Alex Seneca Granted Local Award from CASA for Children of Monmouth County

Congratulations to Alexandra Seneca ’13 of Colts Neck, who will receive a Junior Humanitarian award at the 7th Annual Voices for Children Gala on Saturday, April 21. Hosted by the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) group for Children of Monmouth County, the yearly Voices for Children Gala raises funds needed to train those volunteers who provide advocacy for the many Monmouth County children in out-of-home placement.

Aside from raising awareness, Saturday’s Gala will not only honor the work and dedication of retired Supreme Court Judge Terence P. Flynn, but also of Ranney’s own Junior Humanitarian award winner Alexandra Seneca. Each year, the Junior Humanitarian award recognizes those volunteers who have dedicated endless amounts of time and energy towards advocating for the rights of children in foster care homes throughout Monmouth County.

Alexandra’s Junior Humanitarian award notes her positive impact on the organization and community as she spent many weeks this school year volunteering for a variety of activities ranging from office duties to fund raising through clothing drives. Alexandra has also volunteered at the organization’s “Step Up for a Child 5k Run/Walk.”

“Thank you for providing Alexandra with a well-rounded education that includes working within her community,” said CASA’s Marketing and Communications Coordinator Michele Rodriguez.

When not participating in the teen choir at St. Mary’s Church in Colts Neck, or volunteering for other local non-profits such as Cinderella’s Closet and the Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network (FAAN), Alexandra can also be found demonstrating her leadership capabilities at Ranney. Alexandra is an active member on her class council, serves as secretary of the Junior Humane Society, and is an athlete on the school’s varsity crew and swim teams.

This ambassador of Ranney values will receive her Junior Humanitarian award at the Voices for Children Gala beginning seven o’clock at the Navesink Country Club on the evening of April 21, 2012. For ticket information, please click here.

Congratulations Alexandra!
