PTO Board Members

2025-2026

  • McNeeley Family

    Sarah McNeeley

    President

    Sarah and her husband Paul have 3 girls-Abby (a Brown Bear alum and rising 6th grader at Kennedy), Olivia (4th grader at Brown) and Evie (future Brown Bear!). She has been involved with the PTO since Abby was in kindergarten. This is her third year in the President role.

    I joined the PTO to get involved at Brown, to help plan and execute programs and events that help strengthen our Brown Bear community, and to help raise money for our school, students, teachers and support staff so that everyone has the resources they need to succeed at Brown!


    I'm looking forward to working together with our board, event chairs and volunteers  to plan a lot of fun events for our students and families and to giving back to our school community and teachers through our fundraising efforts.

    Joining the PTO is such an excellent way to give back to the school, students and teachers, and to connect with other families and school administration. It's fun to be a part of the PTO - and we're always looking for more members and event chairs! :)

  • Marina Breed

    Marina Breed

    Recording Secretary

    I'm Marina and this is my third year helping out with the Brown PTO. My husband Jon (who also volunteers where he can and coaches soccer for our oldest) and I have two kids at Brown - David, who will be in his last year as a 4th grader, and Jamie, who is in 1st grade.

    I joined the PTO as a Cultural Arts co-chair a few years ago to be more involved in planning fun events for the kids and to get to know others in the community. It has been such a positive experience and I'm looking forward to contributing even more this year and moving forward to give all of our kids a great elementary school experience. My family and I love the Brown community and I feel fortunate to have the time and ability to give back.

    My husband Ross and I have two kids at Brown: Nicholas (4th grade) and Madeline (1st grade). I've been so impressed by the amazing events the PTO at Brown School puts on every year and I'm so grateful for the folks that have put them together!

    This year, I'm happy to join the PTO as Treasurer to support our students, teachers, and our school community! I'm looking forward to getting more opportunities to connect with other parents and school administration and continuing to create a thriving school community for our kids!

  • Olivia Peters

    Olivia Peters

    Vice President of Fundraising

    My kids are Vince, who is an incoming third grader at Brown, I also have a newly minted Brown alum entering Kennedy this fall, and a 4 year old who will join Brown in 2026! 

    This is my second year on the PTO and third year chairing an event.  I joined the PTO because I was so impressed with the wonderful job our PTO does of creating a sense of community and meaningful experiences for our kids during their time at Brown, and I wanted to be a part of making that happen.

    This year I'm looking forward to our favorite school events like Fun Run, Pancake Breakfast and Movie Night, and reuniting with great friends and amazing teachers!

  • Emily Siu

    Emily Siu

    VP of Volunteers & Community Events

    Elliot is an incoming Brown Bear kindergartener. Parker (3) attends Natick Preschool and will join him at Brown in a couple years!

    After hearing Sarah speak at K orientation, I felt inspired to join. For me, the PTO is a way to support my son’s new school family, build connections, and give back. Excited for the friendships, memories, and adventures this school year will bring!

  • Hilary Couture

    VP of Communications

    I’m Hilary and I’ll be working with the PTO as the VP of Communications. My husband, Dan, and I have two daughters - Ellie who will be starting second grade and Hannah, a former Brown Bear who’s going into sixth grade over at Kennedy. I’ve been involved with the PTO for three years now, first as a member of the cultural arts committee and later working on the website and social media. I joined as a way to contribute to the Brown School community, and I’m looking forward to the many amazing events to come this year.
