Parent Teacher Fellowship Celebrates and Welcomes New Leadership

The St. Margaret’s Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) celebrated the successes of the 2025–2026 school year and welcomed new leadership this week during the annual New Board/Old Board Brunch held in the Cloobeck Family Atrium.

The event recognized a year of service, community-building and philanthropy led by outgoing PTF President Kari De Vries, while ushering in the 2026–2027 leadership team under incoming President Kristina Chatow. 

St. Margaret’s Head of School Dr. Jeneen Graham and Executive Director of Advancement Jonathan Tufo reflected on the impact of the PTF throughout the year, thanking parent volunteers for their dedication to supporting students, faculty and the broader St. Margaret’s community.

Throughout the school year, the PTF organized a variety of signature events and programs, including the Forever Plaid All-School Fundraiser, the Library Luncheon and the Tartan Family BBQ. Many of these initiatives directly support the PTF Grant Enrichment Program, which provides funding for resources and experiences that enhance student learning across all divisions.

The brunch concluded with Mrs. De Vries officially swore in Mrs. Chatow as the PTF’s new president. In her opening remarks, Christina emphasized the importance of togetherness and collaboration in the year ahead and introduced president-elect Meredith Curran. 

The celebration marked another successful year for the PTF and honored the many parent volunteers whose time and commitment continue to strengthen the St. Margaret’s community.
