Get to know your teacher, Ms. Bennett!
Hi! My name is Victoria Bennett. The 2016-2017 school year marks my tenth year as a teacher at Carrie Downie Elementary School. I have taught other grade levels, but Kindergarten is my favorite! I am dually certified, which means I am qualified to teach both regular and special education students. I was nominated and chosen as Carrie Downie's Teacher of the Year in 2012. I am proud to be a part of the Carrie Downie family, and I truly love what I do!

Education...I love to learn!
I went to elementary school right here in Old New Castle, just like you! My school was called St. Peter's, and I finished 8th grade in 1998. I went to Padua Academy in Wilmington, DE for high school. I graduated in 2002. Then I went to the University of Delaware for College. I graduated in 2006 with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary and Special Education. Most recently, I graduated from Wilmington University in 2010 with a Master's Degree in Educational Technology.
I was in Kindergarten in 1989-1990. I still remember my teachers! My Kindergarten picture is on the left!
