Franklin Academy Pembroke Pines K-8
PTO Officer Election: Fundraising & Events Coordinator
RENJU NAIR
My name is Renju Nair, and I am the proud parent of a Franklin Academy student. I am excited to be considered for the PTO Board position of Event & Fundraiser Coordinator.
Professionally, I was working with the banking sector in India for more than 20 years and now with New York life Insurance for the last 1 year of experience in financial planning, client service, project coordination, and community engagement. Throughout my career, I have worked closely with families, helping them plan for their goals while building strong relationships based on trust, communication, and service.
Beyond my professional career, I have been actively involved in community organizations, including the Kerala Samajam of South Florida, The Hindu Samajam, and various volunteer initiatives. I am also an active cricket player with the South India Tuskers in the South Florida Premier League, where teamwork, leadership, and collaboration are essential.
As a parent, I believe that schools thrive when parents, teachers, and staff work together to create a positive and enriching environment for our children. If elected, I will bring my experience in planning, organization, teamwork, and community building to help coordinate memorable events, strengthen parent involvement, and support successful fundraising initiatives that benefit our students and school community.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and support. I look forward to serving and contributing to the Franklin Academy family.
MICHELLE SMITH
My name is Michelle Smith, and I am a proud mom to Alexandria and Scarlett, who have been part of the Franklin family since 2020. Over the years, I have enjoyed being actively involved as a room mom and team mom, helping organize events and create memorable experiences for students and families.
I am passionate about event planning and fundraising, and I enjoy bringing people together to support our school. Whether coordinating school events, family activities, or fundraising initiatives, I love creating opportunities that build school spirit, strengthen community connections, and benefit our students and teachers.
Most importantly, I want to continue giving back to the Franklin community. I value the relationships, teamwork, and sense of belonging that make Franklin so special, and I would be honored to help support future events and fundraising efforts that enhance the experience for all students and families.
