President
Kristen Soprano
Hi Roadrunners! My name is Kristen Soprano and I have been a part of the CRS PTO since 2021. I am thrilled to continue supporting CRS as this year's PTO President, and can't wait to make lots of amazing memories with
everyone in our Roadrunner community! I am the proud mom of two fantastic kiddos, one who is now officially a CRS alumn and off to middle school (where did the time go?!) and the other who is still proudly rocking the green and white as a 4th grader at CRS! I'm looking forward to a great year and partnering with everyone to help support a Caring, Responsible, and Safe CRS community this year!
Vice President
Becky Kowalczyk
My name is Becky and I’m excited to be serving as PTO Vice President for the second year in a row. I have a 2nd grader this year and a high school senior, so I have the unique experience of having serviced on the PTO in two
very different eras. I had previously been a member from 2015-2020 with my oldest and rejoined in 2024 when my youngest entered kindergarten. We’re a proud CRS family and we’re excited for all of the amazing offerings this coming school year.
