About This Cause
Victoria "Vicki" Soto was the beloved daughter of Donna and Carlos Soto and sibling to Jillian, Carlee and Mathew. From a very close knit family in Stratford CT. She was a first grade teacher who was tragically murdered while teaching her class at Sandy Hook Elementary School, along with 5 other educators and 20 children. She was a passionate teacher who loved "her kids" and loved teaching. Ms. Soto, as she was known to her first grade students, was a passionate, dedicated, creative, funny, loving Sandy Hook Elementary School teacher. Every day she was excited and eager to be in her classroom teaching her students. Her level of commitment to education went above and beyond. Her energy and enthusiasm radiated off of her, and it was clear she loved being in her classroom. From Math to Reading, Ms. Soto had a higher understanding of how children learned, and taught such that all the children in her classroom were growing each and every day. She prided herself on being the “cool” teacher at school and loved to make the kids smile and laugh. Spirit Week was one of her favorite times – dressing up in mismatched outfits, crazy hair or anything to make the kids laugh. She was the first one at school every day and the last to leave, planning each day to be the best it could be. She was passionate about teaching, and our hope is, through this fund, she will continue to inspire others to teach as well. Our foundation was created right after her death to honor her memory and her legacy. Live Laugh Love as Vicki did.
