I am Mrs. Leach and I teach 6th grade Reading & Language Arts! This is my 7th year teaching 6th grade.

I am originally from a small town in northwest Iowa.  I moved to Sioux Falls, SD to attend college at Augustana College.  I earned a degree in elementary education along with middle school and coaching endorsements. Upon graduation, I returned to Augustana and earned my Master's degree in education as well. 

My family is a very important part of my life.  My husband Jason and I have one daughter, Karalynn Mae and a son, Taten John.  Kara turned five in April and loves to dance and cheer, play school and be a big sister!  She will be a kindergartner this year and is very excited to finally go to school too!  Tate is a very active two year old and loves to play any sport he can throw a ball in!  He is constantly trying to keep up with his big sister in everything.  We also have a chocolate lab named Augie who tries to compete for attention too!
