Jacobson PTO 2025-2026

Melissa Wright

 Hi!  I’m Melissa Wright. This is my second year as the PTO President.  I have a 4th grader here at Jacobson and a 8th grader across the street at Bogle Junior High.  My favorite color is purple. My favorite holiday is Halloween. You may see me substitute teaching around campus as well.   

Scott Nunemaker

My name is Scott Nunemaker and this is my families fifth year at Jacobson.  Our son, Nixon, is in 6th grade and our daughter, Monroe, is in 4th grade.  We have been residents of Chandler since 2005 but our kids have attended the Kyrene School District as this is where my wife, Kira taught for 9 years.  Prior to joining the Jacobson PTO, I worked as the Co-Treasurer for the 2 years.  When I am not volunteering at Jacobson, I am a Vice-President for a local construction company as well as a proud supporter for everything our children are involved in outside of school.  Kira, Nixon, Monroe and myself are very excited to continue being part of the Jacobson family! 

Jake Minard

Hi, my name is Jake Minard and I'm excited to be the Co-Treasurer this year. My wife is a 6th grade teacher at Jacobson. Jack is in 4th grade and Cole is in Kindergarten. I work at my family's insurance agency. I enjoy golfing and hiking. When I'm not doing those things, you will find me on the baseball field with my boys. I'm looking forward to a great year.

Chalice Blinick

Hi!  I’m Chalice Blinick.  I'm excited to be the Secretary this year!  This year I have a 2nd grader and a 6th grader here at Jacobson.  My husband owns a medical supply company here in Chandler and I am a Family Nurse Practitioner. My favorite color is blue. I love dancing, singing in my car, hanging out with friends and family, and going anywhere with a beach! You may see me teaching Art Masterpiece or helping around campus in various ways. 

Kim Bannon - Committee Chair

My name is Kim Bannon, and this is my family's 7th and final year at Jacobson. My husband, Rory, and I have a daughter in 6th grade and a sophomore son at ACP High School. I currently work at Tarwater Elementary, and prior to that, I worked for 16 years in the accounting profession as a CPA. This will be my 3rd year chairing Hospitality, and I am so lucky to have a spectacular committee! I have been involved with Art Masterpiece for 11 years, and this will by my third year co-running Art with a group of about 70 dedicated volunteers. I also volunteered in the Space Explorers Club for 2 years. When I am not driving my kids around to their activities, I like to volunteer at Saving One Life Animal Rescue and Feed My Starving Children or you may see me out at a local tennis court.
