Executive Board Introductions

The 2024-2025 Executive Officers would like to introduce themselves to you!


Lanetria Luevano, Co-President

Hello, my name is Lanetria Luevano.  I was born and raised in Seattle. I have two children, a 10th grader at Nathan Hale and a 7th grader at JAMS. I joined the JAMS PTSA because I love working with people whose goal is to create a safe and welcoming space for all children by focusing on equity, diversity, and inclusion. I hope as the PTSA we can get more parent involvement and build more of a community with families.  Some of my favorite things to do outside of Pinehurst are spending time with my family and friends, trying out new restaurants, reading books (mostly thrillers), and watching movies.

Richard Newman, Co-Vice-President

Richard Newman (he/him)

I am Richard Newman, the parent of an 8th grader at Jane Addams Middle School. I have a professional background in public health and clinical research, along with a strong interest in environmental issues and urban horticulture. After serving on the PTA Board at my child’s elementary school for the past several years as the volunteer coordinator and co-secretary, I am excited to help out at JAMS for the next several years. As the parent of a student with special needs, and as an LGBTQ+ parent, I will forever strive to support and advocate for students & families navigating related issues.
