About Mrs. Merritt
Hi! My name is Mrs. Merritt. This is my sixth year teaching with Jenison Public Schools. For the 2015-2016 school year I will be teaching Geometry and Algebra 1B. I am so excited to start my sixth year of teaching, especially with such a great school district!
I graduated from Grand Valley State University in May 2010 with my teaching degree in mathematics and biology. I grew up in West Michigan, I graduated high school from Byron Center and now live in Jenison with my wonderful husband, my boys Asher (age 2) and Brooks (4 months), and our dog Silas. We love to walk, hike, and see all of the beautiful things our state and country have to offer!
Teaching is my passion and I am grateful that I have the opportunity to work with kids every day in a subject area that I enjoy. I believe that all of my students can learn and I hope to make that learning interesting and exciting for them!
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me any time at [email protected].

Randy Pausch - The Last Lecture
Randy Pausch wrote this speech as his "last lecture" in order to inspire others to follow their dreams. Watch the video!
"Experience is what you get when you don't get what you wanted."
"Brick walls are there for a reason: they let us prove how badly we want things."
"Have a sense of fun and wonder, that should never go away."
If you want to achieve your dreams:
- work and play well with others
- tell the truth
- apologize (properly)
- wait, and people will show you their good side
- show gratitude
- don't complain, just work harder
