Congratulations to Ms. Dickerson, IRM’s Teacher of the Year! 💙🎉

Ms. Dickerson represents so much of what we value at IRM and @cpschoolsva. She plans with purpose, meets the needs of all learners, and creates a classroom where students feel supported, challenged, and successful.

She is always willing to learn, embrace new ideas, and share her learning with others. Most importantly, she cares deeply about her students and consistently shows up for them. She is also a dependable teammate who is always ready to support her colleagues, PLC, and grade level.

We are incredibly proud of Ms. Dickerson and grateful for all she does for our Braves! Please help us congratulate our Teacher of the Year! 🎉
