Hi! My name is Julia Panarella, and I’m beyond excited to be joining The Catholic Academy of Stamford as a 4th grade teacher! I’m originally from Southington, Connecticut, and recently graduated from Le Moyne College in Syracuse, New York, with my Bachelor’s degree in Inclusive Childhood Education. I’m dual certified in Childhood Education and Students with Disabilities for grades 1–6. During my time at Le Moyne, I also played Division II softball, which taught me teamwork and the importance of showing up every day with a positive mindset, all of which I’m excited to bring into my classroom. This is my first year teaching and I’m excited to start this journey and have a wonderful school year with the CAS community!
