Hello! My name is Donia Martinez. I have worked for Deer Trail School for the past 5 years. In my time at Deer Trail, I've worked as a Kindergarten Paraprofessional, 1st Grade Teacher and finally Kindergarten Teacher. I truly love Kindergarten and seeing the amazing growth and progress that is made. My favorite subject to teach is Reading and I love being creative with different crafts throughout the year. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband and 3 children. When we aren’t attending our children’s sporting events we enjoy traveling and camping.
I look forward to teaching your child and getting to know your family.
Hannah Peek
Kindergarten Teacher
- Hello! My name is Hannah Peek. I was born and raised here in Colorado. I grew up on a farm here in Deer Trail. I have been working with children since fifth grade, starting out volunteering in my mom’s high-needs classroom, and that’s where I knew I wanted to work with children in some capacity as my career. I’ve worked professionally in the educational system, in various positions, for eight years with preschoolers to 12th graders and in the high needs programs and SPED classrooms. I had the opportunity to work with varying curriculums throughout my career. My favorite subject is math and my favorite teaching style is a mixture of kinesthetic and tactile learning. Outside of school, I love hiking with my dogs, riding horses, bouldering, nature photography, and making art. I look forward to getting to know all of you and your children.

Hi, I am Lori Peek. I have lived in Colorado since I was three years old and have always loved living here. I can’t imagine being anywhere else. From hiking and camping in the mountains to having beautiful changes of the seasons, it has always been a gorgeous place to live. I have been married for 32 years and have two children, a boy and a girl, whom I am very proud of. My son has blessed me with one grandchild. My Flower gardens and walks with the dogs on our farm are my happy places. Living in the country is such a blessing that I am so thankful for every day.
I have been working in the school districts since 2005 in the elementary schools with children that have special needs. The joy and love comes back tenfold from these sweet children is extraordinary. Over the years they have touched my heart in so many ways that I will never be able to repay. Unfortunately, my body was telling me I needed to step back this last year and be a general education paraprofessional which has shown to be hilarious. From working one on one to watching and listening to an entire classroom of students has brought me to tears of laughter at times with how smart, clever, and funny they can be. I hope I am blessed to do this for many years to come.
