Meet Our PA Executive
Deepta Rayner
President
Children: Grade 5 and 1 Graduate (2019)
What I love about JICS: JICS fosters a love of learning in every aspect of its community (children, teachers, masters students, family, community members, and visitors). In their early years, my kids didn’t even realize they were learning because they were just having so much fun…now they know they are learning and are still having fun!
Why I volunteer: I’ve been volunteering my whole life as I feel it is important to give back to the community in which I live. Volunteering with the JICS PA keeps me connected to the school where my kids spend a great portion of their days and allows me to contribute my own expertise to help the PA and the school attain their full potential.

What I love about JICS: I leave JICS every day feeling so proud that my children go there. I know they're getting the best education, surrounded by incredible people in a safe environment where they can grow and learn freely.
Why I volunteer: I want to make a difference. I believe that even the best can be better and I hope to contribute to as much as possible to achieving the goals of our parents here at JICS.
Beth Corcoran
Past President
Children: Grade 4 and 6
What I love about JICS: There are several aspects of this school that I love. The focus on learning in an emotionally secure environment; the deep curiosity I see the school fostering in my children; the exceptionally talented teachers who know and care about each child in the school; the opportunity to have a voice as a parent
Why I volunteer: Our family is extremely grateful that our children have been granted an opportunity to attend JICS so I am motivated to serve this community. And, having served on many charitable Boards, I believe I can offer skills that will help the school realize its vision.
