Tammy Bewitz, President
Tammy is originally from Wisconsin and has lived and worked in many places before coming to call Arlington home. An educator by training, Tammy began teaching as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Sri Lanka. She continued on to teach ESL in Montgomery County, Fairfax and Arlington Public Schools, working with both children and adults. As the mother of three active boys, she and her husband have appreciated the EL instructional approach used at Campbell, which has allowed for hands-on discovery and exploration. With her youngest son starting first grade this year, she looks forward to working with the community to help support our families as we return to what should be another unique school year. Please don’t hesitate to contact her at president@campbellschool.

Jenny Morris, Treasurer
Jenny is a corporate tax accountant and has served on the boards of several non-profit organizations in the last several years. Having grown up in the small, mountain town of Flagstaff, AZ, one of her favorite things is spending time in the mountains and the outdoors. When they get the time, she and her husband, Mike, love to take their daughters, Margy (7th grade) and Jane (4th grade) on adventures near and far. She loves that Campbell has a focus on spending time outdoors and appreciating the world and people that we share it with! Jenny was Treasurer of the Campbell Elementary School PTA from 2016-2018 and is looking forward to being back on the PTA board. You can reach her by email at treasurer@campbellschool.
