More Than a Day
Earth Day is a reminder—but the work happens all year.
Ten ESOL students (and Program Leader Katrina Bercaw!) spread out across our campus—front, back, along the fences, and even under the ramps—to clear litter and restore the space.
Their effort made an immediate difference. It looks better, feels better, and reflects the pride they take in their community.
Katrina leads this cleanup each year, bringing the same environmental commitment she lives every day into our program—and our students show up right alongside her.
Small actions. Real impact.
CAACE Conference 2026
Our team showed up, learned, and brought it back.
Norwich Regional Adult Education staff attended the Connecticut Association of Adult & Continuing Education (CAACE) Conference—joining educators from across the state for a full day of fresh ideas, real strategies, and meaningful conversations.
From digital literacy and workforce skills to classroom engagement and innovative instruction, our teachers explored what’s working—and how to bring it directly into our classrooms.
We were also honored to have Ned Lamont in attendance, highlighting the growing importance of adult education across Connecticut.
✔ Learning
✔ Sharing
✔ Improving
Because when our educators grow, our students succeed.
🩺 From Classroom to Care: CNA Students in Action!
Our Healthcare/CNA students are taking the next big step—putting their skills into practice during clinicals at Norwichtown Rehabilitation Center!
After weeks of hands-on training, instruction, and preparation, students are now:
✔️ Providing direct patient care
✔️ Practicing vital skills in a real healthcare setting
✔️ Building confidence and professionalism
✔️ Making meaningful connections with residents
These clinical experiences are where everything comes together—transforming knowledge into real-world impact.
A special thank you to the team at Norwichtown Rehabilitation Center for supporting and mentoring the next generation of caregivers!
The Team Behind the Success
Our team showed up, learned, and brought it back. Supporting students, building connections, and representing NRAE with style...our Case Management Team showed up in style at the CAACE Conference! We have Carol Perisho, our Transitions Guidance Counselor, and our two case managers, Ashley Quiles and Linda Burhans!
This incredible team supports students every day helping them set goals, overcome barriers, and stay on track toward success.
