CMS students and teachers highlighted in national news
National NBC crews have been all over Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools the past two weeks, filming segments for 'Education Nation', a week-long look at public education in America.
Tryon Hills Pre-K Center was the setting for NBC's look into the importance of early education. The crew observed two classes, then spoke with teachers and students about how having a Pre-K foundation can support a child's education.
This past week, an NBC crew got a first-hand look into the life of fourth-grade Sterling Elementary student Jevón Dixon. While at Sterling, NBC interviewed some of the outstanding teachers who are making a difference in the lives of students. Sterling has been noted as an excellent example of a Turnaround School and recently hosted a round table discussion with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan.
NBC's day at Sterling will be featured Sunday, Sept. 26 on the Today Show from 8-9 a.m., during NBC's Town Hall meeting on MSNBC cable channel 50 at noon, and on NBC Nightly News at 6:30 p.m. Tryon Hills' students and teachers make their debut later in the week. At the time of this email, NBC was unable to confirm specific dates and times.
