Glenda Davis, Drusilla Kinzonzi, Anjoo Vohra and Charlene Weaver.
“Each of these women has spent decades giving back to others, particularly our children,” Rockland County Legislature Vice Chairman Dr. Aney Paul said. “Their efforts and lifelong contributions show a deep commitment, tenacity, and love of service that is deserving of our recognition and gratitude. I am honored to celebrate them as this year’s Women’s History Month honorees.”
Legislator Paul, and County Legislators Beth Davidson and Dana G. Stilley led a ceremony that included the presentation of the Distinguished Service Award to each honoree – the Legislature’s highest award. Legislator Paul presented the DSA to Glenda Davis and Anjoo Vohra; Legislator Davidson to Charlene Weaver and Legislator Stilley to Drusilla Kinzonzi.
Women’s History Month commemorates and encourages the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history – then and now. The 2025 Women’s History Month theme, “Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations,” spotlights the contributions women have made to the American educational system, the free marketplace of ideas, and the very fabric of our democracy.
“In a year in which ‘Moving Forward Together’ is the Women’s History Month theme, I cannot think of a better honoree than Charlene Weaver,” Legislator Davidson said. “As a teacher at Nyack Public Schools for more than five decades, Charlene helped countless students move forward into their bright futures. I am delighted this humble and outstanding woman allowed us to recognize her many accomplishments today.”
Legislator Stilley said that Rockland is fortunate that these women have shared their time and talents with our community. “I have had the opportunity to witness firsthand their ability to touch lives and inspire all generations to seek knowledge, unite, and serve,” Legislator Stilley said. “Drusilla Kinzonzi’s story, and those of all of our honorees, serve as blueprints that honor our past and lay the groundwork for our path forward.”

As children and teens navigate the challenges of growing up, mental health can often be overlooked. Today, we emphasize the importance of mental health awareness for young people—and the vital role families, schools, and communities play in offering support.

No child should feel alone in their struggles. By encouraging open conversations and providing access to resources, we can help foster resilience and well-being for the next generation.

Clarkstown High School Seniors Celebrate College Decisions on 2025 Decision Day

Cheers, hugs, and proud smiles filled the campuses of Clarkstown High School North and South as the district celebrated Decision Day , a nationwide event recognizing high school seniors’ post-graduation plans. The annual tradition, typically held on May 1, honors students as they announce the next chapter of their academic and professional journeys.

Known as “Decision Day,” the celebration gives seniors the opportunity to share where they’re headed after graduation—whether it be college, university, trade school, military service, or the workforce. This year, Clarkstown’s Class of 2025 displayed their next steps with pride, donning gear from institutions across the country and posing for photos with peers and teachers who supported them along the way.

While students prepare to become Huskies, Explorers, Ravens, and so much more, Clarkstown Central School District made sure to remind them of where their journey began. “No matter where our learners’ college and university selections may take them, we are so proud to have been an important first stop on their academic journeys,” the district shared in a message to families and the community. “Before you become Huskies, Explorers, and Ravens (just to name a few), you were—and will always be—Rams and Vikings.”

The event not only celebrated the achievements of the seniors but also served as inspiration for underclassmen, showing them what’s possible through hard work, determination, and community support.

As graduation approaches, Clarkstown continues to recognize the resilience, talent, and ambition of the Class of 2025. Congratulations to all the Rams and Vikings—past, present, and future—on this exciting milestone.
