Theresa Kelly

First Grade

I was raised in Rockland County, NY and am a product of Catholic Schools. I went to St. Anthony’s school in Nanuet, NY and Albertus Magnus High School in Bardonia, NY. I graduated from Marist College with a degree in Psychology. I earned a scholarship while running Division 1 cross country and track for the college. 

I moved to Albany 15 years ago and both of my children went to Mater Christi beginning in the three year old program.  I was the PTO president for ten years and chair of our Family Fun Day event. I have been working at MCS for 12 years. I began as a teaching assistant which led me to earn my MSED degree (B-6) from The College of St. Rose. I have been teaching at Mater Christi for 5 years.  

I am a proud parent of MCS alumni. I attribute my children’s success to the high standard of education they received in their formative years here at Mater Christi.

I love the family community at our school and these children keep me smiling. I genuinely enjoy being the first grade teacher and having the opportunity to guide my students through Jesus’ teachings.
