Congratulations to Ms. Ebtesam Ibrahim on her recognition as the September 2022 FCPS CARES Region 1 Recipient of the Month by the FCPS Department of Human Resources.

The FCPS CARES Program is an opportunity for parents, staff, and community members to recognize FCPS employees for going above and beyond to help others and show they care. We invite you to submit your story below, so we can all acknowledge the good work of FCPS employees.

Below is the write-up submitted by Ms. Rena Rose, a Dranesville Elementary School colleague of Mrs. Ibrahim.

Ms. Sam, as my students call her, joined our school community full-time post-pandemic. She consistently goes above and beyond to help teachers in any way that she can, even when she has a million things on her to do list. She will always offer to put her duties aside to help us get things done without hesitation. Not only is she such a tremendous part of why our building sparkles, but she is also a major reason why we all smile. Sam takes the time to get to know about us, our lives, and our students. As part of a Positivity Project school and the Other People Matter Mindset, my students try very hard to impress Ms. Sam with their cleaning skills so that she doesn't have to do an ounce more. She consistently comes in to thank the students and explain just how much their kindness and responsibility mean to her. They love the visits, and she knows their names! She is just a delight to be around. Her hardworking ethic is seen and appreciated by both staff and students!
