SARA FAUNCE

TREASURER
Hi, my name is Sara Faunce. My Husband and I have lived in Mission Viejo since 2012. Our son Andrew attends 8th Grade at La Paz Intermediate, and our daughter, Evelyn is a 2nd Grader at Montevideo. Our son started at Montevideo back in 2018 and we have always loved the sense of community that Montevideo offers. I joined the PTA because I have always been so thankful for the PTA staff that puts in so much work to make events and everyday life fun for the kids. Felt like it was time to give back! treasurer@montevideopta.org |

VP MEMBERSHIP
I am a Montevideo alum myself and I can’t say enough how fun it is to now have my 3 kids (6th, 4th, and 2nd) here to experience for themselves all the wonderful things about this school. When my oldest started at Montevideo, it was covid kindergarten and life was so different. No volunteering on campus, no class parties, no field trips, no fun school events. I will never forget that and I now take every chance I get to be involved at school and support the teachers & kids alike. I also think we have an amazing village of parents I’m proud to be a part of. membership@montevideopta.org |

SECRETARY
I’m excited to serve as Secretary for the Montevideo PTA for another year. I’m grateful for the opportunity to support our school community and help make a positive impact for our students, teachers, and families. This is my 3rd year serving on the board and I look forward to another great year at Montevideo! |
KALI CORGIAT

HISTORIAN
My name is Kali, and I have two kids, Eden in 7th and Kade in the SAI 2nd grade. When we first started at Montevideo, I was BLOWN AWAY with this school's level of participation and school pride. I knew I wanted to be a part of the PTA after I experienced the fantastic Halloween Trunk or Treat! I'm so glad to be the representative of the Special Education department as well, especially since my son is thriving in his specialized class. Go Mountaineers! |
KATIE ZULUETA

FINANCIAL SECRETARY
I grew up in Southern California and spent my summers going to the beach. My husband, oldest daughter and I moved to Mission Viejo 6 years ago. I enjoy traveling, riding my bike, golfing, and taking my two daughters to the beach. I joined the PTA so I could stay up to date about everything that is happening at Montevideo. |
SAM KELLEY

PARLIAMENTARIAN
I choose to be part of the PTA because I care deeply about being involved in my childrens education and school community. It also gives me a chance to build connections with other families, support our teachers, and help make school a place where all children feel encouraged and excited to learn. |
ANNAMARIA LODATO

ROOM PARENT COORDINATOR
I have loved being a PTA member for the past three years and am excited to start a fifth year as both of my children (Ophelia-Grade 4 and Everett-Grade 2) is attending Montevideo. It has been incredibly fulfilling to help bring new educational, family-oriented, and fun programming to our school as well as continuing to support the programs we already have. This year, I am looking forward to chairing our Room Parent program. rpcoordinator@montevideopta.org |
