Greetings, I would like to take this opportunity and formally introduce myself; my name is Jerisha L. May and I will be partnering with you this year on an adventure that I call Kindergarten. I am a proud native of Birmingham, Alabama.  I am the second oldest of four girls.  One thing that is unique about me is that I am the oldest of twin girls. My degree in Elementary Education was obtained from Stillman College located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I am a highly qualified certified teacher who has been with the Birmingham City School System for seventeen and a half years. This will be my fourteenth year serving on the Sun Valley Elementary faculty. I previously served on the Hudson K-8, and Bush K-8 faculties. I am deeply honored to be a facilitator in your child's educational journey for it was Alexandria K. Trenfor who once said, "The best teachers are those that show you where to look, but don't tell you what to see."
