Greetings, Pointers Run Elementary School community! I am Bhumika Parikh, and I am thrilled to serve as your newly elected PTA President. As a dedicated parent with two wonderful children, Aarav and Jeeya Parikh, I have been actively involved in the PTA for several years. I previously held the position of Kindergarten Welcome Chair for three years, and for the past two years, I volunteered and actively participated in all PTA events.
Throughout my professional career, I have honed my leadership skills, having held leadership roles at work for over eight years. What truly inspires me is our children’s education and success, which is why I took on the responsibility of PTA President. I have a passion for organizing and leading social activities and professional projects, and I am determined to bring that same enthusiasm and dedication to our school community.
Having grown up in Baltimore County and being native to the DMV area, I have a strong connection to our community. Beyond my role in education, I have other interests as well. I am a proud fan of the Baltimore Ravens football team and the Baltimore Orioles baseball team, and I am always excited to support our local sports.
In terms of my educational background, I pursued my studies at UMBC, earning both a Master’s in Biology and a Master’s in Education. While my teaching experience was relatively short, teaching 9th-grade biology around 12 years ago, it ignited my passion for education and fostering a positive learning environment.
As the PTA President, my main goal is to work together with parents, teachers, and students to create an inclusive and thriving school community. I believe that strong family-school partnerships are vital in nurturing our children’s growth and academic achievements. Let’s collaborate to provide enriching programs and events that enhance our children’s educational experiences and inspire them to reach new heights.
I am incredibly excited and humbled to lead our PTA this year. With your support and active involvement, I am confident that we can make this school year truly memorable and rewarding for every student at Pointers Run Elementary School.
Together, let’s foster a supportive and engaging learning environment that empowers our children to succeed and flourish!
