President Josh Coyle
Hello, my name is Josh Coyle and I have a ride or die wife and 3 amazing children! I have been actively trying to make the world a better place for them since 2014!
I am a Project Manager for a company that sells, designs and installs Sound Masking systems in commercial buildings throughout the state. I love working hand in hand with people to make their ideas come to life and plan on taking that work ethic to the next level with the staff and faculty at Sawgrass Lake!

Hello, My name is Nikki Lopez and my son Grayson, will be entering the first grade this year.
I work as a mail carrier for the post office and have been a relatively active parent at Sawgrass since 2021. I'm most excited about having an active role in the development of projects and activities that will benefit our school, teachers, and kids in the years to come.
I know each member of the PTA board; alongside the teachers and various staff have the school and kids' best interest at heart. I look forward to working with everyone to make this year memorable.

Treasurer - Bailey McCormick
This is my 6th year at Sawgrass, and my daughter is in 5th grade. I work in consulting for air conditioning companies. My #1 reason for being involved in the PTA is to help make Sawgrass a place where teachers and students are proud to come to school and feel the love and support of their school community.

Treasurer in Training - Crystal Palmgren
I’m entering my third year at Sawgrass with a daughter going into kindergarten. I work a full-time job at Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar’s corporate office. My #1 reason to be involved at Sawgrass Lake Elementary School with the PTA is to help support wherever I can because I quickly learned how passionate the teachers are about making a difference in the lives of the students they teach. I’m touched and inspired, and I want to do my part.

School Liaison - Jenny Payne
I joined the PTA at Sawgrass in 2018 when my kid's started kindergarten. I loved it so much I ended up getting a full-time job as the Family & Community Liaison 3 years ago. My kids had a great elementary career with Sawgrass and they are now moving on to middle school, but I am here to stay. You can find me in the front office. 🙂 I enjoy getting to know all the students and their families. Our teachers and staff are some of the best around.
