IB Parent Organization

Ahoj! My name is Alice (pronounced Alitze) and I am a Czech national. I lived internationally for many years (US, Europe and Asia). I moved to Sarasota in June 2021 with my American husband and my two teenage sons. My older son Aksel graduated from Riverview in 2023 and my younger son Jonas is a Junior in the IB program. I am a former corporate lawyer. I have volunteered with other IB schools that my sons attended and I bring an international perspective. I am an avid golfer, skier, yoga practitioner and cook. I also volunteer with the First Tee Sarasota and Manatee County.

Hello IB parents and families! My name is Kami Yaegers and I have had two children in the IB program here at Riverview. My oldest son graduated in 2023 and my daughter will be a Junior this school year. I have a dual degree in Finance and Management and following a career in consulting, I chose to stay home and raise my children. I have worked with the IBPO program in some form since my son began school at Riverview and I look forward to another fun, successful year! Go Rams!

Bio coming soon.

Hello Rams! My name is Brooke Cherry, Secretary and IB Gear co-chair. I moved to Sarasota in 2001 after receiving a BSBA in Marketing from The University of Florida. Soon after, I met my husband, Doug, a Sarasota native & Intellectual Property Attorney. We are the proud parents of an IBDP Junior, who plays defense for the Rams Boys’ Lacrosse team. When not “Mom-ing”, I teach yoga and am working on my Wellness Coaching and Personal Training Certification. I look forward to helping the IBPO as much as I can, continuing to help this amazing volunteer organization support the teachers, staff, administration and students of RHS! In my free time, I love to read, walk, practice yoga, cook, and spend time with friends and my family.
