Hi Lil' Spartans! My name is Shelley Merritt and this is my eleventh year teaching. I received my degree in Elementary Education from the University of South Alabama. I also have my Master's Degree in Education. I am married to my wonderful husband of 19 years. We have 2 children; Allie is in 9th grade and Collens is in 11th grade at Saraland High School. We stay very busy with all of their sporting events and we love traveling anywhere my husband can hike. I am very excited about a wonderful school year and being a part of your child's kindergarten school year.
