We are beyond blessed to have Mrs. Robin Richardson as the School Counselor at Iva Elementary. She is more than a counselor to our faculty, families, and students. She is a leader, a listening ear, a go-getter, an encourager, and an advocate. She truly wants what is best for our students and works hard to ensure they have the support they need in order to succeed. Her love for our students and her job shines through in all that she does. Please help us show her some love as we celebrate her this week! Thank you Mrs. Richardson for all that you do day in and day out. We love you!
