2022-2023 PTA Officers Welcomes You
Dear Dorothy J Vaughn Families,
I want to take a minute to introduce the Parent Teacher Association (PTA). We are a volunteer organization working within schools to positively impact our scholars and families. I joined the PTA because I wanted to be a part of that mission. We provide the resources for our teachers to have a room parent and staff appreciation events, for students to have access to extra art programs, assemblies and themed weeks, and we love to provide events throughout the year that enrich our students’ experience at DJV.
PTA is able to provide these events and resources through your membership, participation in fundraisers, and volunteers of all kinds. Our school is strong because our families are involved. Coming off of a very unique year for DJV we are hoping that we can function as normal as we possibly can. We would love for each family to find a way in which they can be involved this year at DJV
I hope you will consider getting involved this year by becoming a member and coming together as a community so that we can provide our children the best school experience possible. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch this year with myself or any of the officers on our board. We would love to help you find your perfect spot at DJV.
All the Best!
Erica Stroman
PTA President

Erica Stroman, MBA
Who is she?
A native of Bennettsville, SC, Erica has resided in Charlotte since 2012. She and her husband are the parents of Xavier who will be entering 1st grade at DJV for the 2021-2022 school year. Erica holds an MBA and works within Higher Education as a leader supporting organizations efforts to retain and develop their talent through tuition assistance. As a strong advocate of education and entrepreneurship, Erica hopes to use her both her professional and nonprofit experience as a member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc., to support others, build relationships, and drive community values. Why she is serving? As a mother of a young child, she understands that parent engagement is a vein that is instilled early on in education. It is in that spirit that she chose to run for a position on the board as soon as Xavier received a seat at DJV. “I understand the value of education and I understand what’s at stake. I am committed to ensuring that my child along with all others have a chance for exposure for their full potential. That only happens with dedicated parents that are willing to partner with teachers, administration, and other stakeholders to get the job done!” I look forward to a productive school year! |
