Springmont Names Volunteers of the Year

Staff Report

The Springmont Volunteer of the Year Award is presented annually to volunteers whose dedication to improving children’s lives through service to the school is truly outstanding and inspiring.

By offering this recognition, Springmont seeks to engage volunteers and advocates in celebrating the spirit and practice of volunteerism and honoring the accomplishments of those who encourage and nurture Springmont students.

This year, this prestigious award honors Saul Levy and Rosie and Rudy Rojas.

“These three individuals have made an indelible mark on Springmont,” said Jerri King, Springmont head of school. “Saul, Rosie and Rudy are tireless in their efforts to encourage others in making this community and the lives of our students better and for that we honor them as Volunteers of the Year.”

Saul Levy, executive director of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management’s Atlanta Group, is a member of Springmont’s Board of Trustees, committee chair and parent liaison and was key in imparting strategic planning, development, financial health and parental relations at Springmont. Levy led the development committee of the board in the school’s 50th anniversary year, helping the board fulfill its goal to improve the school’s play areas.

Rosie and Rudy Rojas, principals of Rojas Realty, served as parent chairs of Springmont’s 50th Anniversary Annual Fund. In this capacity, they spearheaded the most successful annual fund campaign the school has ever seen, as a result of the volunteer efforts of all three honorees. The new artificial turf field was installed, which provides students an opportunity to play on a durable, safe and resilient surface during recess, physical education and intramurals.
