Jenny Alfrey
President
My name is Jenny Alfrey and my husband Brett and I have two girls awesome children: Honor is in 5th grade at Valor and Maggie is in 3rd grade at PPE. I was thrilled and honored to join the PPE Executive Board so that I could give back to this awesome community and school. After volunteering last year I wanted to do more and I especially love meeting new wonderful people every day through this work. Outside of helping the PTO I am a Marketing Director for a biotech company and travel for work (and fun!) often. My favorite PPE event is a new one – the Tiger Dash Color Run! What a unique community event that combined fun and color and I can’t wait for this year’s run.
