Community Council

The School Community Council or Trust Lands Committee identifies critical academic needs for our school. We create and implement a plan and put in place the means to address each critical academic need. This is accomplished by managing School Trust Land funds. For more information about School Community Councils or Trust Lands please see the Links Below.

Meeting Schedule

West Kearns SCC meets on the second Tuesday of each month in the library. We begin at 3:45 p.m. and meetings usually last about an hour.

All are welcome! Please attend!

Somer Julio: Parent-Chair of the Council

My daughter is in Mrs. Rodriguez’s second grade dual immersion class. This is my second year serving as community council chair. I love serving on the community council and getting to know the school and staff while making some very important decisions for our school and students. I work full time as a licensed customs broker. Our family has lived in Utah since 2011. We’re originally from Los Angeles. We love Utah because of the friendly community and many outdoor adventures. During the spring and summer months you’ll probably find our family camping or on a weekend exploring adventure.

Kimberly Barlow: Parent

Happily married to my high school sweetheart, Mark. Mother of three children, twins who are 20 and attending school at BYU and a 5th grader in the dual immersion program. BA degree from the University of Utah. I enjoy substitute teaching and serving as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for the state of Utah.

Victoria Zarandona: Parent

Becky Watkins: Parent

I am happy to serve on the West Kearns community council again. I love the staff here at West Kearns! My amazing husband and I have lived here for over 20 years. My 8 children have all attended or are attending West Kearns. I have been involved at the school with PTA and other volunteer opportunities for the last 18 years. West Kearns is my 2nd home. I love to be involved in our school and community. My greatest joys are my family, being in the mountains, good music and laughing!

Celeste Santana: Employee-Vice Chair

Celeste Santana has been teaching for many years in bilingual and dual immersion programs in California and Utah. Most of her career she has taught 3^rd and 4^th grade but this year she is excited to be working in first grade. In addition to her love for bilingual education, she is passionate about gifted and talented education. She enjoys teaching at West Kearns Elementary and is grateful for all the support from parents and community that help make it such a great place to be.

Katy Timothy: Employee-Principal

I am so happy to be in my second year as the principal of West Kearns Elementary! This is my thirteenth year in education. I have taught first, third, and fifth grades as a teacher and have been an instructional coach. This is my fifth year in administration. I love participating in Community Council. It’s a wonderful time to help decide how to spend our Land Trust funding, share important information with parents, and get feedback on how we can improve. I invite any and all parents to attend our open meetings!

I feel fortunate every day to get to work with such amazing students, parents, teachers, and community members. I am happily married to my husband, Jason. We have four children, including a seven-year-old, five-year-old, and twins that are two-and-a-half. We also have a huge dog named Ella. In my spare time I enjoy gardening and playing guitar.
