Co-President: Alicia Riccardella
Hello MVES Families! My name is Alicia Riccardella. I am thrilled to be your PTO President for the 2024-2025 school year. My husband, Nick, and I relocated to Virginia from New Jersey back in
2012, and fell in love with Haymarket and this beautiful community. We couldn't be more thrilled to be raising our two daughters, Charlotte (a third grader) and Riley (a kindergartener) in this wonderful community. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and own a small group practice in the area. When I am not at the office, you can probably find me running or biking around Piedmont, shuffling kids to dance, soccer, the ice rink, or spending time with my family.
I look forward to a wonderful year of nurturing connections as we support our students, staff, and families.
Vice President: Shannon Koval
Hi Cougars! My name is Shannon Koval and I'm excited to represent our community a
s your PTO Vice President. I am a stay-at-home mother to third grade twins, William and Caroline.
When I'm not on the sidelines cheering my kids on, I love walking my dog. I enjoy doing my own DIY home improvement projects, and I'm known to disappear to my craft room to fulfill that creative itch once in a while.
I look forward to working with you all and leaning on my twelve years in education to make sure we support you all along with our incredible teachers and staff!
Treasurer: Mary Wise
Hello to the awesome MVES Family! I am Mary Wise, and I am super excited to take on the role of your PTO Treasurer for the 2024-2025 school year. My husband Charles and I have been a part of the MVES family since 2019 when our oldest started Kindergarten at this amazing school. We have two daughters Charlotte (fifth grade) and Emily (third grade). We also have a bit of a zoo in our home as we are huge animal lover
s and rescuers. We even have retirement plans to start our own rescue sanctuary! While a lot of people would run away from my line of work, I thoroughly enjoy working in human resources and finance. I am very passionate about helping others and building positive relationships.
I am so excited to see what this year has in store for the MVES family! We have a lot of amazing things planned so stay tuned!
Hello MVES community! As a proud parent of two daughters—one in fourth grade and the other in third—I'm thrilled to be joining this wonderful PTO board as co-treasurer for the 2024-2025 school year. Our family is involved in the vibrant community of Haymarket, where we enjoy a mix of activities including dance, soccer, lacrosse, and Girl Scouts.
With a passion for supporting our school and enriching the educational experience for all students, I’m committed to ensuring our PTO’s finances are managed with transparency and care. My professional background includes finance and.jpg)
accounting, but you’ll often find me cheering on my girls at their various sports events or volunteering as a local Girl Scout troop leader.
I look forward to working with fellow parents and staff to make this school year the best one yet!
Hi MVES families,
My name is Katy Stone and this will be my second year on the PTO board. I have a daughter,
Hollis, going into third grade and a 5 year old son, Hutch, who will be a future Cougar.
If I am not driving my kids to way too many activities, then I am trying to make it to the gym for a bit of me time, or decorating sugar cookies for someone’s birthday, baby shower or holiday event.
Last year I loved volunteering at the school and getting to know the amazing front office staff at MVES. This year I look forward to being at the school more often and being your PTO secretary.
