Jaynee was raised in Agoura Hills, California and moved to Colorado to attend the University of Colorado at Boulder, graduating with a Bachelor of Environmental Design in Architecture in 2007. Jaynee has extensive experience in commercial, hospitality, and residential interior design, having created beautiful, functional spaces nationwide.

Jaynee has continually involved herself in the Jewish community. Jaynee is thrilled to be the PTO co-president with Jessica Mulverhill, and is honored to continue helping DJDS be a wonderful place for every student and family. In her free time, Jaynee enjoys skiing, pilates, and spending time with her husband, children, and their Golden Retriever puppy, River. 

Jessica Mulverhill

Jessica Mulverhill is a 2nd generation Denver native. Growing up at Beth Joseph and then BMH-BJ, she is
an alum of the old Community Talmud Torah and Hebrew High. Jessica graduated from Thomas
Jefferson High School and received a Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Colorado Boulder.

Married to her wonderful husband Matt, they share two children, Isaac (7) and Sloane (5). Jessica has
been working in the oil and gas industry since 2004 and has held various positions over her 20-year
career. She is a Certified Professional Lease and Title Analyst, and works in land and asset management
helping companies manage their lease and contract databases. Jessica has been very involved on the
boards of both her local and national professional organizations. One of Jessica’s greatest passions is the Denver Jewish community. Starting in high school with USY, continuing in college to Hillel and
starting a Jewish sorority at CU Boulder, being involved with the Jewish community is paramount to her
identity and values. Most recently, Jessica has been heavily involved with the PTO and the boards of the
BMH-BJ preschool, BMH-BJ synagogue, and now at Denver Jewish Day School. She and Matt are
passionate about Jewish education and are thrilled to be sending both their children to Denver Jewish
Day School. Since joining the school 2 years ago, Jessica has served on the Development Committee, as a Parent Ambassador, served as a room parent, and been Helping Hands Liaison. She is thrilled to lead the PTO alongside Jaynee Leventhal.

Today’s person may live in his house,
but his real home is in the world around him.

Welcome to the Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO)!

The goal of Denver Jewish Day School’s PTO is to encourage parent and teacher partnerships in and out of the classroom, support school leadership, build and strengthen our school community, and promote the school’s mission and Divrei Chaim (Words to Live By). Working in cooperation with our Board of Trustees, head of school/CEO, staff, students, and their families, the PTO provides faculty and staff with additional resources that further enrich our students’ education.

Every parent of a Denver JDS student is a member of the PTO.As parents, we are each a vital part of the success of Denver JDS and its positive impact on our children, both in and out of the classroom. Together, we host special programs and activities that bring our community closer together and support the growth of our community in a supportive and meaningful way. Our contributions of time and financial resources help ensure our children have access to leading-edge educational opportunities and that teachers have the resources they need to provide these opportunities.

Throughout the year, the PTO conducts several fundraisers and events that raise money and connect our school community:
