2022-23 Board

Bonner PTO Board 2022-2023

President - Gina Pagani

Hi, my name is Gina Pagani and I am your PTO president for the 2022-23 school year at Bonner. I am mom to Lily in the fourth grade; this is our fifth year at Bonner. PTO serves to enrich the Bonner campus experience for everyone. From Family Nights to Popcorn Fridays, we aim to offer something for everyone. While we are gearing up to bring you some of our classics, Fall Fest, Holiday Shop, and Movie Night, PTO is excited to introduce some new activities and re-imagined events, like Bobcat Bingo Night and VIP Breakfasts.

We are super excited for this year. PTO is a great group of parent and friend volunteers who support the kids and teachers that offer so much of themselves. We encourage everyone who is able to join us for events at the school and in the community.

Vice President - Carmen Herciag

Carmen Hirciag is the PTO Vice President. She has been at Bonner since 2020, when her youngest started kindergarten. Carmen has two children at the school and is very passionate about kids’ education and success.

Treasurer - Eleni Papakiristis

Greetings Bobcats! Our family joined the Bonner crew in April of 2021 as we relocated to Las Vegas from Seattle, WA. My partner and I have 3 daughters, our oldest is now a 2st grader at Bonner and our twin 4 year olds are in the pre-k program. I am a principal software director for Microsoft and love working in technology. We are an outdoor and active family that loves all the outdoor opportunities Vegas has to offer. I look forward to being part of the PTO! 

Fundraising - Donita Day

Hi! My name is Donita Day. I am a wife, a mom to two awesome kiddos and work part-time as a stylist. This is my sixth year as a Bonner mom. Our son is a 5th grader, and our daughter is in Kinder. I have been a member of the PTO and our son's class mom every year and have loved every moment of being involved in our amazing school. My passions include cooking, planning parties, traveling and cheering on our Golden Knights.

I am excited to serve on the PTO board this year and look forward to all of our great Bonner events!

Secretary - Melissa Weinstein

My name is Melissa Weinstein and I am the Bonner PTO secretary. This is my 7th year serving on the Bonner PTO. I joined PTO when my 7th grader was in kindergarten. I currently have a Bonner Bobcat in fifth grade. I enjoy being part of PTO and helping out with as many school events as my schedule will allow. I look forward to a great year back at school.

Hospitality - Abby Joseph 

I’m Abby Joseph. I have 3 children. Remi is in 4rd grade and Drew is in 2nd grade at Bonner. I also have Dax who is a sophomore at Palo. We have lived in Summerlin for 12 years (moved from Colorado!) I love to read, exercise, cook, and spend time with friends and family. I thoroughly enjoy participating in anything Bonner related! This school year I am leading the Hospitality Committee for our PTO. 

Community Coordinator - Liz Ford

Hi, my name is Liz Ford.  I have been at Bonner a lonnnng time and know what it is like to be new to a school!  Jewel is the last of my littles and in 5th grade.  My motto is always the same: Just show up! Be present! Be there to support your kids, the teachers, and be a part of your community!  So grab your friends and have some fun! It is going to be a great year.

Communications/Flyers - Kathleen Burns

Hi!  My name is Kathleen Burns.  I am the clumsy, socially awkward, laughing-at-myself kind of mommy who unabashedly loves her first grader, husband, friends, and family.  This is my first year serving on the PTO, and it is our second year as Bobcats.  I am excited to take on the communications responsibilities for the PTO.  Filling your bulletin board with flyers and reminders is my game.  While fumbling around as a mom and wife, I enjoy all things geeky, baking, researching (everything), and crafting (badly).  I am looking forward to another great year at Bonner.

Fifth Grade Promotion - Liz Ford and Annie Ostler
