Hi Lil' Spartans! My name is Shelley Merritt and this is my twelfth 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 20 years. We have 2 children; Allie is in 10th grade and Collens is a senior 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.
