WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP – Washington Township’s three middle schools – Bunker Hill, Chestnut Ridge and Orchard Valley – presented their annual Dan Rozmes Spirit Awards at the Washington Township High School boys basketball game against Winslow Township on Tuesday, February 21, 2017.
The awards are named after Rozmes as a way to remember and celebrate his legacy. During a career that spanned more than 30 years, Rozmes served the Washington Township School District as a teacher, guidance counselor, principal and friend before passing away on July 16, 2010, after a long battle with leukemia.
The Dan Rozmes Spirit Award winners include: Adam McAteer and Kelly Wei (BHMS); Samantha Baldacci and Luca Franco (CRMS); and Steven Roth and Danielle Stuart (OVMS). Students were chosen by their teachers, guidance counselors and administration because they possess the characteristics that Mr. Rozmes promoted – his selflessness, big heart, positivity and upbeat personality.
