About The Teacher

My name is Lisa Erdley.  I was born in Nashville, Tennessee at Baptist 
Hospital on April 28, 1968.  I was raised in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee by my 
parents, Larry and Linda Kent.  I am an only child.  I attended Mt. Juliet 
Elementary, Junior High, and High School and graduated in 1986.  I then 
attended Middle Tennessee State University and graduated with a Marketing 
degree.
	
I worked in the insurance industry for 15 years but always dreamed of being 
a teacher.  Finally, in 2002 I learned about Cumberland’s licensure and 
Master’s program and decided to answer the call to become a teacher.  I 
truly believe that being a teacher is a calling.  I was afraid I would 
always have regrets if I didn’t try to attain my goal.  Finally, after 
working full time, going to school, and juggling my family responsibilities, 
I have reached my goal. This is my third year at Mt. Juliet Elementary. I 
couldn’t have made it without my parents and family’s tremendous support!  I 
enjoy teaching because every day is a new challenge.  I love being with my 
students in the classroom learning together.  My least favorite thing about 
teaching is getting up so early!

My husband’s name is Jack and we have two daughters.  Abbie is twelve years 
old and in the seventh grade at West Wilson Middle School and Emily is three 
years old.  My husband works for HRI company and is also a Major in 
the Army National Guard.  I am so proud of them!  

I enjoy reading all types of books.  I also love scrap booking, gardening, 
laughing with my friends, and traveling with my family.  We really have fun 
with outdoor activities and visiting National Parks.  We hope to visit as 
many National Parks as possible in the coming years.

Mission For The Class

My mission is to make each day a positive, enriching experience in the 
classroom.  It is my mission to make each year a memorable step in the 
journey of learning.  Those things learned with pleasure are never forgotten.
