Carrie Wille

The Pewaukee school community has made a fabulously positive impact on the Wille family.  Carrie and Scott have 3 girls; Annika is in 5th grade at Horizon, Ava is in 3rd grade at PLE, and their youngest, Elena, is attending 4K.  The Wille family is very grateful for the experiences Pewaukee schools provide their daughters, and as such, Carrie wanted to become more involved in supporting our schools through the PTO.  She worked for 14 years in the health insurance industry prior to taking time off to quit competing with the babysitter for her children’s affection, to bus them around to their activities, and to prepare healthy meals they don’t want to eat.  Truly though, she is glad to have this time to take a more active role in the PTO’s strong tradition of enhancing the educational experiences of our children.
