Meet Our Board

Here are our elected officers:

Rebecca Lawrence

President

This is our family’s 6th year at Towne Meadows Elementary and we love it!! I began volunteering with the Wolf Pack in 2021. This my 3rd year as President of the Wolfpack. I currently have both my girls here at TM, one in 3rd grade and another in 5th grade. Our family moved to 5 years ago from Maryland and could not love AZ more! I have a BS in Marketing from Salisbury University and am an Account Manager for an environmental sustainability software company.  In my free time I love to work out, craft and spend time with my family and friends.  As a family we have a love for the outdoors, camping and traveling, I am excited to serve on the board this year and really make a difference with our kids and TM community.

Robin Holmes

Vice President

I am so excited to start our 4th year here at TM. This is my third year on the PTO board and I can’t wait to meet our TM families and students. My husband and I have two children. Our 11-year-old is in 6th grade here at TM and our 7-year-old is in 1st grade. I am an ASU alumna, and I am a Program Manager at one of Arizona’s largest nonprofits that services children with various disabilities and development delays, as well as children in the foster care system. Our family loves TM and we are excited for this new school year!
