Hi, I’m Antonia Mason, but most people know me as Annie! I’m a proud mom of three boys in the Bedford School District and a longtime member of the Mount Kisco/Bedford community. Our family truly loves being part of this wonderful community.

After spending years working in the corporate world, I made the decision to step away from my career to focus on raising my family. I’m excited to now bring my experience, skills, and talents to WPESA and to help support and strengthen our school community.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to be involved and look forward to working alongside our teachers, staff, and fellow parents to make West Patent Elementary School an even more amazing place for our children!

I am the proud mom of three children—twins Adena and Theo, who are in 3rd Grade, and Brayden, who is starting Kindergarten this year. Our family has called Bedford Corners home since 2019, and we have loved our three wonderful years at WPES. We are especially excited to welcome our youngest to the school community and have all three of our children together at WPES this year!

I am thrilled to be joining the WPESA Board and look forward to supporting and giving back to this incredible community of students, parents, and teachers. I am an early childhood special education and early childhood teacher currently on an extended family leave, so being involved at WPES feels especially meaningful and very much like home. I am excited for the year ahead and to be part of such a wonderful school community!

  I am a proud mom of two girls, Olivia and Ella, who are in 3rd and 8thgrade. Our family has lived in the community for 8 years and this is my second year as a board member.  I’m excited to contribute to our school community as an enrichment coordinator.  I look forward to collaborating with fellow parents and faculty to support our children’s education and enhance their school experience.  

Michael Bonet is a film teacher in NYC, the socials chair, and the only guy on WPESA.  He has a kindergartner and a third grader.  

Jess:  This is my third year serving on WPESA, and I’m excited to continue supporting our wonderful school community. I have two children, Remi, a 3rd grader at West Patent and Blake, who is in Pre-K.  I serve as the co-chair of the KIT Club committee, where I help coordinate and plan vendors to provide after-school enrichment programs for families. Outside of WPESA, I work in Human Resources. I’m grateful for the opportunity to give back and stay engaged with the families, students, and staff who make this school so special.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, with over 15 years of experience in musculoskeletal research. Favorite part of my career has been mentoring students and trainees. 

I have been an active member of WPESA for the past two years, and I truly enjoy being part of such an amazing and supportive community. My daughter Zehra is excited to begin 4th grade this year.

  Tracy:  I'm a proud mom of two children, one in 2nd grade and one in Pre-K, and is excited to be serving her first year as a member of the WPESA board.

Katie:  I’m Katie Krishnan, Mom to three girls - Lily (4th grade), Lucy (3rd grade) and Lyla, who’s just about to start kindergarten. We’ve been lucky to call Mount Kisco home since 2018 and it’s been an incredible community to raise our family in. This is my first year on WPESA and I’m really excited to jump in, team up with such a dedicated group of parents and help ensure each child has the best possible experience at West Patent.

Angela: I'm a proud mom of a West Patent kindergartner and an 8 month old. I am a lawyer with a background in corporate law and M&A.

I’m excited to contribute to WPESA and give back to the school and community that shaped me.  

Danielle: I’m a lifelong New Yorker, mom to twin third graders, and a proud military mom to my son, a Fox Lane graduate who serves in the Air Force. I’ve spent my career as an Executive Assistant in the startup and pharmaceutical industries, along with experience in event management.

I’ve always loved gardening and being outdoors. With 75+ houseplants at home, I’m happiest with my hands in the dirt! I also love spending time outside with my kids and our two rescue dogs, Cosmo and Chewy. I’m excited to bring my love of gardening and community to the Gardening Club!
