Greetings!  I am Melinda Sawyer.  I am originally from New Jersey.  I moved to Georgia to attend Emory University where I earned my degree in elementary education.  I started teaching in 1996 while earning a Master of Education from Mercer University.  I have taught all grades from Kindergarten to fifth. I have been at Shakerag since 2006 and teaching in the TAG department since 2009.  
I have 2 children who attended Shakerag, River Trail, and Northview. I love reading, traveling with my husband, and doing logic problems in my spare time.  I am also mommy to two dogs: Louie (Yorkie) and Pepper (Shih tzu). 

Hello! I am Nancy Weisberg-Herald and I am happy to call Shakerag my home.  I earned both my Undergraduate Degree and my Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from Emory University. I am currently starting my 16th year of teaching TAG in Fulton County and my 24th year of teaching overall. I have 2 children, Josh and Alex, who are now both living and working in Atlanta, which makes me a happy mom! My husband, Mark, and I love to watch movies, play with the grandkids, go to concerts and head back to my hometown of Sarasota to visit family and enjoy the beach. I also love to read, play tennis, and spoil my dog Toby! I am looking forward to another great year at Shakerag!
