CAN’T WAIT TO MEET THE GLIMPSERS!

Cat Leogrande, GGL

Welcome Glimpsers!

My name is Cat Leogrande and I am so excited to be a leader on our wonderful trip to Panama this summer. I am a teacher at Waterbury, CT (southwestern CT) Adult Education, a Grade 9-12 high school diploma program. Before the trip I wanted to let you know a little bit about myself.

I became a teacher as a 2nd career after owning my own small business for 18 years. I have been a teacher for 25 years both in middle school and high school.  I have a Master’s degree in Education with concentration in History.  I love to read and travel.  So far I have been to 49 states (ask me which is the only state I haven’t been to) as well as 23 countries.  My goal is to travel the world!

Teaching and learning are my passions.  I learn new things every single day and am looking forward to meeting, connecting and learning with you in a few weeks!

It was nice to talk to you Ms. Leogrande and thank you for reassuring me that Hannah will be fine and you will be a support for her and the other students. Thanks again and have a safe trip
