ABOUT ME
Hello and welcome to 3A! My name is Mrs. Vaccarelli, and I teach third grade here at Mater Dei. I graduated from West Chester University with a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education. In the Fall of 2010, I began teaching in one of our preschool classrooms. After 10 years in preschool, I moved up to grade three. I have loved this big change from three and four-year-old little ones to third graders! I am excited to see what this school year has in store for us. We are going to have 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.
