Dear Hickory families, staff and community,

I would like to introduce myself to you. My name is Stacey Wong and I am excited to serve as Hickory’s PTA president for the 2025-2026 school year. Sadly, this will be my last school year as a Hickory parent as my youngest child is in 5th grade, but I look forward to making it special and memorable. My family has been part of the Hickory community since 2017 and in the past I have served many roles with the PTA: class library volunteer, Adventures in Art docent, Health Ever After docent, room rep, copy center chair, scholarship committee chair, jogathon chair, Winter Festival/Winter Fair chair, and 1st Vice President (programs). I work full time as a clinical genomic scientist and I am also on the PTSA board at Madrona Middle School.

Each president gets to choose a motto for their PTA during their term, and the motto I have chosen is “For Family and Community”. I chose it because it reflects what I believe underlies all of our efforts in the PTA, to support our families and to build a stronger community at Hickory. My hope is that all students and families will feel welcomed and part of our community. I hope as part of the Hickory community you can bring some of that energy to support our PTA through joining us as a member, supporting our upcoming fundraisers, and if you have the desire to and time, volunteer with us. We appreciate any type of support you have to offer and we wish to meet your family where you are.

I hope you get to know our PTA leadership over the school year and I look forward to seeing you at our many events and programs. If you have any questions, ideas or feedback, please reach out to us at hello@hickorypta.net. Here’s to a fantastic 2025-2026 school year!

Warmly,

Stacey Wong

Hickory PTA President
