Our Board and Chairs

Leeann has three children at Memorial in Kindergarten, 2nd, and 4th grade. She brings her background in communications and marketing to support the school community. When she’s not helping with PTO, she’s behind the camera, trying to sneak in a good book, or spending time with her family at the beach, in the mountains, on the sidelines, or caddying for her kids on the golf course.

kelsey hampton • EVENTS CHAIR

Kelsey has four kids, a daughter in 2nd grade at Memorial, a daughter in 6th grade at Kennedy, a daughter at Natick Preschool and a little boy at home. When she isn’t PTO-ing she is working at the Natick Service Council where she is the Director of Volunteers. When she isn’t driving all over town, you can find her at the hockey rink or softball field cheering on her girls. With all the free time that’s left she loves to be at the beach with a good book and a cold drink!

JEN BURDON CULTURAL ARTS CHAIR

Jen has 1st grader at Memorial and a 5th and 6th grader at Kennedy.  In addition to Cultural Arts chair, she is currently the Secretary for Cub Scouts Pack 310.  When she isn’t coordinating enrichment activities, you can find her lifting weights, cheering for her kids on the sidelines, and enjoying the great outdoors in Maine.
