Vanika Reed
My name is Vanika Reed and I’m seeking the Vice Secretary position with GCA PTSO. I have four children my oldest is a senior at Georgia State and my third oldest is a sophomore at SCAD. This is my first year at GCA I have twins in the sixth grade. Through the past twenty years I have always been an active PTA member and I understand the importance of parental involvement. I served as PTA Secretary of Edward L. Bouie Theme Elementary School 2014-2015 and Vice President 2015-2016. The last two years I helped bring much needed funding to Edward L. Bouie Theme Elementary School which went directly back into the classrooms. I enjoyed working with parents, teachers, staff and students to bring fun and exciting events to Edward L. Bouie Elementary. Before becoming a stay -at-home mom I worked for over twenty years as a Network Engineer. I am thankful for the wonderful education and environment GCA provides and feel I could bring to the Board the dedication I have toward not only my own children, but the community involvement required in supporting all students. I look forward to the opportunity to become a more active participant at GCA.

I am a Parent and Learning Coach in the GCA family. GCA has been a phenomenal opportunity, as well as a great place for us to learn and grow. My sons have attended GCA since kindergarten, and are now ALP 6th graders. I Love GCA -- they Love it! And it is because of my sons, that I am committed, motivated, and passionate everyday about supporting, and continuing to make GCA the Best place to "BE". I would like to extend my passion, and commitment further by serving on the PTSO Executive Board as Vice Secretary during the 2016-17 school year. It would be an honor to have your support by casting your ballot for me. Thank you!
