you accept the invitation to be the Parents' Association Chair?
It was solely based on my personal experience with the group last year. Being able to convey important information to parents from teachers and staff is extremely important and sometimes our babies don't understand how important it is and will not provide that information. And to work with the parents and relay their thoughts and feelings to the Parents' Association is just as important and I wanted to be a part of that process.
How have you seen AJC grow and strengthen its "community of affection" over the years?
Over the last few years I've personally witnessed the growth that AJC has with the community. For the last two years at the fish fry I've seen more families from the larger community come out to support our AJC family. The community has opened their arms to AJC and so have we.
What are your goals for the Parents' Association this year?
My goal this year is to reach out to every parent to express the urgency of their voice. The Parents' Association at AJC is not your normal PTA that's held at other schools. The leadership truly cares and truly wants to hear the thoughts and opinions of the parents. Without our parents, there wouldn't be any students, and without the students, there is no AJC.
Is there anything you wish more people knew about AJC?
I wish many people knew the love and dedication that our Parents' Assocation, teachers, and staff pour into our babies everyday. We all may notice the front line action on a day-to-day basis. But to witness the behind the scenes work they put in would amaze a lot of people. That's another reason why I've chosen to be a part of this great Association. I've seen it first hand.
