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.
