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.

Message from the Board
A New Everything – Commit to Two!
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. “New!” is the operative word. We have a new Board and a new principal, Ms. Bonnie McGann. We also have a new website. Most importantly, we have many new parents who just joined the Saint Clare family. Welcome all!
The goal of the Saint Clare HASA is to support the spiritual and academic excellence in the education of our students by promoting the parents’ involvement in their children’s education.
The Saint Clare 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. The Board, led by the school's pastors and principal, consists of a president, a vice-president, two Ways and Means officers, two treasurers, the HASA liaison, and a secretary. The committees are headed by chairpersons. We rely on fundraisers and donations for our operating expenses.
Saint Clare School would like to thank the local businesses who have contributed generously to the HASA during the 2006-07 school year and we encourage you all to patronize them. Let them know how thankful you are for their support!
We’d also 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. Many families always help us throughout the year, and we are very thankful for that. Our goal this year is to get new and returning families who have not been actively involved with the HASA to experience the joy of volunteering.
We would like to invite you to participate in our “Commit to Two” campaign: choose two fundraising events this year, and kindly donate your many talents to assist us in making those two events very successful!
Have a wonderful year!
Saint Clare Home and School Association 2007-08
Dear Parents,
Welcome to the 2007-2008 school year. We look forward to working with you and your children. As we work together in the Spirit of Jesus, please reflect on the following:
Our “job” is what we do, but our “vocation” is who we are. We are called to serve others, to help those who need us in a variety of situations. We aren’t all called to the same work, or the same amount of work. We give what we have, according to our abilities, in fidelity to the call each of us received. Our vocation to serve others is rooted in our baptism. How we live our call is a matter of individual gifts and “talents.” Event if our work is unpaid or unappreciated, it is valuable in God’s eyes. Work done “with loving hands” is worthwhile and good, even it is invisible to those who decide what is economically valuable.
God Bless you and your family,
Reverend Father Timothy Dowling, Pastor
