Hello and
welcome to St. Clare's HASA!
I strongly believe in the blessings that volunteering brings into
our lives, and this is why I welcome the opportunity of serving on
the Board.
I truly love St. Clare School. This institution has been a wonderful place for my two boys, Lehi and David, providing them with strong academics and, most importantly, strong values. Every morning when I leave the school after dropping my children, I drive away with a calm feeling knowing that my children are safe at St. Clare's.
I am a full-time working mother. I am the Director at the Center for Academic Development in Bloomfield College. I came to Bloomfield College in September of 1994 after teaching in Garfield, NJ, for a year.
I received a BS and MS in Electrical Engineering from the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). My interests are science, applied math, writing, website design, and playing with my two sons and taking them to the NETS games.
You may contact me at 201-741-3738 or e-mail me at: HASA@saintclareschool.com
I look forward to meeting you at the fundraising events and HASA meetings.

The Love We Put Into Giving!
Dear Parents, Teachers, and Friends,
The Saint Clare Home and School Association (HASA) would like to welcome all of you back for an exciting new school year.
Saint Clare’s HASA is a very active organization that hosts many school events designed to create a community of friendship and support, while raising money to keep tuition affordable to all. Our main goal is to support the spiritual and academic excellence in the education of our students by promoting the parents’ involvement in their children’s education.
We are happy to introduce two new Board members: Rosemary Bedoya, Treasurer, and Tina O’Hara, Vice-President. Most importantly, we have many new parents who just joined the Saint Clare family. Welcome all!
We’d like to thank all the school and parish families and friends who donate their time, energy, and efforts volunteering during the HASA events and who contribute financially to their success. Year after year, we rely on your generosity and efforts. Thanks to you not only do we run very profitable fundraisers, but we also provide several in-school activities –class parties, Fun Day, etc.—that make our children’s school life special.
We hear some of you “complain” that you wished to be able to contribute more but your lack of time or current financial situation don’t allow it. We understand. Remember that, as Mother Theresa said, “It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving.” Even if you can only afford to donate a tray of cupcakes, it is the love that you express by giving it that counts.
This year’s HASA theme will pay homage to Mother Theresa: The Love We Put Into Giving. Any donation, any volunteer work, anything that you do for the school should come from your heart. Remember: When we ask for donations, we are not the recipients –our children are. Express your love and donate!
Have a wonderful year!
Saint Clare Home and School Association 2011-2012
