On the evening of April 12, hundreds of Homewood City Schools supporters gathered at SoHo Square for the fifth annual Homewood Grown fundraiser.
The fundraiser directly benefits the Homewood City Schools Foundation, which uses funds raised to give back to all Homewood City Schools. One of the ways the Foundation supports the schools is by giving grants to teachers within the school system for innovative classroom projects or for professional development. They also recognize teachers from each school who have made a significant impact on their students.
This year, at Homewood Grown, the Foundation presented five teachers with the Teacher Impact Awards:
- Connie Collins, Hall Kent Elementary
- Carrie Baguley, Edgewood Elementary
- Rebecca Smith, Shades Cahaba Elementary
- Eric Swope, Homewood Middle School
- Kelly Reaves, Homewood High School
Each recipient was given $500 to be put toward classroom projects or professional development.
