This is Pia's third year at West Hollywood Elementary.  Born in Los Angeles (not far from the WHE campus), she is excited to raise her children in her hometown.  She and her husband, Jake, have two children: Josh, who is in Ms. Levy's 2nd grade class and Shayna, who is still in preschool.  Pia is excited to step into the President role of the FOWHE board, having served as the grants committee chair for the last year.  She is looking forward to help fundraise and build community friendships. When not shuttling the kids around town, Pia manages the DNA Unit for the Los Angeles Police Department Crime Laboratory.  On the weekends, she enjoys going to the farmers market and taking the family to the park.

 

 

 

 

JESSE SLANSKY

Vice President

 

This is Jesse’s sixth year as part of the West Hollywood Elementary family. His daughter Amelia started in TK and is now (gulp!) in the 4th grade. His son Henry is in 2nd grade. Over the years, he has served in on the gala committee, as a room parent, and stop & drop coordinator, and now is happy to serve on the FOWHE board. 

 

When not at WHE, Jesse leads a non-profit affordable housing developer, building homes and providing services that move people from insecurity to stability.

 


 

ANNIE NEAL

Fundraising Committee Chair

 

This is Annie’s second year at West Hollywood Elementary. Annie started volunteering last year as Room Parent in her daughter Isla’s Kindergarten class and she is now very excited (and honored) to be serving on the FOWHE board as Fundraising Chair. Professionally, Annie has worked as a Television and Film writer. Annie, her husband Cory and their daughter Isla love all things adventure, travel and animal related (including their three handsome rescue kitties!). They live walking distance to WHE and used to walk Isla by the school as a baby to watch the “big kids” - so it’s a very special for Isla to now go to school here!

 

 

 

 

KATHY ZENG

Kathy and her husband Will have two kids at West Hollywood Elementary. Their older son Emerson is in 4th grade, and younger son Caden is in 1st. Both started at WHE as kindergarteners. Previously, Kathy volunteered for school events such as Halloween, Gala, Day of Awesomeness, book fair, etc. This is her first year joining FOWHE. She’s excited to continue her commitment to the school and the community at WHE. When school is not in session, Kathy and her family love to travel and explore the food and culture of different countries. Her kids are avid basketball players, so weekends are usually spent at tournaments and league games.

With his magical daughter Fallon, this is Dylan’s third year at West Hollywood Elementary.  He is excited to be on the board to help all children benefit from every opportunity we as parents can provide and to keep our school at an exceptional level.

Laura and her family moved from London, England, to Los Angeles in 2015. Her two daughters have been at WEHO since April 2021, when they moved to West Hollywood from Studio City.

JEAN-PAUL TREMBLAY

Communications Chair 
 
Jean-Paul and his partner Danielle are now three years in to dropping off their best friend and current 1st-grader, Nihlim, at West Hollywood Elementary every morning.
 
Jean-Paul has coached many of Nihlim’s classmates on their youth baseball and T-ball teams for the past several years, always trying to emphasize the playfulness, spirit and adventure of team sports and group activities rather than rigid rulebook fundamentals and strict procedures — leaving that for his work with adults, including his earlier life of nearly two decades in Manhattan, where he spearheaded novel news and comedy projects at ABC’s Lincoln Center studios, worked as a creative director at magazines and ad agencies, and wrote formal correspondence for former President Clinton in Harlem. Now in West Hollywood, Jean-Paul focuses his craft on writing and producing clever comedies and terrific tragedies.
