Treasurer
Michel Vezina
Hello! My Name is Michel Vezina and I am the Co-Treasurer for the EES PTCO for this school year. I have two children at EES, Louis (8) is in 3rd grade and has been attending EES since preschool. My daughter Lillian (5) is in kindergarten. Both of them just love the school, their teachers, and the events and programs put on by the PTCO.
We moved to Erie from Denver in October 2018. Ever since first bringing Louis to school here shortly after we moved to Erie, I've always had such a great feeling about the school and the community, and wanted to be more involved in some way, which led to volunteering for the PTCO. It's a pleasure and privilege to work with people that are so dedicated to making the school a better place for teachers, parents, and the children.

Co-Diversity Coordinator
Dana Stein
Dana Stein
Hi! I’m Dana Stein and I’m excited to be Co-Diversity Coordinator of the Erie Elementary PTCO! I am married to Josh, a biomedical engineer, and mom to Evan, a 3rd grader, & our cat Timmy Ryan. After living for 10 years in the NYC/NJ area (I’m originally from D.C. and my husband from FL), we moved to Erie, CO, a place only I had ever see during a 48-hour visit, and it was love at first sight for all of us.
By day I am an account manager for a public relations agency in tech, and by night (when life allows!) you can find me being an enthusiastic Erie Rec sports mom (soccer - which my husband coaches, football, baseball, and basketball, thus far!), volunteering through the Boulder JCC, or participating as a family in outdoor activities (skiing, biking, hiking, paddle boarding, you name it!).
I love cold brew, IPAs and wine, Fitness Underground, a great book (or reality TV depending on the mood), and being part of such an amazing, welcoming, inclusive Erie Elementary community!

Hi! I'm Micah, and I'll be serving as the volunteer coordinator this year on the PTCO Board. This is my second year in this position and I'm so excited to see the benefits and develop the groups of parents that want to be involved in their kids school experience.
When my husband Dave and I moved to Erie 8 years ago we happened to stumble upon such a wonderful community and I feel so lucky to be here. I have 2 kids (Caroline and Nico) at Erie Elementary in 5th and 3rd grade and we've been proud to be a part of Erie Elementary for 7 years now - time flies!
For fun, my husband Dave, the girls and I love to spend lots of time outside doing all the Colorado favorites like camping and hiking. For work I manage a coffee shop in Boulder, I fell in love with being a barista and the community that coffee shops provide when I was 15 year old and could never tear myself away.
My goal this year is to make volunteering for events fun, accessible, and simple for every single person and I cannot wait to get started.
