Hello! My name is Jessica Churches, and I am teaching 3rd grade ELA! I am a graduate of Western Governors University with a Bachelors in Elementary Education. This will be my fourth year teaching at Pikeville Elementary. Prior to getting my teaching degree, I worked at PES for 6 years as an assistant. I am excited for this school year! It's going to be a great year! I am married to my best friend, Tim Churches. We have two beautiful children, Kaylynn and Karter. Our family includes our four dogs, Summit, Journi, Shadow, and Daisy. During my free time, I enjoy watching my children play sports, spending time with my family, and occasionally when time allows I enjoy crafting. I look forward to this school year and cannot wait to watch the children in 3rd grade grow!
