Daily News | Three Camden teachers got $5,000 during surprise visits amid tears and cheers
As cheers erupted in the classroom, Nelms, pregnant with her first child, bent over, hugging her belly. Tears streamed down her face. A student shouted, “That’s my teacher!”
This is the third year that the Camden Education Fund has given the RISE Award to outstanding teachers. School principals nominated 50 candidates and an outside committee narrowed the field to eight finalists and then three winners, said executive director Giana Campbell. Nelms said she would likely use the award money to complete a nursery for her baby, a boy due in July.
Mercado, a Camden native, graduated from Creative Arts in 2010 and fulfilled his dream to return to teach in his hometown in 2016 after graduating from Howard University.
