Kristen Gonzalez and her daughter have been attending GCDC for the past two school years. She has been a room parent for those two school years, starting in the Little Discoveries classroom, and now in the Milky Way classroom. She loves to see all the little ones learn and grow as little people and have ensured that she stays involved as much as possible to foster the educational vision and values of GCDC. She has served on a few subcommittees as part of the PAC, including the STAW committee (SY23-24), the Fundraising committee (SY24-25), and led the 2025 Fun Run. She wants to continue advocating for parent participation and open communication between the PAC, families, teachers, and staff. Aside from being a parent and active PAC member, I work as a program analyst at the US Census Bureau.
Dr. Jessica Erlingis Lamers is an assistant research scientist at the University of Maryland – College Park and a member of the Hydrological Sciences Laboratory at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. She works on the development of NASA’s Land Information System, modeling the surface water and energy budgets for a variety of research topics including groundwater sustainability planning in California, drought assessment in Colorado, and agricultural applications. In her free time, she enjoys spending time outdoors, reading, theater, sports, and walking the family dog.
Jessica has two children: one currently attending GCDC and one with an anticipated enrollment of Summer 2024. She served as the room parent in Shooting Stars for the second semester of the 2023-2024 school year and looks forward to continuing her involvement with the GCDC community. As a board member, Jessica hopes to emphasize organization, communication, and recruitment at GCDC.
