Oak Mountain teacher recognized as ‘top notch’

Riverchase Galleria recently presented Oak Mountain Elementary teacher Rosalyn Dixon with the title of Top Notch Teacher in their Celebrate Teachers contest. The goal of the contest is to recognize a local teacher who shows extra effort and caring in the classroom and affects his or her students’ lives in positive and unique ways. 

A parent of one of her students nominated Dixon. Others in the community cast their votes online to support Dixon as a deserving candidate. Dixon has been a second-grade teacher at Oak Mountain Elementary for seven years. 

After an all-day field trip to the zoo with her students, Dixon arrived back at the school to a surprise announcement and presentation from the Riverchase Galleria. She was awarded a $500 gift card and an ice cream party with her students provided by Häagen-Dazs.
