Meet your PEC School Coordinator

My name is Emily Ann Toledo. I graduated from Indiana University South Bend. I am a proud graduate of Elkhart Central High School. I have worked with schools in the nonprofit sector for the last ten years as a teacher, adult education director, school coordinator, and family support specialist. I am a proud wife for 10 years to my husband, and we share three beautiful children. My hobbies are traveling and working on my happy planner.

Find me out and about at school events (football games, fundraisers, etc.) so I can tell you about the great things Positively Elkhart County is doing and how you can get involved.

Check out the calendar below to see when you can catch me (and get your hands on some cool SWAG, like pop sockets, stickers, face masks, and more).

Find Positively Elkhart County!

Emily, our PEC Director, will be at the following places and events. Be sure to look for her and the PEC booth!

There are no upcoming events at this time.
