Meet The Board
Samantha Auch
President
Hello! For the past 3 years I have served as Copy Parent for the PTO but I am very excited for my new role as President! I've been married for 12 years and have two kiddos at Wilder-Waite, Allison (5th grade) and Ben (3rd grade). I also work full time at the school as a 1-on-1 aide.
Brianna Hoerr
Vice President
I am a parent of two kids at Wilder-Waite, Callum (2nd) and Adelaide (1st). After two years of helping with PTO, I am looking forwards to serving as Vice President. I previously taught 2nd grade in Dunlap, but now spend my time subbing at W-W, running and reading (when I have time). Fun Fact - I was a Wilder-Waite Wildcat myself! I'm excited to serve this awesome school, staff and families.
Ginger Kammeyer
Treasurer
Hi! I've been married to my husband, Elliot, for 10 years. My background is in exercise science/athletic training but I've been a Stay at Home Mom to our soon Declan (1st grade) for the past 6 years. I am an avid reader and enjoy spending time with my family and our dog, Kyah.
Allie Tetzloff
Secretary
Hi! I am a mom of 3 kids - a 3rd grader (Kendall), 1st grader (Raegan) and a 3yr old (Wade) future Wildcat. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 12 years, Aaron, an engineer at Caterpillar. I enjoy a good book, am a dedicated runner and a part-time nurse at OSF. Stop by and say Hi if you see me! I'm social and love meeting new people!

Erica Higgins
Copy Parent
I have two children at Wilder-Waite; Clara (3rd) and Connor (K). My husband, Tyler, is director of quality for Liberty Steel and we have been married for 11 happy years! I'm a band director by education and have spent years teaching and serving on my former school's board of directors, but have chosen to stay at home to dedicate all my love and energy to my joyful family. I love crafting, specifically crochet, knitting, and pyrography! I am happy to assist the PTO by being the copy parent this year!
