This is Jennifer’s third year on the Sallie Jones Elementary PTO board.  She and her husband, Matt, have been married for 10 years and have three beautiful children: Adelyn (9), Sayde (6), and Maverick (3).  Jennifer and her family relocated to Punta Gorda in 2015 from Concord, NC, where she taught High school English for many years.

Jennifer grew up in a small beach town in southern New Jersey until she moved to NC, for college.  She graduated from Catawba College with an English degree, minors in Secondary Education and Math, and four years of college softball on her resume. After college, she stayed in North Carolina and began teaching High School English, coaching softball, and taking the positions of Yearbook Advisor, Prom Advisor, Student Council Co-Advisor, new teacher mentor, and lead English teacher.  She is now a stay-at-home mom and the CEO of her family’s business, ElevenCubed LLC. She is really excited for this new year and cannot wait to get started in this new role with the focus on helping the SJES community reach goals and make wonderful memories!


Danielle and her husband are a blended family and have 5 children.  Her two youngest children attend Sallie Jones, 1 is in High School, 1 is a Freshman in College, and 1 is in College finishing her Master's Degree.

Danielle was born in Indiana but grew up in Port Charlotte, FL. She has a Bachelor Degree in Business Management and is currently a stay at home mom, the Women's Ministry Leader at her church, and owns and operates a family lawn business with her husband. She has enjoyed serving our community and putting together many events for women and families.

Danielle's husband, Jarrett, was born and raised in Port Charlotte, FL.  He is currently a Lieutenant Paramedic for the Punta Gorda Fire Department.  

In their spare time, Danielle and her family enjoy taking family road trips, she especially loves places that are rich in history.  They also enjoy spending time on the water boating or fishing and the kids like to participate in the local junior fishing tournaments.


Natalie has been a resident of Punta Gorda for 14 years and is starting her third year in the Sallie Jones community. She is an attorney and a proud Double Gator (Bachelor’s and Law degrees from the University of Florida). She is married to her college sweetheart, Ryan. Their favorite hobbies as a family are hiking, biking, and traveling as much as possible. 

Her daughter, Brynn, is entering 2nd grade this year. Natalie is eager to get acquainted with the new Sallie Jones families and is excited to get started on an amazing third year as a board member, helping support our awesome teachers, staff, students, and families.


This is Colleen's second year on the PTO board, but she isn't new to Sallie Jones. She and her husband, Jake, moved here from Indiana in 2020. Their 2 daughters, Lily and Hailey, both attend Sallie Jones. Colleen has also been a substitute teacher at Sallie Jones for the last 3 years.

Prior to having kids, Colleen was a Product Development Engineer for Cummins. Since having kids, she has been a stay at home mom. Now, she is excited to get more involved in all the exciting activities that Sallie Jones offers for their students, staff, and families.
