The PTO provides many programs and events throughout the school year. All parents, guardians and professional staff of Shamrock Springs are automatically members of the SSES PTO, and we invite you to share your time, talents, ideas and resources at any time. It’s through your dedication that the PTO exists to enhance our children’s lives and build a community we are all proud of. We hope you will be as proud of Shamrock Springs as we are!

Jen has been a resident of Westfield since 2021. She and her husband Adam wanted to bring their family back to their Midwest roots, after spending several years in Pennsylvania and Illinois. They have 3 daughters: Abby (WHS-10th grade), Hannah (WMS-8th grade), and Elizabeth (SSES-5th grade).
Professionally, Jen spent 10+ years as a chemical engineer for a variety of manufacturing companies and is now a senior manager with Accenture’s SAP data strategy & consulting practice since 2021. She is passionate about process improvement, solving problems, and loves a good spreadsheet ;)
