'Fearless' educator mourned
Beloved principal drowned diving in Stoney Lake
Wanted students to 'take on life with dignity'
By Hilda HOY,
Staff
Reporter
Students loved Althea
RHOOMS.
The long-time teacher and principal had an infectious laugh and
was always ready with a hug at the end of each school day.
She was also the whip-smart businesswoman who made sure students'
education wasn't compromised by funding cuts, and fought tirelessly
to improve her schools.
Always up for a good challenge, Rhooms was a woman described
by best friend Sharon
ALLEYNE as "strong, fearless."
"She could be strict in some ways, but there was always love
for the students and lots of hugs," said Mike
TIMOTHEOU, father
of one of her students.
RHOOMS, who loved the outdoors, rowed Saturday in the Toronto
International Dragon Boat Race Festival, competing on the Toronto
District School Board team.
The next day, she participated in a practice dive at Stoney Lake
near Peterborough with her scuba diving club. She had been diving
almost weekly for a year, Friends and family said.
But on Sunday, she began having breathing problems under water
and never made it up. She was 43.
The coroner's office is still probing what caused her death.
RHOOMS worked as a teacher before serving as vice-principal at
McMurrich Junior Public School for two years, and then principal
at Humewood Community School for three years.
She transferred to Maple Leaf Public School this past December,
following her passion to the Jane St. and Lawrence Ave. neighbourhood
where 65 per cent of her students have African or Caribbean backgrounds.
"She wanted them to grow up and take on life with dignity," said
ALLEYNE.
RHOOMS volunteered for Women for P.A.C.E. (Project for Advancement
of Childhood Education), a group promoting early childhood education
in both Canada and her native Jamaica.
"She wanted to be a leader in the African Canadian community,"
said Trustee Josh
MATLOW. "(At
Maple
Leaf) she found a place
in the world to be a leader and provide mentorship to young students."
Principal Rita
GARRY, who took
RHOOMS's place at Humewood, said
she took the assignment at the new school because "there were
a lot of students from the black community there. She wanted
to be a role model for the female students."
Flags were flying at half-mast and grief counsellors had been
brought in at her former schools.
At a graduation ceremony at Maple Leaf yesterday, students spent
what should have been a day of celebration, memorializing a lost
friend.
RHOOMS leaves her parents, younger brothers Wayne and Jason,
and her 18-year-old son, Gyasi. Funeral arrangements are still
being made.

desire, donations to Women for P.A.C.E. would be greatly appreciated.
