Co- President - Alex Reed

This is my second year serving as Co-President of the PTO Executive Board. I currently have a child in fifth grade and one in second grade. I have a previous career in marketing, advertising and branding. I took time off to be home full-time with the kids, and have recently returned to part-time work serving various roles in Aquatics. In the past, I have chaired Phoenix Fun Day and Run Club, as well as been a homeroom helper and a regular volunteer for PTO events. I love the Chestnutwold community, and all that we are able to offer - I look forward to contributing to and continuing the great work of the PTO.

 Co- President - Katie Guarino

Hello! My name is Katie and this will be my first year serving as Co-President of the PTO Executive Board. I currently have one child in Kindergarten at Chestnutwold, along with three older children who do not attend Chestnutwold. I’ve spent my career working in PR, events, and social media, but have always had a love for volunteering and helping out wherever I could. I love being a part of the community at Chestnutwold and I want to continue to make my child's elementary school experience phenomenal through the incredible work that the PTO does. Let’s continue the fun and success for many more years!

 Co-Treasurer - Casey Sacchetti

This is my third year on the PTO executive board. I previously served two years as Treasurer and Vice President of Clubs. I have 3 children - Kennedy is in fifth grade and twins, Cameron and Carter, are in second grade.

I love being a part of the Chestnutwold community and am excited to continue to support our amazing school!

Co-Treasurer - Emily Petrosky

Hi! I am looking forward to my first year on the PTO Executive Board and am happy to be on the team as Co-Treasurer. I have been an educator in the School District of Philadelphia for the last 19 years and most currently work as an ELA Academic Coach in a K-8 school. My children are in the 1st, 3rd and 5th grades at Chestnutwold and am thankful each day for the wonderful education and supportive community they are provided. I am excited to be a part of the PTO and give back to our amazing school!

 Vice President of In School Activities - Lauren Weintraub

My family and I relocated from Brooklyn in August 2023.  My son will be in the fifth grade during the 2025-2026 school year. He is not shy at admitting that he likes Pennsylvania better than New York, and even the Phillies better than the Yankees! Thanks to the opportunities provided by Chesnutwold and the PTA, we immediately felt part of this incredible community. We attended the welcome picnic, and I volunteered during Chesnutwold Day and MLK Jr. Day of Service. My son has thrived academically and socially this year. My husband and I have found fellow parents to be friendly and welcoming. With a full time job in Philadelphia, it is challenging to attend every school event. However, by serving on the executive board, I look forward to planning fun and informative in-school events.

Vice President of Events- Jasmine Mazzola

This is my first year serving as Vice President of Events on the PTO board. I have 2 children attending Chestnutwold, Preston in 5th grade and Paige in 3rd. I love being a part of my children's school lives by supporting as a Homeroom Helper or by participating on a committee like Trunk or Treat and Bag Bingo. My kids love the school and I want to help make their school a great experience both during the day and after school hours. I currently supervise special education compliance and interventions for a charter school in Philadelphia. I am excited to join the Chestnutwold PTO!

 Vice President of Clubs - Sandy McManus

This is my first year serving as the Vice President of Clubs for our PTO. My husband and I and our three children (8th grader at HMS, 4th grader and 3rd grader at Chestnutwold) have been members of the CWold community for many years and I have previous volunteered with the PTO as Cochair of the Welcome Families Event and as a homeroom helper. When I am not with my family, I work as an environmental attorney. Our family is grateful for the sense of community at Chestnutwold and the many wonderful memories that we have made at PTO events and I look forward to helping maintain our community and provide other families with similar opportunities.

 Secretary - Brittany Bisceglia

This is my first time joining the PTO Executive Board, where I’ll be serving as Secretary My son will be in 3rd grade at Chestnutwold and my family and I love being part of this community. I grew up in Delaware County, spent nearly a decade in Brooklyn, and moved to Ardmore in 2020. Despite living in PA, my son and husband are still die-hard Yankees fans. Since my son started kindergarten at Chestnutwold, I’ve volunteered as a Homeroom Helper and spent the past two years leading the Art Club. Professionally, I’m a Director of Product Management at an education technology company, helping teams manage web content for university partners. I also served on the board of my company’s Parent and Caregiver Business Resource Network, advocating for working parents and caregivers. I look forward to contributing to Chestnutwold through the PTO and becoming even more involved in this wonderful community!
