Co-President: Gabriela Northrup

I am very excited to be a part of the PTSA this year and join forces with Heather. I truly value the incredible work the PTSA has done for Bell, which has enriched the lives of my own children as well as our entire community. I look forward to being a part of what goes on behind the scenes and supporting the many ways the PTSA enhances our school community and teachers.

I have been a long time elementary school teacher, and left the classroom to raise my children. I look forward to someday heading back into the classroom full time, for now I am spending my time subbing at Bell and coaching a girls select soccer team. I have two children Sage (4th) and Willow (1st) who have both had an exceptional experience at Bell.

I’m thrilled to be part of a great group of women committed to supporting our school. Looking forward to a fantastic year ahead!

Mindy is mom to a 2nd grader (Jack) and kindergartener (Jamie). This is her second year on the Bell PTSA Board. Mindy's dayjob is Vendor Management, but she's much happier spending time with her family at youth sporting events, hiking, watching the Seahawks, crocheting or playing games. She loves living in Kirkland and being part of the Bell community and is looking forward to being more involved in the school this year.

Secretary: Charlene Dy

Charlene loves the Bell community. She's got a son in 2nd grade and a daughter who is excited to become a Bulldog in a couple years. She's worked in corporate governance and appreciates a well-run meeting...but mostly joined the PTSA as an excuse to hang out with all the other great Bell volunteers this year. You can sometimes find her and her kids on the playground after school with a loaf of banana bread for sharing.

Co-VP - Community Events: Shaina Green

I'm a mom to a lively 1st grader, Caleb, and a 6th-grade former Bulldog, Ezra -- with a household rounded out by my husband, Jon, and cat, Ollie. By day, I navigate the thrilling world of market research. After years of "off-and-on" volunteering, I'm excited to officially join the PTSA board and bring our Bell events to life. When not wrangling kids or data, I'm usually found with friends, family, or a good book.
