EXECUTIVE BOARD
Kristina Kauffman
President

This will be my second year serving as PTO President, but I previously served on the board as Secretary for 2 years. I grew up in Green Bay, Wisconsin and attended the University of Minnesota here in the Twin Cities. My husband Larwin & I have 3 boys: Owen in 6th grade, Connor in 4th grade and Teddy in 1st grade. I'm excited for more volunteer opportunities and parent involvement this year! In my free time I enjoy reading, playing cards, knitting blankets, traveling to our cabin in the summer & I'm an avid FRIENDS fan.

Liz Borkowski
Hi!  My name is Liz Borkowski, and I am excited to serve as PTO Treasurer this year. Originally from New York state, I attended Boston University and University of Colorado- Boulder, with a degree in Speech Language Pathology. After college, I lived in Colorado for almost 20 years, where I met my husband and started my own business. My family moved to Minnesota 2 years ago. We have been enjoying all the rain and snow, spending time with neighbors, and exploring new community playgrounds ever since. My husband and I have 2 daughters- Violet in 4th grade and Hazel starting Kindergarten. This community has been so welcoming and wonderful. I hope to work hard to support the parents, teachers, and students of Chanhassen Elementary.
