Judges Needed for Science Fair Presentations
|
From December 3-6, Sedgefield Middle scholars will flaunt their science know-how at our school science fair. To make this event a sure-fire success, volunteers are needed to help judge project oral presentations.
No science qualifications are needed (you'll be trained prior to judging) and all judges will receive a snack (Pavlovian conditioning, perhaps?) A variety of time slots are available to volunteer,
so click here to sign up today. Science fair winners will be announced on December 12 at the Holiday Arts night.

Spartan Spotlight: Ms. Stephanie Sherer
|
Ms. Sherer is in her third year at Sedgefield Middle and is both our sixth grade counselor and seventh grade co-counselor. She works to meet the socio-emotional needs of students by providing them with individual and small group counseling, while doing daily check-ins for our scholars needing additional support. Her role also covers everything from coordinating programs with community partners and neighborhood feeder schools, to registering new scholars and helping them choose the appropriate course placement. She recently organized a fantastic pep rally for rising sixth graders, so they could come and learn more about Sedgefield Middle.
Prior to joining Sedgefield, Ms. Sherer was a counselor at Weddington High School. When asked her favorite thing about working in a middle school, she said, “Every day is different in the middle school world. Scholars are learning, growing and experiencing new things. I truly enjoy helping them work through all of life’s many transitions. I love seeing scholars ‘love’ school. School should be fun. Learning is fun.”

When inclement weather strikes, our scholars move indoors for HAC (recess) time. You can help keep the fun going inside by donating new or gently used games to play!
Examples of middle-school appropriate games include: playing cards, Uno, Jenga, Monopoly, Sorry, Trouble, chess and checkers.
Please send your donations to the front office to the attention of the PTO; games will be collected in the parent room. If donating gently used games, please ensure all pieces are included.
