Art Teacher at Masonboro Elementary
Hi, my name is Suzanne M. Sload. I have been very happy teaching at Parsley/ Masonboro for the last 23 years. It's hard to believe that Parsley opened it's doors 23 years ago this fall. Time flies when you're having fun. Here is a bit about me. After receiving a B.S. in Art Education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), my husband and I moved to Wilmington, NC. For 29 years, I've taught in the New Hanover County School system. Prior to Parsley/Masonboro, I taught at J.C. Roe and Alderman. I have two wonderful children who were Parsley Patriots. My daughter, Sophia, who is 22, is in Graduate School at UNC Chapel Hill and my son, Curren, who is 19, is a sophomore at UNCW. How time flies. It seems like only yesterday that they were in Kindergarten at Parsley. Some of my personal favorite media in art are painting and clay. Now, you can probably figure out why your children bring home several clay projects throughout the year. (they love it, too) I am happy doing what I love, teaching students the technique and beauty of art.
Mission Statement:
It is my goal that all children are given the opportunity to express their feelings through art, to be exposed to many various art techniques and artists throughout time
