Lunch Volunteers Needed!

We are looking for volunteers to join the Mater Dei lunch program so that we can provide a fun, yet safe, environment for all of our students. Any amount of time that you can give would be greatly appreciated! All volunteers must have their state mandated clearances on file in the school office to participate in the lunch program. Please follow the link below for the necessary requirements.
Clearances and Volunteer Information
As a volunteer for the lunch program, you will be 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 lunchprogram@materdeicatholic.com.

ABOUT ME

Hello and welcome to 3A! My name is Mrs. Vaccarelli, and I am a third grade teacher 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. In 2020 I moved up to grade three, and I have loved this big change from PreK to third grade! I am excited to see what this 2024-2025 school year has in store for us. We are going to have a great year!

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.
