Amber Adams, President

My name is Amber Adams and I am honored to be serving on the PTO board. Last year I was culture night chair and have been room mom for one of my kids for the past 12 years, I love being apart of my community. I have my degree in education from North Central College from Naperville, IL . I am a former teacher in Forsyth County. I have taught 1st, 4th and 5th grades. I love being in the school with the kids and can’t wait to make this an amazing year for all of your families. 

My husband, David and I have three kids.  Luke will be in 8th grade, Addison will be in 4th grade and Avery will be in 2nd.  As a family we love to travel and hang with our family that lives close by.  Outside of school our kids keep us very busy from travel baseball to competitive dance . I am looking forward to meeting the Sharon Families!! 

Suzy Sarkady, Treasurer

My husband Steve and I have four children, two human and two canine.  Our oldest daughter Sammie spent 6 wonderful years at Sharon and is on her way to middle school.  Our youngest daughter Erzsi will be in third grade this year.  Our two pups Millie and LuLu round out our crazy, loving family!  I am a proud graduate of Georgia Tech and I work full time in operations and finance at Northside Hospital.  I love to read, play tennis, and foster kittens whenever my husband will let me.

Anna Cahill, Secretary

My name is Anna Brown Cahill and I am honored to be serving as the PTO Secretary this year. I am a
proud mother of four. Two of my children, Nolan (1st grade) and Quinn (4th grade), are happy to be
Sharon Knights! My son, Jack, is a junior at South Forsyth High School and my eldest, Emma, is a
sophomore at Berry College. When we are not running between sporting events and extracurricular
activities, we enjoy spending as much time as possible at the lake, swimming and hiking with our golden
retriever, Josie.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree from The University of Georgia in Child and Family Development and a
Master’s degree from Brenau University in Early Childhood Education. I taught elementary school for 13
years in Gwinnett County before hanging up my teacher’s hat six years ago to join my family’s corporate
travel management business. (Talk about a career change!) I am excited to be spending more time back
in a school environment to support our amazing teachers, students, and administrators at Sharon!

Pauli Wade, Parliamentarian 

My name is Jessica LeMoine and I am excited to be serving on the Sharon PTO board this year as VP of Student Affairs.  This is my first year of being a part of the PTO but I was on the board in our previous elementary school for a number of years.  Our family moved to Suwanee, GA in the summer of 2019 from Stamford, CT to be closer to family (my sister lives across the street now!)

 

My husband Glenn and I have three children.  Our youngest, Ellyse, will be a 4th grader here at Sharon.  Our oldest son, Luke will be a Freshman at Lambert High and our middle son, Julian will be a 7th grader at Riverwatch Middle.  I am a graduate of Loyola University of New Orleans.  I spent 3 years in research at Ochsner Hospital in New Orleans.  Then after moving to New York I worked for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals for 6 years as a sales rep.  Then I became a domestic CEO after my kids were born.  I currently am loving being a real estate agent with Atlanta Fine Homes, Sotheby's International Realty.

 

My husband is a graduate of Tulane University.  He is a hedge fund trader and portfolio manager with Alpine Capital based in New York City.  We stay busy with all of our kids hectic schedules in travel baseball, football, soccer, and dance.  

 

 

 

My husband Jason and I have three children: Owen is in 1st grade, Allison is in Kindergarten, and Ethan is 3 years old. Our family moved from Oklahoma to Forsyth county in December 2021, and we are loving the community we've found here. We enjoy camping, hiking, and exploring all the fun areas available just a short drive from home. 

 

I have my Bachelor's degree in Education from Oklahoma State University and taught middle school Language Arts for six years until I left to stay home with our son. I am currently a freelance writer and the staff Grant Writer for Georgia Transplant Foundation. This year I served as the Cultural Night co-chair and a classroom mom. I know firsthand how hard teachers work, so I'm thrilled for the opportunity to get involved to support our teachers while impacting our kids' education.

 

Colleen Hight, VP Communications

 

We chose our home 15 years ago for the schools, and have had nothing but amazing teachers since our 2nd & 4th grader started at Sharon. I have had a number of different roles on PTO in the past (and I'm so glad I gave it a try!), and I love volunteering at Sharon and at our church. My husband Rob & I are both proud yellow jackets from Georgia Tech. He's a "hell of an engineer," and I run a boutique photography studio in Suwanee. Our family loves taking trips, cheering on our kids' sports games, roller coasters, game nights, Mario, and our sweet, slightly mischievous Beagle rescue.

 

Blake Banks, Volunteer Coordinator

My name is Blake Banks and I am so excited to be the Volunteer Coordinator for the Sharon PTO this year. My husband and I both grew up in Georgia, and love raising our family here. We are a new Sharon family- my daughter, Birdie, is in Kindergarten this year, and our other daughter, Bennett, is 3 and in preschool. We have loved our short time at Sharon, and feel so lucky to be part of this community. I can already tell it is a special place! I love helping people feel connected, and have already really enjoyed helping parents find a place to volunteer at the school. 

I graduated from the University of Georgia and now work at North Point Community Church in the Care Ministry. My husband, John, works in the building supply industry. Our family loves to travel to the beach and the lake, and I enjoy reading, cooking, and tennis! 

 

My Husband Harish and I met in college more than 22 years ago and have been married for 15 years now. We relocated from Hyderabad, India to Atlanta 14 years ago and made this our home - prior to that we lived in Leeds, UK for a couple of years where we got our masters degree. Before moving to the Forsyth county, we have spent almost 8 years in the beautiful Alpharetta area. My older son, Ahaan - now an 8th grader at Riverwatch middle, has been lucky to have exposed to Sharon elementary and the wonderful staff for 4 years. My younger son Sid - a 1st Grader with Mrs. Craig equally enjoys his time at Sharon now. We are an outdoor loving family who travel a lot, play tennis, hike over the weekends, and in the pool.

 

I head the Global IT Procurement at Kimberly Clark - where the people culture strongly resonates with my personality. I am also a passionate portrait photographer when I have spare time and love doing family & kids portraits. I have a strong IT background and I am looking forward to serving on the board and supporting our school over the coming years.
