Another successful year at Homewood Grown
This year, over 540 people gathered for the annual Homewood Grown event, which took place on April 20, from 6 to 9 p.m. at SoHo on the Plaza.

Presentations were given on the five Teacher Impact Award winners.
The five winners were as follows:
- Mary Thomas, Edgewood Elementary School
- Linda Klopack, Hall Kent Elementary School
- Genie Christian, Shades Cahaba Elementary School

The event also included a welcome by Homewood High alum Tim Simpson and a keynote address from 2013-2014 Alabama Teacher of the Year Alison Grizzle, a Homewood High alum and the director of organizational development for The Homewood Star.
