Jessica Teston - President I'm currently a 5th grade teacher here at Collins and in my 18th year of teaching. I'm a proud Tampa native, avid runner, HUGE Buccaneers fan, and enjoy the beach. My family consists of my husband Trey of 21 years and our (many) fur-babies. I'm excited to join the Collins family and have been welcomed with open arms. I have several years of experience as PTSA President and look forward to all the amazing things we have planned for our school and community. |
Beve DeMott - Treasurer I am a mom of twin 5th graders and an 10th grader. I have been a Collins parent since 2015 and currently working in the the front office. This is my fourth year serving on the PTSA, I wanted to join PTSA because I wanted to be more involved as a parent to support the teachers, staff, and students. I love our community and our school and wanted to give back any way I can. I love to read on my spare time. |
Brenda Snee - Recording Secretary I am a mother of two, my daughter is going into the 9th grade and my son is going into the 6th grade. We have loved Collins ever since my daughter started here in Kindergarten. I am a SAHM that loves volunteering at the school. This will be my 5th year as part of the PTSA. I have 2 very active kiddos that love soccer and dance. In our free time, when we are not at the soccer field or a dance competition, my family loves going to the beach, swimming, boating, and hanging out with friends and family. I am looking forward to this year and can’t wait for all the fun times at the new Collins PK-8!! |
