Principal Message
Dear Students, Parents, and Staff,
I pray everyone is having a great start to the school year! It has been fabulous to get to know all of our students and to meet the parents throughout these past three weeks. St. Clare Catholic School is excited to announce our first fundraiser of the year, The Star Fund! This is our annual fund that raises money to help support the operational costs of our wonderful school.
I invite you to join us on September 8th at 9:00 a.m. for our All School Mass and the Star Fund Kick Off. HSA will be providing donuts and students are encouraged to wear their Mass uniforms. Come out and show your St. Clare pride with the parish and school community!
Thank you all for choosing St. Clare of Assisi Catholic School to partner with in educating your child in their academic and spiritual formation. I look forward to seeing what September has in store for all of our lucky Stars!
Blessings,
Mrs. Nadia Canino

Smart Families Featured Family
"We all know the damaging effects that overuse of screens can have on a developing child’s physical and mental health, which then impacts them into adulthood. I signed the pledge to help ensure that my child forgoes those pitfalls and stays present and engaging with his family and friends and everyone he meets in our ever changing world. It’s an addiction that, with God’s help, we can all control and teach our children how to use responsibly for the future." - Sarah Myers (Mom of Charlie Myers - Prek-4)
