The Leonia Community Chest was pleased to award its 2021 Community Service Scholarship to Leonia High School senior Reana Radu. This is the 4th year the Community Chest has presented this award to a high school graduate for activities that help our community. 

Reana's greatest service was demonstrated by her commitment to the environment. She:

• assisted in the design and helped manage the Leonia Recycling website, working with the Leonia Environmental Commission
• was active in Leonia High School’s Environmental Club and helped organize activities to educate students about recycling to encourage more recycling
• participated in a demonstration opposing the construction of a power plant near our community.

In addition to the environment, prior to the pandemic, Reana was a Volunteer at Englewood Hospital where she transported patients and medical items within the hospital. Lastly, Reana organized a tennis program for young children at Overpeck Park for her Church.
