Hi Lil' Spartans! My name is Shelley Merritt and this is my nineth year teaching. I received my degree in Elementary Education from the University of South Alabama. I also have my Master's of Education. I am married to my wonderful husband of 17 years. We have 2 children, one attends Saraland Middle School and one attends Saraland High School. We stay very busy with all their sporting events and we love traveling anywhere my husband can hike. I am very excited for a wonderful school year, and to be a part of your child's kindergarten school year.
