I am excited parents about my 25th year in leading Ambler for the upcoming 24-25 school year. I am very proud of my outstanding staff which includes talented teachers and wonderful support staff. My awesome Leadership Team includes AP Brandi Roberts, RC Courtney Vaughan, and Rise Facilitator Kim Wilson. We have sweet Ambler children who work hard to please their parents and teachers. We have wonderful parents who support our teachers. We have a strong PTO Leadership Team headed up by Kala Ward. Also on the Board include Adair Nations, Keni Kelly, Savannah Corn, Rosie Merck, and Dana Lyda. Together we All Shine at Ambler as we build a Strong Foundation to prepare our Students for Middle School.
