Local teacher receives proclamation from mayor for her work mentoring girls
HUMBOLDT, Tenn.–A local teacher received a high honor Tuesday from the mayor of Humboldt.
Tiffany Purnell, creator of Students Against Self-Hatred, of SASH received a proclamation for her great work and uplifting youth.
Purnell mentors elementary school girls to promote self-confidence.
“I am blessed by these girls each and every year when I have a new class of SASH girls, I am blessed because I see them grow, I see them come to me as being real timid and shy and when they leave they’re like Beyonce’s little sister, ” said Purcell.
The SASH program is also offered in Nebraska and Mississippi. They also have an upcoming SASH pageant.
