Meet the Teacher
Welcome to First Grade
Hello!
My name is Catherine Robbins.
I live in Lansdale with my husband, Rich. We are the proud parents of three adult children. We have also been blessed with four adorable grandchildren . We belong to Corpus Christi Church. I sing in the parish choir and I am also a Eucharistic Minister.
I graduated from Millersville University with my B.S. in Elementary Education/Early Childhood Education. This is my 28th year teaching in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. This is my 31st year teaching. After I graduated from college, I taught at Saint Philip Neri Catholic School in Lafayette Hill. I taught fifth grade for 4 years. I then got married and stayed home for 10 years with my children.
When I returned to teaching, I taught part-time in a pre-school program at Central Schwenkfelder Church for for 4 years. I then moved on to second grade at Saint Maria Goretti Catholic School in Hatfield. I taught there for for 12 years. When St. Maria Goretti School closed in 2012, I came to Saint Mary Catholic School. This is my 12th year teaching at Saint Mary Catholic School. I have taught Kindergarten, first grade and second grade. I have my Religion Certificate from the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. I am the Religion coordinator at Saint Mary Catholic School. I have earned my certification for the Wilson Level I Reading Program.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my grandchildren. I love to cheer on the Phillies. I also really enjoy going to the beach with my family.
My hope for this year is that your child will feel comfortable, safe, and most importantly special in our first grade classroom at Saint Mary School.
I am looking forward to an enjoyable year of learning and fun in 2023-2024.
If at any time throughout the year, you would have any comments, questions, or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me by either my e-mail (crobbins@smsk-8.org) or the school office (610) 287-7757.
Blessings to you and to your families.
