This week’s Homegrown Hero is Rasheda Phinn, first grade teacher at Camden Street School. This past week we caught up with her to know more about her story, and what she has experienced since the pandemic started. We thank Rasheda for all her efforts and for inspiring our club with her acts.
“I've been a teacher, this will be my 18th year being an educator, I've taught preschool, all the way up to first grade. This is the first year that I moved with my kids from kindergarten and followed them to first grade. I’m very passionate about teaching, I love what I do, more so because it's one of those jobs where you know, you reap the benefits by seeing the growth, you start with a blank slate, where you don't know what you're getting, and the children that you're receiving every year.
