Your 2024-25 KWES PTO Executive Board
Contact us at kwespto@gmail.com.
Hi there, my name is Stephanie Bullock and I am currently serving in my 19th year in the U.S. Army. I love to travel and making memories with my family. Most importantly, I am honored and privileged to serve as the next PTO president for the 2024/2025 school year. I am ready to make memories with you as we begin another great school year. My husband and I have lived in the Woodbridge area since 2012 but periodically our military careers would relocate us to other states, but we always seemed to find our way back to Virginia. My son, Darren, is going to be in the 3rd grade this year. He enjoys traveling, spending time with friends and family, playing soccer, and videogames. In closing, I look forward to collaborating with the parents, teachers, administration, and most importantly the PTO volunteers throughout the 2024/2025 school year.
About Me
Hi! I am Laurie McLendon, and I am excited and honored to serve as this year's PTO Vice President. My family and I moved to the Woodbridge area in 2020 from Alexandria, and we have enjoyed becoming a part of the wonderful Kyle Wilson Elementary community. This is our second year at the school, and we have three children: a 4-year-old in Pre-K, a 7-year-old in 2nd grade, and a 10-year-old in 5th grade.
I have been working remotely for the last 10 years for a law firm based in South Carolina as a Senior Executive Coordinator.
When I'm not working, you can often find me running or spending time with my family. We enjoy hiking, traveling, and playing board games. I look forward to helping the PTO continue to create a strong sense of community and support for our teachers, parents, and most importantly, our students.

Treasurer
Hi there! I am Ashley Shelley and I am your PTO Treasurer. This is our fourth year at KWES. My son Declan is in 3rd grade and my daughter Mia is in 1st grade this year. We absolutely love KWES and are honored to be a part of this amazing community!
I am a Northern VA native and PWCS graduate. After moving around VA for a few years I moved back home only to meet an amazing man from Buffalo, NY. We married in 2014 and he's grown to love NOVA as much as I do!
I work full-time as a government contractor and when I'm not doing that or my PTO duties I can usually be found cooking, baking, playing with the kids, or performing as a trampoline for my daughter!
I am so excited to be able to help our kids, our school, and our community come together for another AMAZING school year!!

I also have a daughter, Breanna, that is a 9th grader at Hylton. I'm a graduate of PWCS schools and grew up going to school with Kyle Wilson. It is an honor that my kids get to attend a school named after him and that I have the opportunity to serve as the Recording Secretary. I am a CPA and work as the Assistant Controller for Lightwave Dental, a Dental Services Organization. Prior to that I worked as Assistant Controller at US Fitness and was with the company for 16 years. I enjoy volunteering with my kids at Potomac Place Assisted Living and going on mini adventures together to amusement parks or anything else active or unique. I am here to help support the kids and school in any way that I can!
