Meet the Teacher
Mrs. Victoria Gressle

Welcome to 5th grade!! This is my 9th year of teaching and my 8th year at Benhaven. I'm super excited to be your students' teacher this year. I will be spending a lot of time with your child this year learning so much about them and learning with them. Let me introduce myself to you. I am from Florida and moved to North Carolina about 16 years ago. I fell in love with North Carolina from visiting my husband's family and we knew that North Carolina was where we were meant to be. I have been married for almost 21 years and have 3 boys. My boys are my life and I love spending time at home with them. I love white chocolate, shopping, playing with my dogs, and reading.
Parents are always welcome to come in and volunteer in my room. Parents, please communicate with me on a regular basis through notes, email or the dojo app. It is important that I be kept informed of any changes, illnesses, or events that may affect your child at school. Please know that you can always call and leave a message (919-499-4811).
Please do not hesitate to contact me when needed.
