Lindsay Foster

Lindsay and her husband, Travis have two Dekalb Barons.  One daughter (Kynlee) here at Watson, and a son (Ryker) at the middle school.  Her husband, Travis, also coaches football at the high school and teaches at the middle school, you could say they are "all-in".  In Lindsay's "spare" time, you can find her shuffling her kiddos to football, baseball, and gymnastics!  Lindsay works full time as a program manager for a parent education program called Before5!

Vice president

Anne Eidam

Hello, everyone! I’m Anne Eidam, and I’m thrilled to serve as the PTO Vice President this year. I’m a proud mom to two wonderful boys, Wally, who’s in first grade, and Artie, who’s in preschool. A fun fact about me: my grandmother, mother, and sister all taught at JRW, so education runs deep in our family! I’m excited to connect with all of you and make this a fantastic year for our school community.

We’re proud parents of two awesome 5th graders at James R. Watson Elementary. Our family loves being part of this school community and getting involved wherever we can. Whether we’re cheering at school events, planning fun PTO activities, or exploring new places together, we’re all about creating great memories through family, travel, and supporting our Eagles. We believe in building strong connections and showing up with Eagle Pride—every day!
