I am Erica Peake and I love kids! And being a teacher is what I am called to do! When I was younger, I would play 'school' in my bedroom for hours. I would make rosters, grade papers, and use my brown, wooden bedroom door as a chalkboard to teach my imaginary students. I always knew I had a passion to reach and teach kids. 

I graduated from LE High and USC! I received my Bachelor's Degree in Middle-Level Education in 2011. I’ve taught for eight years in middle school, but I am so excited to come to the elementary world!  I am excited to be part of this amazing team at LES. 5th grade is going to be a blast, and I cannot wait to serve and love our kids! 

I am married to a wonderful man, Travis, and we have three sweet boys; Kolt (8), Kendall (4), and Kyler (almost 2)! Our family loves trips to the beach, going on evening golf cart rides, spending time with friends, and grilling out! I love reading by the ocean, anything colorful, and exclamation points!!!
