Name: Sterling Stevenson

Role at DES: Assistant to Stamatovich (K) and Blackwell (1)

What did you do prior to coming to DES? I was a 3rd/4th grade teacher for 8 years and a Reading pull-out teacher for 1 year.

Where did you go to school? I went to NC State (BA Psychology) and UNC-Charlotte (BA Elementary Education)

What is your favorite thing about being a DES Dragon? I love that I am working in my neighborhood school. I love that my own children will come here and I can be a part of this wonderful community in Charlotte.

Family: Husband-John, 2 sons-- Banks (almost 4) and Mac (2)

If you weren't an educator, you would be . . . . . a vet

Your favorite thing to do on the weekend is . . . . . play at the park with my boys, play tennis, go to NC State football games 

 

Who was your favorite elementary teacher and why? My 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Ferguson. She believed in me. I knew I wanted to be a teacher then, and she allowed me to grow in her class. She was later my high school guidance counselor, where she continued to guide me in pursuing my dreams.

What is your favorite book(s) for elementary readers? Charlotte's Web

What's your favorite holiday and why? Christmas--especially now. To listen to my boys talk about Santa, and the excitement and joy it brings to them, lights up my world. It is so cute! :)
