President
Marybeth Broadbent
Marybeth is excited to serve the JOES PTA as President this year. Her goal is to support the school and the PTA however possible in the upcoming year.
She has three kids - a first grader at JOES, a three year old, and a two year old. When not wrangling those three or at work, Marybeth likes board games, knitting, and hiking. She also enjoys camping, and took her kids camping for the first time as part of the JOES Spring camping trip in 2026!
Vice President
Veronica Gray
As a JOES parent, I look forward to helping create a warm and welcoming environment for our school community. When I’m not wrangling my own kiddos or juggling after-school schedules, you can usually find me on the tennis courts learning how to play a sport as an adult, or training with other former JOES moms for a half marathon.
From supporting events to coordinating opportunities for connection, my goal is to help families, teachers, and staff feel appreciated and supported. I look forward to serving our school and PTA this year, and to be one of the many friendly faces welcoming new families into our community.

When Jessica is not busy keeping things organized as the JOES PTA Secretary, she can often be found capturing life's moments through photography, indulging in cheese plates, or doing something crafty.
