Literature

Rebecca Myers teaches Literature at St. Nicholas Orthodox Academy, and has done so since the
Academy opened in 2001. Before that, she taught in a Home School collective which included many of
the first students at St. Nicholas. She is a graduate of Sarah Lawrence College as an English major, Art
History Minor. She is the wife of the pastor of our church, St. John, the Wonderworker, and currently
the church’s choir director.

Rebecca grew up in the Northeast, but was born in West (by God ) Virginia and has also lived in
California and Maine. However, for the last twenty-five years, Atlanta has been her home and she
considers herself southern by adoption.

Her two greatest literary passions are Shakespeare and Dickens, but she admits to a relentless pursuit
of the modern murder mystery. She loves books as books, and is dedicated to the preservation of
the classics in modern education, but not to the exclusion of modern technologies and literature.

Sarah Kalaris is a recent graduate of Agnes Scott College in Decatur, GA, where she received her B.A.
in History and a Secondary School teaching certificate. During her time at Agnes Scott she served as
the Editor-in-Chief of the school’s yearbook, the Silhouette. This is why she is so excited to be able to
continue to work with students in this capacity.

Sarah grew up in Daphne, Alabama, but is now happy to call Atlanta home. St. John the Wonderworker
and St. Nicholas Orthodox Academy have offered tremendous support over the last five years and she
considers both groups of people to be part of her family.

Sarah is excited to be entering her second year at St. Nicholas and looks forward to teaching writing and
social studies on a number of different levels. She is passionate about reading for pleasure, educational
theory and war history. She looks forward to our expansion of the lower school and many more years at
St. Nicholas.
