PTO Board 2026-2028

Our Mission

President -
Jenn McGraw

I am honored to serve as PTO President at my son’s elementary school. As a parent and active member of the school community, I am passionate about creating a welcoming, supportive environment where students, teachers, and families feel connected and valued.

 

With a background in education and a strong commitment to community involvement, I enjoy bringing people together, supporting our teachers and staff, and creating fun opportunities for families to engage with our school.

 

Outside of the PTO, I am a real estate broker and an active volunteer in my community. Most importantly, I am a proud parent who believes that when families and schools work together, our students thrive.

Co Vice President -
Sara Mueller

Hi, I’m Sara Mueller and I’m thrilled to join the PTO board as one of your co-vice presidents. I am a stay at home mom to two daughters, a 2nd grader and kindergartener, both enrolled in the dual immersion program. My husband and I are North Carolina natives, though we moved to Mooresville in 2017. Our family loves exploring local culture, whether it’s food trucks downtown, Cannonballers’ baseball games, or the Carolina Ren Faire. I joined the PTO because I believe involved parents are important for happy teachers and successful students. I want to encourage other families to be involved too. Lake Norman Elementary is part of our home and I am so excited to serve our school and community.

Hi! I’m Mandie, and I’m excited to serve as the Treasurer for the Lake Norman Elementary PTO. I married my high school  sweetheart, Drew, and we have two children at LNE in the DI program—one in 3rd grade and one in 5th grade.

 

We’ve called Mooresville home for the past 10 years, and we truly love this community and everything that makes Lake Norman Elementary such a special place. By profession, I’m an interior designer, however I currently work part-time for our church in Davidson.

I’m passionate about supporting our students, teachers, and families, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to give back to the school that has meant so much to our family. I look forward to working alongside our amazing PTO and helping make this another fantastic year at LNE!
