My name is Lesley Gray, and I will be your child’s second grade teacher. This is my first year teaching at Leverett Elementary and my tenth year teaching elementary school. I taught fourth grade for five years, fifth grade for three years, and both fourth and fifth for one year. Second grade is a new adventure for me, and I am very excited to embark on the journey!
I grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina, but I’ve lived in Massachusetts since 1999. I earned my Bachelors of Arts in History from UMass-Amherst in 2009 and my Masters of Elementary Education in 2010.
I live in Northampton with my partner, our two teenagers, and our adorable cat. When I’m not teaching, I enjoy reading, playing board games, cooking vegan food, and taking walks with my family. I also love traveling! I just returned from a camping trip in New Mexico. It was amazing to spend a week in the desert with my kids.
