PTSA Board of Directors

Kelly earned her Master’s in Education and Curriculum Design from the University of Florida, but somehow married a Florida State Seminole (Go Gators!). She spent eight years as an elementary school teacher and now works as a curriculum writer. Kelly is passionate about helping our Owls achieve their goals and supporting the amazing teachers and staff at Carrollwood K-8. Kelly has previously served as CK-8 PTSA Secretary, Holiday Shop Co-Chair, Teacher Appreciation Week Co-Chair, Hospitality Committee Manager, and Homeroom Parent —doubling up this year for both her first and third grader. Outside of volunteering, she can often be found creating color-coded spreadsheets to stay organized, making something on her Cricut, cheering on her sons as a proud Coach’s wife and Team Mom for Forest Hills Baseball, or relaxing with a good Elin Hilderbrand book. Kelly looks forward to the year ahead, supporting our Owls and helping to create fun and meaningful events, fundraisers and programs that reflect Every Owl, Every Voice. 

Brenda is a University of Florida graduate (Go Gators!) with a Bachelor's degree in Design. She has previously served as an Executive Board Member at Bowman Academy for the past three years, contributing to various initiatives that supported both students and faculty. This past year she also held positions as a CK-8 PTSA Vice President, Holiday Shop Co-Chair, Teacher Appreciation Week Co-Chair, and Homeroom Parent. Brenda loves decorating and planning events that create memorable experiences for our school community. Outside of volunteering, she works as a graphic designer and is a busy parent to a third grader and a kindergartener. In her spare time, she loves working with her husband on home renovations, attending OC neighborhood events, and shuttling her kids between flag football games, Forest Hills baseball, and dance at Mary Jo's Performing Arts Academy. Brenda is excited for another amazing year at Carrollwood K-8 and can't wait to bring new ideas to the PTSA board this year!

Erin is a proud graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, though she somehow ended up in Florida after meeting a Seminole (we’ll let that slide… Go Tar Heels!). By day, she leads the national account strategy for Ferguson Enterprises, focusing on private equity-backed consolidators in the multi-trade space. Translation - she spends her time analyzing data, building sales strategies, and managing budgets… often while dancing backwards in high heels (Jordan’s, to be exact). Outside of work, Erin is all about family and staying active, whether it’s running, golfing, boating, skiing, or jumping into the next new adventure. She has served as Secretary for Forest Hills Baseball, Commerce Chair for Ferguson’s Veteran Business Resource Group, a Parks & Recreation Advisory Board member, and a board member for Entryway, a nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals transition from situational homelessness into stable careers. Erin is excited to serve on the PTSA board and looks forward to supporting students, faculty, and families while helping maximize the school’s network to bring enriching programs and opportunities to Carrollwood K-8.

Mrs. Stover is extremely grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Principal of Carrollwood K-8 School. As she enters her eighth year as an administrator at Carrollwood K-8, she is excited about the upcoming school year and continuing to ensure CK-8 is a place for opportunity and where students want to be. Becoming an OWL at Carrollwood K-8 School has enlightened her to what a community school is all about. Faculty and staff, community businesses and PTSA, families and parents, and dedicated volunteer groups come together with one goal in mind...to support the whole child. We are ONE. We believe! We are Responsible, Respectful, and Safe! We are the OWLS!
