In her own words . . .


“My passion in teaching is what gives me the strength to wake up every day, no matter what I am facing in my personal life, because I know my students will be waiting for me to have fun in learning in a safe and lovely environment.”


In the words of others . . .


“Ms. Urrutia is a joy. She is beyond caring of those that she works with and her scholars that she works for—daily. She will go out of her way to bring a smile, ease a burden, or show concern for anyone struggling. She is thoughtful, loving, and just a bit sentimental. She is an overall outstanding human being.”

– Aaron Dominguez, Treasure Forest Elementary Principal

“She works hard to meet the needs of her students by creating lessons that bring learning to life. Vivian is a passionate educator who is knowledgeable, dependable, and always willing to improve her craft. She is an experienced team leader and her easy going, flexible nature makes her a joy to work with on a daily basis.”
