ABOUT ME
Welcome to the Primary Learning Resource Room! Hi, I am Mrs. Schlegel and this is my 9th year teaching at Mater Dei Catholic School. I previously taught Third Grade at Mater Dei, and I am beyond excited to be the Learning Resource Room Teacher. In addition to teaching Third Grade, I have taught kindergarten, 1st grade and worked as a Reading & Math Intervention Teacher. I have a Masters Degree in Special Education and K-6 Instructional Certificate from Gwynedd Mercy University.
My husband and I have two daughters ages 22 and 18. In my free time I love to read and play sports with my family. During the summer, I can be found lounging on the beach with a good book.

"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.
