President - Amber Tate
Hi Wysong families! This is my fourth year helping out with the PTO—starting with the Yearbook (first as Co-Chair, then Chair), Chairing the 1st annual Flapjack Feed, and then moving into President-Elect last year, and now here I am as your PTO President! My partner, Nick, and I have two kids—Taylor (6th grade at Moore) and Ty (4th grade)—plus our two dogs, Ollie and Lue. I work as an Industrial IT Operations Manager for The Toro Company, and Nick is a Civil Engineer with Lincoln Electric System. When I’m not working or at PTO events, you’ll find me in the garden, watching Husker Volleyball or Football - GO BIG RED!, traveling, or at a ball field/court cheering on the kids. I’m so excited for this year and can’t wait for all the fun and amazing things we’ll make happen together!
Past President - Sarah Bisbee
Sarah has loved being part of the PTO for the last few years as the President and President Elect, and before that was involved in the Wysong community as the Chair of the Scholastic Book Fair and other classroom volunteer opportunities. Sarah and her husband Jack lived in Chicago for eight years but moved back to Lincoln 12 years ago to be closer to family. They have two boys at Wysong, Harrison (5th grade) and Warren (2nd grade). Outside of Wysong, Sarah is the Senior Director of Strategy Development at the Propane Council and in her free time loves to explore Lincoln with her family, travel, and spend time with friends.
This is Stacy’s first year on the PTO board, though she’s been active in the Wysong community for several years. Last year, she co-chaired Family Fest and loved the energy and connection it brought. Stacy and her husband, Nate, both grew up in Western Nebraska and made Lincoln home after graduating from UNL. Their kids, Harper (6th grade at Moore Middle School) and Hadley (3rd grade), keep them busy with sports and school activities. Stacy is the Director of Client Experience at Olsson, and Nate works in Business Development at General Excavating. Stacy loves to volunteer in the community and encourages her kids to get involved too. When she’s not working or cheering from the sidelines, she enjoys golfing (when things go her way), hunting for great shopping deals, and spending time with friends. She’s passionate about building community and finding ways to bring people together.
Treasurer - Casey Fahrnbruch
This is Casey's 5th year as Treasurer. He and his wife Sara have sons Wesley (7thd grade) and William (5th grade) and daughter Ruthie (1st grade) that keep them on their toes.

When not working, you'll find Casey watching any and all sports (especially the Huskers), getting outside, and shuttling the kids to their various activities.
Communications - Tyler Steenken
Tyler and his wife, Anslee, consider their family "lifers" of Wysong. They have three children, Harper (Frosh at Standing Bear), Finn (7th grade at Moore), and Leni (1st grade at Wysong). They've had the privilege of being part of Wysong from the very beginning, with their oldest being a kindergartner when Wysong opened (and was 1/3 of its current size now)! Tyler has been on the PTO board for over 6 years. Tyler works at ampiO Solutions as the Sales Director for their Microsoft Consulting team. His hobbies include anything sports (the biggest Huskers basketball fan you'll ever meet) and pool/lake related!
Marketing - Kali Schoettger
Kali has loved being involved in the Wysong PTO since her oldest started kindergarten in 2021, and being able to see first hand the hard work and dedication the teachers and staff have for our kids! She and her husband Jared have two kids, ages 10 & 8, and as a family they love to travel, cheer for the Huskers, and go to movies or the lake together. Jared is an orthodontist at Schoettger Orthodontics and Kali does marketing for the office as well. We feel lucky to be part of the Wolves community!

Misty joined the PTO Board in 2022, lending her talents to the website and communications. She and her husband, Chad, have two boys—one at Wysong and one in middle school. She works as the Director of Marketing for Telesis Inc.

What she loves most about Wysong is its amazing staff and teachers who make it such an enjoyable place.
