WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP – Washington Township Middle School teachers, guidance counselors and administrators recently teamed to pay homage to their former colleague Danny Rozmes by selecting student award-winners who embody all that Rozmes represented.
“Mr. Roz”, a teacher, guidance counselor, assistant principal and principal in the District for more than 30 years who passed away on July 16, 2010, was known for his selflessness, big heart, and positive, upbeat personality. Orchard Valley, Bunker Hill and Chestnut Ridge Middle Schools came together to establish the Danny Rozmes Spirit Awards as a way to memorialize the uniquely positive Rozmes’ spirit that endures through students who have a similarly positive outlook and impact.
The recipients, one male and one female eighth-grade student from each school, were selected as caring individuals who display a positive, upbeat spirit.
