Meet Our Board
Natasha JAckson
President
Hello, DLE Families!
I’m excited to welcome you to another amazing school year and honored to serve as your Donald Leonetti Elementary PTO President for my second year. It has been such a privilege to work alongside our dedicated volunteers, incredible staff, and supportive families to make DLE a place where every child can thrive.
I’ve been involved with the PTO since my oldest son was in kindergarten and have had the opportunity to serve in several leadership roles, including Vice President before becoming President. Each year has strengthened my love for this school and our wonderful community.
My husband, Nygel, and I have three amazing boys: Mason, a freshman at Ridge Point High School; Caden, who is in 7th grade at Ronald Thornton Middle School; and Gavin, who is in 5th grade here at DLE. I’m a proud University of Oklahoma alum (Boomer Sooner!) and earned my Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Arkansas. I currently serve as the Director of Training and Education for a national hospice pharmacy organization.
When we’re not at school events, you’ll usually find our family cheering on our boys at basketball games, karate competitions, or art shows.
Serving the Leonetti community is truly one of my greatest joys. I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue leading our PTO and look forward to another year of building connections, supporting our outstanding teachers and staff, and creating meaningful experiences for our students and families. DLE is truly the greatest place to be and we can’t wait to make the 2026–2027 school year our best one yet!
Lauren Moyer
vice president
I'm so excited to serve as the 2026-27 DLE PTO Vice President! This is my third year on the PTO, serving last year as the VIPS Coordinator and previously the Website and Digital Display Chair.
My husband and I have been married almost 9 years and have a 7-year-old daughter in second grade at Leonetti.
I have a background in multimedia journalism and business administration having earned my bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin, and my M.B.A. from the University of Texas at Tyler. I'm currently the Digital Communications Operations Manager for a national radio company.
When we're not in school or working, you can catch our family attending or watching football games all season rooting for my beloved Texas Longhorns, and my husband's Green Bay Packers - or at one of several Disney theme parks!
I'm looking forward to another great year at DLE and can't wait to meet new and returning families at this year's events!

Rochelle Hayes
Treasurer
I’m excited to serve my second year, as your DLE PTO Treasurer! I am a mom of three boys; Dorian a freshman who is playing basketball for the University Of Texas San Antonio and twins Kaine and Kao who are in 4th grade at Leonetti. My husband Chuck and I have been married for 11 years and have lived in Sienna since we got married. My dad was in the navy growing up so I have lived many places. I was born in Guam, lived in Arizona, British Columbia, Washington State, California and now Texas. Our family loves basketball so we can always be found at a game cheering on our boys as they play. I love to read and in my spare time, I’m usually lost in a good book.
I currently work as a realtor in the Houston area. I love to get creative with our school’s on campus activities and I’m looking forward to doing a lot of crafting and designing again this year! It’s going to be a great year at DLE with all of our students, staff and families!

Josh jenkins
student activities coordinator
I am truly excited to serve as the Student Activities Coordinator for the 2025/2026 school year. My husband and I moved to Sienna in 2021. We have a daughter in the third grade this year and another one that is 4 years old and will be a lion in no time at all. John and I love to travel whenever we can or visit our families that reside in Wisconsin and Tennessee. I do work full time as a Business Development Account Director but love to volunteer on my free time as much as possible. The staff at Leonetti school is so amazing, and I love being able to give back and help as much as I can. The PTO has been a great way for me to get involved with the school and meet some absolutely amazing people I get to call my close friends.
