Hi there! Kasia Croney here (pronounced “kasha”—like Tasha, but with a K). I’m a native Texan with two wild, wonderful boys (5 and 2), an amazing husband, and a loyal old dog. Our family loves the Magnolia School because it meets every kiddo where they are and encourages them to grow. Academics matter, sure—but kindness is where this school truly shines! I love being part of a community that celebrates and fosters each individual’s unique brand of kindness.

Outside of being Madame President, I’m a recovering corporate junkie from a career in HR and sales, now a full-time parent (SAHM) who loves to learn, talk, and listen.

Fun fact: I’m obsessed with nuances. There’s so much gray in life—equal parts frustrating and beautiful. Want to go down the rabbit trail with me? Start by pondering the difference between “nice” and “kind.” While I am typically not nice, I am, to my core, kind. 

I look forward to growing with you for the 2026-2027 school year!

Hi, I'm Jen, and I have two amazing children.

I love the warm, lively, and welcoming community at The Magnolia School. My son is thriving thanks to the school's personalized approach to learning, and it's been wonderful to watch his confidence and love of learning grow.

When I'm not volunteering with the PTO, you can usually find me learning Krav Maga or planning our family’s next travel adventure.

Fun fact: I have never met an animal I didn’t want to bring home. My husband has had to impose a very firm one-cat, one-dog limit, which has prevented me from acquiring a rabbit, more dogs, a raccoon, ferret, fox, and sugar glider. So far, he’s winning.

Hi, I'm Marlene, mom to a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old. I love being part of the Magnolia community because of the amazing, dedicated staff and the individualized support they provide to help every child thrive.

Outside of the PTO, I balance entrepreneurship and community service. I manage a business in Mexico, am launching a new venture in the U.S., serve on my HOA board, and volunteer as a translator at Austin Ridge Bible Church. In my free time, I enjoy fashion, cooking, reading, painting, crafts, and spending time outdoors. A fun fact about me is that my first and only traditional job was at a McDonald's in London in 1999—and to this day, their soft serve ice cream is still my ultimate guilty pleasure!

Hi, I’m Kerri! I’m a proud mom to Conor and Chloe and love being part of The Magnolia School community. What I love most about Magnolia is the way they meet each child where they are, celebrate them as individuals, and help them reach their full potential.

Outside of volunteering with the PTO, I enjoy spending time with my family, running Austin’s trails and roads, and getting creative with my embroidery machine. Fun fact: I’m a former 4th grade teacher!

Hi I’m Brandi, mom to Mikey, my one & only!

Everyday I know that our son is not only at a school where he feels supported, understood and genuinely cared for but also a place that feels like a second home to him. Just knowing that he is surrounded by teachers who celebrate his strengths and help him feel confident and included warms my heart! We truly love The Magnolia School!

I’ve been a full time SAHM now for almost a decade! I share a little bit of my life on the ‘gram. I’m into trying new recipes, sharing affordable finds, family travel destinations + staycations & a peek of everyday mom moments. My second home is at Orange Theory Fitness in Lakeway. I love to fitness in my free time :-)

Fun fact: I worked for 10+ years in the Emergency Room at Dell Children’s Hospital where I met one of my best friends who introduced me to my husband!

I’m Raegan Young, mom to Cole, 11, and Hunter, 8. Our family has loved being part of The Magnolia School community, especially the small class sizes and the genuine attention each child receives from the teachers and faculty.

These days, I’m a stay-at-home mom and enjoy finding ways to give back to our community. When I’m not volunteering, you’ll usually find me playing pickleball or riding bikes with my son.

Before kids, my career took me from cheering at the University of South Carolina to working as a buyer for H-E-B and eventually teaching school for seven years. I’m excited to bring my love of education and community to the Magnolia PTO!
