Welcome! My name is Meryl Hayes and I teach Kindergarten at State Street Academy. I have taught Kindergarten here for 4 years. Before working at SSA, I taught preschool for one year, was a Title I Interventionist for 6 years and a substitute teacher for one year before that. I received my degree in Elementary Education from Saginaw Valley State University.

I have been married for 14 years and am blessed with 2 children. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching movies, attending my son's sporting events and watching my daughter dance. I feel extremely blessed to be a part of the SSA family. Our families and staff are both amazing and supportive. It truly is a great family to be a part of.
