MARTHA ROSA NOVA 8/19/1996 - 1/4/2010 Martha, our beautiful 8th Grader passed away last night at Yale New Haven Hospital after struggling with a long illness. Her indomitable spirit touched so many. She was a true Scholar and with quiet leadership influenced her peers with a work ethic of perseverance, hard work, and big dreams. In her few years at Cloonan, Martha won a place in many hearts with her smile, her kindness, compassion, and warmth. She was a wonderful big sister to our 6th Grader, Wendy. Martha will be dearly missed by our family at Cloonan. Our deepest sympathies go out to her parents, sister Wendy and family. Rest in Peace Martha CPK FUNDRAISER Please join us at California Pizza Kitchen for a flavorsome fundraising event. Click here for more information.
