Gallup Hill School

Michelle Williams

Co-President

My name is Michelle, and I’m so excited to be serving as one of your PTO Co-Presidents this year. I work full-time at the United States Coast Guard Academy Library, and I’m also a proud mom of two amazing kids—Landon, who’s 5 (almost 6!) and heading into first grade, and Ella, who’s 8 and starting third grade. Outside of work and school, I stay busy as a Girl Scout leader and love spending time with my family outdoors. You can usually find us at the beach, playing games, cooking together, or out paddle boarding, kayaking, or camping whenever we get the chance. Being involved in the PTO is important to me because I believe in building strong connections between families, teachers, and our school community. I’m looking forward to helping organize fun events, supporting our teachers and staff, and creating more opportunities for everyone to feel welcomed and included.

Alissa Mahoney

Co-President

I enjoyed serving on the board as Treasurer for the 2024-2025 school year and am very excited to serve as Co-President for the 2025-2026 school year. I have one awesome kiddo, Alec in 2nd grade and one furbaby, Cooper, our 11 year old pup. I work full time for my family's green energy start up but love that I can make time to participate in the Gallup Hill PTO! I am originally from Louisiana but love to travel and experience new places. We have been in Ledyard since 2021 and are thrilled to be part of the Ledyard and Gallup Hill community. I am looking forward to helping guide the PTO this year and help make this school year a successful year for parents, students and staff.

Jessica Salvatore

Vice President

Hello! My name is Jess. I'm so excited to be a part of the PTO this year, esp since I work with the teachers and hopefully I can provide more insight from them on ideas that they have. I have two kids, a daughter who is going to be in second grade and my son is starting the STARS program. I work at the school as a para and I love it, I'm also a leader for one of the girl scout troops. Some things that I love to do are read, arts and crafts with the kids, going to Bluff Point for walks, and looking for sea glass at beaches while the kids look for shells. I love our community and working with all the kids.

Becky Watson

Treasurer

Hello, My name is Becky and I’m happy to be serving all Parents, Staff and Students this year on the PTO Board as Treasurer. I have 2 children attending the school this year, Iris in 2nd grade, Elora Kindergarten and I run my own business Ecstatic Treasures (Curate to sell antiques and vintage items). We have been residents of Ledyard since 2019, formerly a Navy family but now on the Civilian side. We are originally from KY and even though we miss our home state we love our community and the life we have established here. We love Gallup Hill and I’m excited for the upcoming year and serving you in the best ways possible.

Lauren Brundage

Secretary

I am so excited to be elected Secretary this year! I am a stay-at-home Mom and my husband, James, works for the National Coast Guard Museum. We have 4 children, Nora in 3rd grade, Daisy in Kindergarten, June in Pre-K, and Theo who is a year and a half. We are fairly new residents to Ledyard, having moved here from the Chicago suburbs almost 3 years ago. We knew nothing about southeastern Connecticut but have fallen in love with the town and area! I am also a Girl Scout Leader and enjoy baking, reading, and embroidering. As a family, we love to go to the beach! I am thrilled to be on the executive board this year and really looking forward to playing an active role in our school community.
