Chris, her husband and three school age daughters have been residents of Menomonee Falls for approximately 16 years. Both she and her husband are from the midwest but moved to Arizona after the birth of their first daughter. After living in Arizona for two years, they quickly realized that they wanted to return to Wisconsin and its midwestern values. They chose Menomonee Falls because Chris’ mom’s family had roots here. She grew up listening to her mom’s fond stories about growing up in the Falls. They knew of the close knit community that Menomonee Falls held and wanted to embrace this village and all of its charms. Chris enjoys a sense of community wherever she goes and getting to know people of different backgrounds. She was a Girl Scout leader for 10 years and actively volunteers at schools in various activities/committees.

Before moving to Menomonee Falls, Sarah worked at Life Skills International. With offices in more than 20 states & having helped over 200,000 people, the program supports the development of key character traits that establish healthy foundations for living. As a leader in the organization, it required her to wear many hats, from day-to-day business operations to strategic growth and business development. She is certified in the organization and facilitated multiple concurrent classes, leading each group through the 6-month course. There, she learned a lot about human behavior and psychology and looks forward to the opportunity to use those skills to serve the young people in our community.

Years ago, she made the decision to walk away from the workforce to be at home with her children. This has given her the opportunity to lead numerous Mothers of Preschooler’s groups, actively volunteer at her children’s schools, and at church leading women’s bible studies.

As she believes children are our most valuable investment – being our future, our legacy, and our community - she knows that by investing in their education & providing a solid foundation, we will reap the benefits for generations to come. She is excited to see what can be achieved working with the district staff to serve and prepare our students.
