Spartan Spotlight: Ms. Evonne Peterson
|
During her 25 years at Sedgefield Middle, Ms. Peterson has worn many hats. Today, she teaches both Art and Genius Hour electives. Additionally, she serves as the SLT chairperson, the staff representative on the PTO board, is a member of the AR committee and is a Spartan Robotics Facilitator.
Born and raised in Charlotte, Ms. Peterson holds a bachelor’s degree in art education from North Carolina Central University; a master’s degree in art education from Winthrop University; a master’s of education in reading, language arts and literacy from UNCC; and certification in school administration from Western Carolina University.
Ms. Peterson was inspired by her mother, an educator for more than 30 years, to become a teacher. “The work I do is very rewarding,” she said. “In my art classes, students learn about the importance of art, how art is used as a creative form of expression, to convey social and/or political views, and created for different purposes – both functional and decorative.” Her students participate in art displays, exhibits and attend field trips to learn about artists.

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.
