Margaret Grupposo, Vice President
I’m Margaret Grupposo and my husband Keith and I moved our family to the area in 2017 specifically for T. Clay Wood Elementary. We are so happy that our daughters Maggie (4th Grade) and Sofia (3rd Grade) are able to learn in such a nurturing, fun environment. I have worked in Retail Management and Customer Service for over ten years and am excited to bring my skillset to the PTO. I am a firm believer that with the support of community, anything is possible and I’m excited to be involved in supporting our amazing school as they support us in educating and developing our children!
Kate Case Board Director
I'm Kate Case and I've lived in Bristow since December 2017 when my two sons and I relocated here from Burke. I'm originally from Long Island, NY and have been in the Northern Virginia area for the last 19 years. I came here for college at the University of Mary Washington and haven't looked back! My son Alex is a 2nd grader and my son Aiden is a Kindergartener. I work in business development and in my free time (what is that really when you have young kids?!) I'm my kids' chauffeur and enjoy reading and anything crafty! I love our neighborhood and the T. Clay Wood community; I'm excited to serve on the board and give back to the school that my boys and I love so much!

Jenny Ludlow, Board Director
My name is Jenny Ludlow and I am a first grade teacher. I have been at T. Clay Wood since we opened 11 years ago. My husband and I and my two boys reside in Bristow. Dylan is a T Clay Wood Alumni and Luke will be joining us this year to start Kindergarten. I can not think of a better group to be a part of then our amazing Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). I am an advocate for our teachers and love the opportunity to work together with our school community to make T Clay Wood the best place to be. I look forward to working hand in hand with our PTO this year and developing great ideas that will benefit our T Clay Wood community.

Jess Murray, Treasurer
Hi I’m Jessica Murray, I’m originally from Florida but have lived in the Northern Virginia area for the majority of the last 20 years with a few years in Japan and Tampa sprinkled in. We made Bristow our home in 2019. My Husband, Jim, and I have a 1st grader, Skylar, and a 6th grader, Wyatt. Before becoming CEO of the Murray household and a stay-at-home Mom, I worked in political finance and lobbying. In my spare time I play tennis, root for the Gators and geek out over Boeing aircraft. I’m confident this experience will give me the perfect set of skills to sit on the PTO board. I look forward to a fun, fulfilling and healthy school year!
