Rebecca Taylor

 

 

PRESIDENT - Rebecca Taylor
PresidentHSC@osterhsc.org

 

I am the mom of two current Oster students (Amelia in 5th grade, Adelyn in 1st grade) and one alumni (Audrey 7th grade) now at Dartmouth. I’m not afraid of getting my hands dirty (literally) as I was selected as the 2018-2019 Oster Volunteer of the year for my leadership in the revitalization of the garden. To do this, I spent hours writing grants, getting district approvals, creating plans, purchasing materials, organizing volunteers, and physically working in our new kindergarten and upper-grade gardens. Prior to “digging in” at Oster, I was a Process Engineer at Boeing and have held leadership positions at local non-profits. I not only love to see plants blossom and grow but also the community of Oster Elementary.  

 

 

CO-VICE PRESIDENT - Nicole Perakis

I am the mom of three boys. I have a 9th grader at Branham, a 6th grader at Dartmouth and a 4th grader at Oster. I have been a part of the Oster community for 9 years. I have been involved with Project Cornerstone and Art Vistas, as well as helping in the classroom whenever possible. I have also been assisting with school picture day for the last 3 years. I am excited to be a part of the new board and hope to foster more community engagement with the Home and School Club. I’m looking forward to seeing more fun activities return to our campus for the kids and families to enjoy.

Heading into my 6th year as an Oster parent - 5th grader Pippa and 2nd grader Ainsley - I am excited to take advantage of the extra time afforded by working from home to become more engaged in the Oster community. My working life is dedicated to creating affordable housing opportunities for low-income people, most recently at nonprofits in fundraising, investor relations, and communications roles. Outside of work I love spending time with my girls, watching movies, reading, hiking, and catching up with friends.
