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've always rescued adult dogs, so getting a micro mini Bernedoodle puppy seemed like the natural next step—after all, every kid should grow up with a puppy, right? It turns out our adorable puppy is less "man's best friend" and more "tiny caffeinated velociraptor." You'll often spot us at morning drop-off, where she's usually busy proving my point.

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!
