Scotch Plains Mom Is 'Standing Up For Our Children'

SCOTCH PLAINS, NJ — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we’re working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Amanda Hudes and Natalie Duncan who are both nominating Danielle Prussin Wildstein of Scotch Plains.

Name: Danielle Prussin Wildstein

Home town: Scotch Plains

Hero's job: Parent

Reason for recognition: Danielle organized a group of parents and is proactively communicating with the Board Of Education defending our rights and demanding transparency and responsibility.

Danielle has been spending countless hours and against tons of scrutiny from other parents to do what she believes is right and to stand up for our children. We had the right to choose whether we wanted hybrid or fully remote / virtual learning.

One thing to know: Very devoted, honest and kindhearted.

She is dedicated to doing what's right and won't allow anyone's hate to stop her. She is so strong and determined.

Thank you for all you do, Danielle!
