Kasey Hersey – President
Both Kasey & her husband (Andy) were born and raised in Delaware. While working as a geologist in the Philly metro area, Kasey returned to school to obtain her Secondary Ed teaching license in Earth/Space & General Science. In 2004, Kasey & Andy decided to relocate to Portland & start a family. After 14yrs in PDX, Kasey’s family of 5 made the jump to Bend. Kasey has been a SAHM since 2008 & has made it a priority to volunteer in the community via her children’s public schools & extracurricular clubs. Kasey is the proud (& slightly senile) momma of a 7th-grade daughter at SVMS, a 12th-grade son at MVHS, and a sophomore at OSU…all of which now tower over her. When not volunteering or annoying her children, she’s exploring all the wonderful outdoor recreational opportunities Central Oregon has to offer with Andy.
Lindsey Snodgrass – Vice President of Sales and Fundraising
Lindsey grew up in Eastern Oregon, lived in the valley for many years and moved to Bend with her family in 2021. She has an MBA in finance and is currently substitute teaching within the school district often at Sky View! She has a 7th grade daughter at Sky View and a 9th grade son at Mountain View. She has been a member of her children’s school PTSA’s for many years, because she feels passionate about supporting the schools, staff and teachers in our communities. She loves doing anything outdoors and loves the beautiful place we live.
Katie Bass – Vice President of Teacher Events
Katie grew up in Bend and is excited to be now raising her own kids here. She has a 7th grader at Sky View, along with a 1st and 5th grader at Ponderosa. Katie loves being involved in her kids’ schools through volunteering, being a PTSA member and occasionally subbing.
Erin Woods – Vice President of Student Events
Erin is a native Bendite, met her husband Jeff in 7th grade pre-algebra at High Desert Middle School, and loves that they get to raise their kids here in her hometown. She has a daughter who is a sophomore and oldest son who is a freshman at Mountain View, and two younger sons who are in 6th and 7th grade at Sky View. Erin is the owner/operator of a property management company here in Bend and loves the combination of office work and field work… balancing website building and contract management with fixing washing machines and rewiring outlets. Her kids make fun of her when she’s looking for a pen in her purse and she has to first remove the vice grips, screw driver, and needle nose plyers she carries around at all times in order to find one. When not working at a job that never closes, she loves to read historical fiction and volunteer at the kids’ schools in between, you know, feeding them, chauffeuring them all over town, washing forgotten dirty uniforms at midnight, and other fun hobbies like that.
Katie Speck – Treasurer
Born and raised in our beautiful Bend, OR, Katie is new to our SVMS PTSA board but not new to being on Parent/Teacher boards. She has served for the past eight years with other schools in our area. She can frequently be found shuttling her three kiddos, twins in 8th grade and a 4th grader, to their various sporting events when she is not helping at school or working. She is excited to join the board and help make it a fun year for our students, teachers, and families.
