Jennifer Lee school5hasa@gmail.com
Trustee
Danielle DeGennaro
My name is Danielle and I have been a HASA board member since my first son entered Kindergarten. I have 2 boys in Clifton schools, Owen in 6th grade at WWMS and Brody in 4th grade at School 5. I have lived in Clifton since 2006, I am a nurse and love spending my free time with my husband and two boys.
Trustee
Kelly Fitzgibbon
My name is Kelly Fitzgibbon. I have a 4th grader and a 1st grader at School 5. I truly believe in the importance of a home and school connection. I look forward to being an active member in HASA and helping to make a great experience for families at School 5.
Treasurer
Christine Colligan treasurerhasa5@gmail.com
My name is Christine Colligan and I am a life long resident of Clifton. I have two sons who attend Clifton schools, William (11) (WWMS) and Brayden (8) (School 5). School 5 holds a special place in my heart because it’s not only the school my sons attend(ed) but the school that I and many of my family members attended including my father. Being involved with the Home and School Association is important to me because it is not only fun that I get to spend time with my own children but it benefits every child in the school community.
Trustee
Liz Potucek
My name is Liz Potucek, I have lived in Clifton since 2010, and I am a Literacy Coach in a nearby school district. I joined HASA so that I could help plan and be part of all of the exciting school events at School 5. My oldest son Sean is 8, in 3rd grade, and my younger son Brian is 4. I am looking forward to all of the amazing events this school year!
Secretary
Monique Yarwood
My name is Monique Yarwood and I've been a Clifton resident since 1996. My daughter, Scarlett, is a 4th grader at School 5. I first became involved by volunteering at various HASA events when my daughter started kindergarten and then I joined the HASA board. I've enjoyed being able to help bring various events to our school to help enrich the loves of the students.
Trustee
Marisa Forte
My name is Marisa Forte and I’m the proud mom of Marley (8) and Domenic (4). Marley is currently a third grader and Domenic will start kindergarten in 2024. My husband and I both grew up in Clifton and we love being a part of the School 5 All Star Family. I really enjoy volunteering at the schools events and I’m so happy to be a member of the HASA board.
