A Fond Farewell to Principal Turner!
|
On Monday, February 24, Mr. Turner served his final day as SMS principal before reporting for his exciting and much-deserved opportunity as the new principal at Vance High School. To celebrate him and his dedication to our Spartan community, a congratulatory crowd of teachers, staff, administration, CMS representatives, parents and scholars came together to bid Mr. Turner a fond farewell on Thursday in the media center.
During the party, the SMS staff and PTO joined together to celebrate and honor Mr. Turner by creating the Mr. Erik Michael Turner Student Leadership Award. Determined by teachers and staff, this honorary award will be given each graduation in perpetuity to one eighth grade SMS scholar who embodies the integrity, leadership and commitment to excellence demonstrated by Mr. Turner. You will be missed, Mr. Turner!
Beginning today, February 25, Dr. Maureen Furr will serve as acting principal at SMS until a permanent principal has been vetted. Dr. Furr retired from CMS in 2019 after 45 years as an educator, and prior to her retirement was the principal at South Mecklenburg High School since 2006. During her tenure at South Meck, the school population doubled to more than 3,000 students and was one of the largest and most diverse high schools in North Carolina. The Sedgefield Spartan family welcomes you, Dr. Furr!

Help Boost Literacy by Becoming a Reading Buddy!
|
Are you interested in reading with one of our amazing scholars once or twice a week? Our Reading Buddies Program is an amazing program matching a volunteer with one of our scholars to read books on a weekly basis together. Helping to model good reading, the Reading Buddies program provides success in literacy, students often become more positive about their ability to read and may also improve their reading skills. The school will have a selection of books for the scholar and Reading Buddy to select from based on the scholar’s reading level.
The times and days will be based on your availability and the scholar’s schedule.
