Gary?s Gutter Services, Inc. proudly salutes Sophia Kolak and Melissa DeNizard for their efforts to ensure more progressive and inclusive educational settings in Rockland County, which resulted in a state grant of $3 million to their district.
Sophia Kolak and Melissa DeNizard
Sophia Kolak and Melissa DeNizard are founding members of Strong East Ramapo Students, an advocacy group of students from the East Ramapo School District who are dedicated to ensuring that their educational settings help shape the world by encouraging students to have a passion for learning, a desire for personal growth and a commitment to the community.
In their efforts to make their dreams a reality, the students attended school board and government legislative meetings, held protests and educated themselves about opportunities to create new and viable options for progressive change. Their efforts were rewarded by a state grant of $3 million to their district. This allowed the reinstatement of art programs, a full day kindergarten and other crucial programs. Ms. Kolak, Ms. Denizard and their fellow volunteers worked tirelessly to ensure that their educational environment reflects their needs and the needs of their community, and that the voices of the current student body is heard by the district that represents them.
Ms. Denizard understands the incredible reach that committed volunteer efforts can make. ?Our student led movement was much bigger than us. We built something that restored our community?s faith in education.? Ms. Kolak, who currently plans to attend St. John?s College in Annapolis next year, stated ?If my efforts lead to one more kid discovering that school is not as bad as they thought, then I think I can graduate from Ramapo in June knowing that I?ve made some sort of an impact.?
?Heroes of the Month? is a program sponsored by Gary?s Gutter Service, Inc., a gutter, roofing and chimney company serving the Rockland County area for over 30 years.
