ABOUT ME

Hello! My name is Mrs. Emily Keyser. I have been blessed with the gift of Catholic education, as I am a product of the Philadelphia Archdiocesan Catholic School System. I graduated from St. Stanislaus School and then continued my Catholic education at Lansdale Catholic High School. I obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education from Gwynedd-Mercy College. I truly value the gift of Catholic education and will be forever grateful to my parents for the sacrifices they made in order to send my sisters, brother, and me to Catholic school. I am excited to have the opportunity to teach at Mater Dei Catholic! I have been up and down the grade level ladder. I taught kindergarten for half a year, second grade for nine years, and fourth grade for seven years. I taught sixth grade Social Studies and ELA, along with eighth grade Religion for one year. This year will be my fourteenth year in first grade. Each grade level has been a rewarding experience, offering new and exciting challenges. I strive to provide a faith-filled atmosphere that allows opportunities for my students to think critically, solve problems, and to communicate and collaborate effectively. I am proud to be teaching the children of the 21st Century with the educational technology provided to help make learning fun and engaging.

Mater Dei Catholic School

"Love in Action is Service"

Saint Teresa of Calcutta, known as “Mother Teresa,” was an Albanian-born Indian Roman Catholic missionary and nun who devoted her life to helping those most in need. She founded the Missionaries of Charity in India in 1950, and for over 45 years, she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying. Mother Teresa served those who were most vulnerable and made many sacrifices to help others. She devoted her life to serving those in need without judgment.

Saint Teresa of Calcutta once said, “Love in Action is Service.” The Mater Dei Catholic School community will embrace Mother Teresa’s philosophy throughout the 2024 -2025 school year. We will learn more about Mother Teresa’s service to God’s people and strive to follow her example by serving others both within and outside of our school community. By focusing on creating a sense of belonging for all members of the Mater Dei community, we will mirror our hallmarks of Faith, Excellence, Service, and Community.
