Introducing Aisha Foxx Telfort, PTO Co-President 2023-24 School Year!
In her own words:
I am proud to say that I am a Massachusetts native. I was raised in Brockton before completing a bachelors degree in nursing from Salem University. I met my husband Jude while working as an oncology nurse at Boston Medical Center. While living in Medford, we had our children Olivia (8) and Jeremiah (6). Shortly after having Jeremiah, we made the decision for me to leave nursing after a 15 year career to stay home with our children.
In 2017, we moved to Belmont and were instantly drawn to the deep sense of community that has continued to grow stronger over the years. Since my children have attended Wellington Elementary, I have been impressed by the significant work of the PTO and enjoyed volunteering and getting to know the staff and families.
I am excited to join the amazing team, as PTO Co-President! I look forward to connecting and building relationships with the school community!
