Northwood Spotlight: Victoria Vermiglio
5th Grade Teacher

 

I currently teach 5th grade at Northwood. I have been a part of the 5th grade team for three years now and I love it! Before teaching on Mercer Island I spent a year in Seattle teaching a 4/5th grade split class. The year before that I taught kindergarten in Wisconsin. I love being around all ages of students and am happy I was able to get a chance to work in multiple grade levels. 

 

 

I am originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In elementary school, I moved frequently around the US before settling in northern Wisconsin for middle and high school. After high school I moved back to Milwaukee for college. I moved to Seattle about four years ago just for adventure. I love traveling and enjoyed visiting Seattle, so I decided to move here. It’s absolutely beautiful here, I love Mercer Island, and am so glad that I’m able to be a part of the Northwood community! 

 

 

 

When I am not at school I enjoy going on walks, hiking, and exploring Seattle’s restaurants. I love going for long walks on the beach or through my neighborhood because it allows me to calm my mind while getting in some light exercise. I also enjoy hiking and exploring Washington’s vast amount of scenic hikes. It’s a great way to spend a Saturday morning in my eyes! Lastly, I love to eat! I am not a picky eater and love trying new cuisines and restaurants in the area. 

 

 

Something I’ve been meaning to try but haven’t gotten around to is baking. I love to cook and try out new recipes. When I was a child my mom would bake every Sunday and I loved helping her. It has been on my radar for a long time but I just haven’t been able to find the time lately to try to out any recipes. Hopefully the winter will bring some down time so I can get some baking done!
