Aaron Kvale

INCUMBENT Board Member
PiM Staff – Spanish Teacher

Aaron Kvale headshot I am seeking a second term on PiM’s board of directors because I see the impact that this school andcommunity have on the lives of our students every day in my classroom and I care deeply aboutensuring that PiM continues to thrive and grow as a resource for the kids that need it most. I amcompleting my third year at PiM as a Spanish teacher and my first year as PiM Crew coordinator. Ihave previously worked with students in rural public schools in Iowa as a teacher and speech/dramacoach (2016-2022) as well as as a director and coordinator of youth programming for New MinowaPlayers, where I also served as a board member from 2013-2022. I additionally served on the board ofthe Iowa Community Theatre Association from 2019-2023. My previous experience in rural schoolsettings and as a board member and organizer at other non-profit organizations equips me withperspectives beyond those of our immediate community. It would be an honor to be reelected to theboard and continue to work with other dedicated members of the PiM community to steward andgrow this amazing school!

Amber Lee Koomen headshotI am the mother of Hann Koomen, a junior at PIM. I am incredibly thankful for PIM and the amazing care and support of our son. Hann is a vocal major and also has an IEP. PiM has been a blessing to our family and I am very interested in giving back.

I am a licensed EL teacher and administrator serving over 25 years in public schools. I have served at all school levels, in an ALC, setting 4 and now I am an administrator for a charter school called Hiawatha Academies. I bring a big heart and great compassion for educators. It is a difficult timeto be in education and I hope to be a cheerleader and an advocate for PiMS mission and the unique and essential role this school serves in our community.

Additionally, I have owned a professional photography business for over 15 years. For this reason, I have a fantastic understanding of what it means to be a working artist. This knowledge partnered with my school background makes me well suited to serve on the board.

I am married to Molly and have 3 children—Alison (25), Griffin (23-currently a junior at U of MinnesotaTC) and Nolan (17). I am currently the business leader for Liberty Packaging Incorporated serving as its senior vice president. We make cardboard packaging and have operation across the US and Mexico. We moved to the Twin Cities to join this company and we quickly fell in love with the area.

Prior to moving to Minnesota, my family and I lived in the Atlanta, Georgia area where I served in various executive positions with Georgia-Pacific (packaging) and Imerys (a performance minerals company headquartered out of Paris, France.) I served in the US Army for 10 years, with my last rank as captain. I grew up enjoying my art classes and was first chair alto saxophone in orchestra, jazz and marching band. I wish I had more artistic opportunities. I was delighted when we discovered PiM and Nolan had such a similar interest.

I have been in awe of the courage, talent and commitment I’ve seen in the PiM students and in the inspiration and support the faculty and staff show them. Thank you so much in advance for the consideration. I would be honored to serve PiM in this role.

Dee Grein

Community Member-Parent

Dee Grevin headshotMy commitment to PIM is second to none. My current PIM student, Jay Grein (class of 2027), was new to the school for the 2024-25 school year. His experience has been nothing short of outstanding. PIM provides him with an excellent academic education, engaging arts curriculum and an environment where he can be himself. As a board member, I would welcome the opportunity to be a representative for such an outstanding school.

Looking forward, there are a number of opportunities that PIM will need to tackle where the board will play a pivotal role and I am ready to help. These opportunities include creative solutions to funding pressures, particularly in light of 2026 state elections; courageous steps to protect and advance the school’s inclusive culture in the context of a challenging political environment; advancement of a strategy that grows enrollment and expands the reach of PIM’s community. My experience and capabilities position me to support PIM in working through these opportunities as a member of the school board.
