Executive Board
President
Chrissy McLane
I am excited to take on the role of SU PTO President this year, having served as the Vice President for the last few years. I have been volunteering since my daughter started at Swallow Union 6 years ago, serving as a Box Top Coordinator, room parent, and assisting with various events. I work full-time as an auditor and enjoy golfing, skiing, and boating. My daughter has moved on to middle school and my son is excited to be moving onto 2nd grade. We moved here from the bustling city of Quincy in 2015, and couldn't be happier to have found a lifelong home in this quaint little town. I'm thrilled to contribute to the great sense of community this school supports, and am constantly impressed by the volunteers that make SU great.

Vice-President
Kristina Gannon
I am excited to be a part of the SU PTO board this year! Since my daughter entered kindergarten five years ago, I have been active in the school as a room parent, have volunteered at several PTO events and have been the coordinator for the Winter Store for the last four years. While my daughter is moving on to middle school, my son will be in the 2nd grade this year. I am a part-time physical therapist at Lowell General Hospital, but most of the time you can find me in the car on the way to the dance studio or baseball field! My family and I love Swallow Union and its community and I am happy to now have a larger role in creating such a special environment.

Teacher Representative
Jennifer Dinneen
My name is Jennifer Dinneen and I have been an educator in the district since 1992. I strongly believe that quality education derives from a strong relationship between educators, parents, and the community. Developing an exemplary district is a complex process. The work of Swallow Union’s PTO will provide educational opportunities for our students that will support and enrich their learning.
Treasurer
Tim DiNicola
My name is Tim DiNicola and my wife Julie and I moved to Dunstable in 2014. This year we'll have two kids at Swallow Union. Miles in second grade and Anne starting first. I got involved with the PTO and various school activities last year and I'm happy to serve as Treasurer for the PTO this year. I am also Treasurer of the Cub Scouts Pack 28. I work in Corporate finance as a Controller and when I get some free time I really enjoy spending time outdoors, especially on the water kayaking or paddle boarding. We all love to ride bikes, work in the garden and cook together. I am really looking forward to this upcoming year as the family gets more involved with Swallow Union.

Volunteer Coordinator
Whitney L.B. Healey
Hi my name is Whitney and I have been an active volunteer since I can remember. My mother instilled in me a love of learning and a life of service which I hope to pass on to our two children. I believe that it takes a community to raise a child and provide a well rounded educational experience which fuels my desire to be involved with the Swallow Union PTO and Dunstable community.

Secretary/clerk
Nancy Dias
My name is Nancy Dias. My family and I moved to Dunstable in 2021. We find the community very welcoming and charming. The first order of business when moving in was signing up for Tully Farms’ milk delivery! One of my passions is volunteering and supporting non-for-profits organizations. Both my children, Owen and Emilie Rose, attend Swallow Union. This is my first year serving on the PTO. I also serve as a board member for Salem State University Alumni Association and Fondation and as an Advancement Officer for the Cub Scouts Pack 28. I look forward to volunteering and contributing to the educational experience at Swallow Union.

Digital Media Coordinator
Ellen Logiodice
Hi! As a former Swallow Union alum I am SO excited for both my children to also attend Swallow Union. Anna will be in fourth grade and Nora is in first. Besides being on the PTO I also work at a local hospital as a nurse in the emergency department. When I’m not working my family loves to be outside biking, swimming, and playing with our Saint Bernard. This is my second year on the PTO and I’m looking forward to being involved with all the fun activities this group brings throughout the year
