I’m a mom to two boys, who will be heading into 3rd and 5th grade this year. We love being a part of the Totem Falls community! This is my third year involved with the PTO, and after helping lead the auction for the past two years, I’m excited to serve as PTO President this year. My goal is to continue fostering the strong sense of community we have at Totem Falls, support our amazing teachers and staff, and bring a little extra fun and excitement to our students’ school experience. I’m incredibly thankful for all of the families who get involved and contribute in so many ways. It truly takes a community to make a school special, and I’m looking forward to working together to create a wonderful and memorable year for our students, staff, and families!

I’m mom to third-grader Olivia Desimone and wife to Fred Desimone (Totem Falls alumnus!). I’m excited to be serving my third year with the PTO and I love helping to coordinate the many programs PTO provides for our Ravens! When I’m not doing PTO stuff, you’ll find me working as an Architectural Historian for a national engineering firm, or if I’m lucky, working on one of my hobbies…reading, quilting, and gardening. I’m looking forward to another year supporting our Totem Falls community!

I am beyond excited to serve as the Secretary on this year’s PTO Board! After serving the past two years as the Volunteer Coordinator, I’m looking forward to contributing in a new role and continuing to support our incredible school community.

  As a former kindergarten teacher and current substitute teacher, one of the things that brings me so much joy is getting to know our students and helping create a school experience where they feel supported, encouraged, and valued..  I love supporting our incredible staff, too!  Being at Totem Falls is truly my happy place! I am also a very proud mom of two Totem Falls students, April (3rd grade) and Marci (2nd grade).

I feel so grateful to be part of such a wonderful school community, and it’s an honor to give back by supporting our students, staff, and families. I believe a strong school community is built when families feel connected, involved, and welcome, and I look forward to creating opportunities that encourage participation and foster a true sense of belonging. I can’t wait to help make this a fun, successful, and memorable year for everyone!  Go Ravens!

I’m a proud mom of a wonderful third grader, and I’m excited that my younger child will be joining the Totem Falls community in 2027! This is my third year serving on the Board, and I’m thrilled to be returning as Treasurer alongside our new Co-Treasurer.

Being part of the PTO has been such a rewarding experience. I’ve loved giving back to our school, supporting our students and teachers, and helping create fun, memorable experiences for our families. Along the way, I’ve also had the privilege of building incredible friendships with some of the most dedicated and supportive parents in our community.

I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving our school and look forward to another amazing year of collaboration, community, and celebrating our wonderful kids. I can’t wait to see all that we accomplish together!

I joined the board to connect with our school community and support the dedicated teachers, staff, and families who make it so special. I've loved learning how much the PTO supports our school by funding library books, PE equipment, and other educational resources. I'm proud to be part of a group that helps enrich our kids' school experience.

My husband and I live in Gold Creek with our three children - Noah (4rd grade), Parker (1st Grade), and Lily (age 3). As a real estate broker and small business owner, investing in my neighborhood and school community is at the heart of my work and family life. I serve in the PTO to help build a strong school community, enhance the elementary experience for our kids, and bring families together to create meaningful memories. I also serve on the Board of Directors for Cocoon House, a nonprofit working to break the cycle of youth homelessness in Snohomish County.

I’m a proud mom to three energetic kiddos, my oldest heading into 4th grade, my middle one starting 1st grade, and our lively pre-k kiddo keeping me on my toes! This is my fourth year on the PTO Board (three as Vice President), and I’ve loved every bit of it as a room parent and in so many other volunteer roles. I’m also grateful to serve on the district Curriculum Board and CFAC.
I’m passionate about creating joyful ways for families to connect and feel truly part of our school community. For me, it’s all about turning everyday moments into meaningful relationships that help our kids and each other thrive. 

Hi, my name is Trisha, I have a 6th grader this year at Totem Falls! I decided to get involved with the PTO because it was another way to help out, be involved, and get to know more people around the school.

I am a proud mom of two kids at Totem Falls. My son, Logan, will be going into 4th grade, and my daughter, Audrey, will be going into 2nd grade. This will be my second year serving on the PTO, and I'm excited to be the Co-Volunteer Coordinator!
When my kids first started attending Totem Falls, I wanted to learn more about their school and find ways to get involved. I began volunteering in their classrooms, helping with class parties and PTO events, and serving as a classroom parent. Once I started volunteering, I quickly realized how much fun it was to work alongside other parents and be part of the Totem Falls community. That experience inspired me to join the PTO.
Last year was my first year on the PTO, and I gained a whole new appreciation for just how much the PTO does to support our school, teachers, staff, and students. We are so fortunate to have so many wonderful parents and family members who generously volunteer their time and help make Totem Falls such a special place.
I'm looking forward to another great year and am so excited to continue being part of this wonderful school community!

Hello! My name is Emily, and I'm the proud mom of a second grader at Totem Falls. This is my first year serving on the PTO Board, and I'm so excited to be part of this amazing community.

The PTO holds a special place in my heart because my mom served on the PTO throughout all of my elementary school years. I saw firsthand the impact that dedicated volunteers can have on creating memorable experiences for students, families, and staff, and I'm honored to continue that tradition.

Our family moved to Snohomish last year, and from the moment we arrived, Totem Falls welcomed us with open arms. This school is truly something special. The incredible staff, amazing students, and supportive families all share a genuine passion for making our school the best it can be. There really is nothing quite like the Totem Falls community.

I'm looking forward to helping bring families together, creating fun opportunities to connect, and making this a memorable year for all of our kids.

Hi my name is Rachel. I am new to the PTO this year but have been with Totem Falls for the past 3 years. I have 2 daughters that are excited to begin 2nd and 4th grade. I have enjoyed being an active room parent in the past and am looking forward to working with the PTO on a more school wide level. As PLUSS liaison, I will attend district level meetings and work closely with PTO members from other schools. I am looking forward to bringing that information back to Totem Falls to help shape our school's events and relationships with other PTOs. 

I have been a Stay at Home Mom for the past 9 years. In my pre-kid days, I worked in both Accounting and IT at Kasier Permanente (a healthcare company). I am currently also serving as a board member for The Falls HOA, as well as the CFAC committee for Snohomish SD (helping to determine which schools need funding for building updates in the upcoming bond). I am excited to add PTO PLUSS liaison to the list of acronyms I volunteer for.
