Room Coordinator
So what is the PTO anyway?
We are so glad you asked!
We are a team of parents dedicated to uniting our school's students, staff and families! Our goal is to bring everyone together as a team supporting one another. Throughout the year we manage family friendly activities, fundraising, events, and give back to our students and teachers.

You will notice many of our volunteers hold more than one role. We are always looking for handy helpers like you to bring new ideas and inspiration! Be sure to send us an email to learn more about how you can get involved!

Hello! My name is Christina Morales. I have 4 boys and 3 currently attend Wilder Waite. I'm a nurse by trade but now a SAHM. I've been married for 13 years. This is my 8th year as a Wildcat mom!
I am a parent of two kids at Wilder-Waite. Our oldest attends Boylan HS in Rockford. I'm excited to help our families show their Wildcat school spirit with new and fan favorite products. I've been married to Scott for 10 years. Outside of being a mom & wife I'm an engineering manager at Caterpillar & love to help kids learn more about STEM.
I am a parent of two kids at Wilder-Waite, Callum (3rd) and Adelaide (2nd). 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.

Hi there! I am a mom of 2 kiddos, Layla (6) and Graham (4). My husband Michael and I both are from the area and decided to settle here in 2021. Before becoming a stay at home mom I was a 3rd grade teacher & then a teacher at the Children’s Hospital. I can’t wait to be a part of spoiling the wonderful teachers who make Wilder Waite such a special place.
Hi, I'm Blair. I'm a mom of three kids and a dog. My husband John and I are both Central Illinois natives, and we've lived in Dunlap for 10 years. Our oldest, Wells, is a 6th grader at Dunlap Valley. Our Wildcats, Cru and Maeve, are 2nd graders. I love this busy season of life supporting my kids in their education, hobbies, and sports. I've always enjoyed volunteering and serving, and I'm looking forward to my new role as Staff Appreciation Coordinator. I'm excited to team with other Wildcat parents to celebrate our staff's hard work and the impact they have on our kids.
