President
​​My name is Antonia Garza. I am the new incoming President. I am a former Park Side and Brook Haven student and graduated from Analy. I have two kids Isaac in 4th grade at Park Side and Maya in preschool. I have been on and off participating with SEF since my son was in TK at Park Side and have now been a board member for 3 years. I love helping the schools. I coach volleyball at Brook Haven and have started the Park Side Folklorico. I am self-employed as a paralegal and have been working in law for almost 20 years and am currently finishing my first year of law school.
Vice President
My name is Melina Izzarelli the Vice President of SEF. My family and I have been part of SUSD since 2011 when my oldest entered Kindergarten. As a Library Media Specialist I am lucky enough work with our students every day, inspiring a love of books and helping students navigate their digital world. 

I have enjoyed being a member our SEF board for the last 8 years, supporting our school community through fundraisers such as Read-a-Thon. In my new role as Vice President of SEF, I plan to work with our board members, parents and school community, at finding fun, creative new ways to help support our students, families and teachers through a challenging year. 

In my spare time you will find me… reading, cooking, listening to podcasts and spending time with friends and family. 
Secretary 
Hi! I am Deirdre Lordan, your SEF Secretary for the 2020-2021 school year. My daughter is in 5th grade at Brook Haven and my son is in 3rd grade at Park Side. We have been a proud SUSD family since our daughter started kindergarten.

I have had the pleasure of co-chairing the Park Side walk-a-thon in 2018 and 2019 and chairing the SEF Gala in 2019 and 2020. I love doing what I can to enhance the school experience for my children and their schoolmates. Raising money for our students and teachers, and having input on how the funds are distributed makes me feel extremely proud.

When I am not working with SEF I am working in the wine industry, spending time outdoors with my family, planning a party, cooking, or riding my Peloton.
