Each year, Richmondmom.com recognizes the often unsung heroes in our community — those who spend countless hours educating and caring for our children. Click here to see our 2011 Richmond Top Teacher Winners & Nominees.
In this contest, you may nominate any Richmond-area teacher, from daycare to college, and we’ll post your nomination on the site. Once all nominations are in, readers will vote on the top three winners, who will receive almost $2,000 combined in gifts from our generous sponsors, especially Dominion Auto Group.
Here’s how Richmond’s Top Teacher Contest works:
1) Nominate your favorite Richmond, VA-area teacher at this link from 3/1-3/16.
2) We’ll notify you once all nominations are posted here, and you may then vote (just once per person) here on the site from 3/19-3/30.
Alexander Mustico, our Richmond Adopt-a-Classroom teacher. His class will receive a donation thanks to you!
3) We’ll make a $5 donation to our Richmond Adopt-A-Classroom class at Carver Elementary for each nomination we receive, at a minimum of $250.
4) Winners will be announced no later than 4/1/12 right here!
