Welcome!  My name is Melanie Granade, and I am a fourth grade teacher at Saraland. I am married to Jody, and we have been married for 22 years. We have a daughter, Lorren, and she is starting her first year at UAB. We also have a son, Preston, and he is 11 years old. He attends Saraland Middle School. I am a resident of Saraland and have been in this area all of my life. I enjoy reading, shopping, and I also enjoy spending time with my family.
