Rebecca De La Luz
Vice President
My name is Rebecca De La Luz and I am a mother of three, the most rewarding part of my life. As a family we like to travel, volunteer, and support each other in our many sports teams. My background is in childcare and community. I enjoy helping and have tried to make an impact within the Winnebago/Boone County community by being involved with organizations such as Carpenters Place, Hope Reaching Out, Rockford Crisis Nursery, and Golden Apple Foundation, to name a few.
I’m a very outgoing and determined person and when I set my mind on an idea or goal, I find it very hard to stop until I achieve it. This will be my oldest son’s first year in middle school, and I want to make sure I’m doing everything in my power to help the process. This year I am also President at Olson Park Elementary and I am very excited to make a difference within the Harlem District community.
FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE PTO: Organizing new and creative ideas for students and staff, meeting staff and other parents.
FAVORITE THINGS TO DO OTHER THAN THE PTO: volunteering, exploring new places, volleyball, sports events with family, spending quality time with, family
