Lunch Volunteers Needed!
We are looking for volunteers to join the Mater Dei lunch program. Any amount of time that you can give would be greatly appreciated! In order to participate in the lunch program, all volunteers must have their state mandated clearances on file in the school office. Please see the link below for the necessary requirements.
Clearances and Volunteer Information
Volunteering at lunch consists of being in charge of one class while the students eat in their classroom or the cafeteria and go outside for recess. Your time commitment is about one hour per lunch period. If you prefer to help with a particular grade or your availability is limited to certain days of the week or month, we can work with that! To find out more or to volunteer, please email Amy Mongelluzzo at lunchprogram@materdeicatholic.com.
Thank you for considering this request to serve our school!

ABOUT ME
Welcome to 3B! I am very excited to be teaching 3rd grade at Mater Dei! I graduated from Immaculata University with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and Special Education. I love to spend time with my family, go to the beach, read, and rollerskate. This is my fifth year teaching at Mater Dei, and I am looking forward to a great year!
Mater Dei Catholic School
"Peace is Built in the Heart"
Pope Leo XIV’s words remind us of a powerful truth: peace doesn’t start in the world around us—it begins within each of us. It is shaped by love, nourished by prayer, and strengthened by our desire to live as Jesus taught.
At Mater Dei Catholic School, we embrace this call to be peacemakers. Pope Leo’s message speaks to everyone, but especially to our children, who are growing into the people God created them to be. When peace lives in our hearts, it flows into our words, our choices, and our relationships.
When every heart becomes a home for peace, then our school, our homes, and our entire community can become places of kindness, forgiveness, justice, and joy. Pope Leo is calling us to be different—to build peace through the way we live, speak, and treat one another each day.
This year, let us journey together as builders of peace—rooted in God’s love, guided by His truth, and strengthened by His mercy.
