ROCKLAND COUNTY, New York – For the past 35 years, Down to Earth Living in Pomona, New York has been providing scholarships to North Rockland High School graduates. This year’s recipients of the $500 awards are Giuliana Leone, Sarina Neset and Jaden Quezada.
Jaden Quezada
An honors student, Jaden intends to study finance at the University of Florida this fall. He is a three-sport athlete, having played Varsity Volleyball, Basketball, and Baseball. He was also active in VAASA, ASPIRA, Key Club, and Math League, and volunteered with Rockland Cleanup, food drives, and youth basketball clinics.
Sarina Neset
Sarina will attend SUNY Fredonia this fall to study Musical Theatre. At North Rockland, she served as a cast representative for the Drama Society and was active in the Italian Club, Chamber Choir, and Writers Club. Sarina has performed in community theatre for 14 years and volunteers with Smiles for Miles. She was selected as one of 600 students from 10 northeastern states to perform Alto I in the NAfME All-Eastern Treble Choir during the 2024 Eastern Division Conference in Hartford, Connecticut.
Giuliana Leone
Giuliana, Salutatorian of North Rockland’s Class of 2025, will attend Clemson University to major in Mechanical Engineering and minor in Sports Communications. She served as Class Vice President, President of the Women in Engineering Club, and Secretary of the Tech Honor Society. A member of Varsity Athletes Against Substance Abuse and the field hockey team, Giuliana also volunteered at EMT practicals, STEM nights, and youth clinics.
“Down to Earth is delighted to provide three deserving students with an award that will help them continue on their path toward their futures. Helping young people in our community realize their dreams is an important part of the Down to Earth mission,” stated Risa Hoag, spokesperson for the company.
Down to Earth Living staff use five criteria to determine the winners each year. First and foremost is academic performance which is based upon GPA and other available test scores, followed by participation in extracurricular activities, applications and club memberships, and community service. A topical essay is also required to demonstrate the student’s ability to communicate, and the student must also show the specific goal-directed activities taken toward achieving his or her future career. Financial need is also taken into consideration.

NANUET, NY — Construction is well underway for the highly anticipated Chick-fil-A restaurant coming to Nanuet, bringing excitement to fast food fans and local residents alike. Located at 70 E Route 59 Nanuet, NY, the new Chick-fil-A is poised to become a major draw in the heart of Nanuet and Clarkstown.
The project broke ground earlier this year and has made significant progress in recent weeks. Heavy machinery, framing, and foundation work have transformed the previously vacant lot into an active construction zone. Crews are now working on erecting the main structure of the building, with signage up and the drive-thru installations work in progress.
This location will be the first stand-alone Chick-fil-A in Rockland County, residents who previously had to travel to locations at the Sloatsburg rest stop or in New Jersey.
Chick-fil-A is known for its signature chicken sandwiches, waffle fries, and customer service — and the Nanuet location is expected to feature a double drive-thru lane to help manage high traffic volumes, especially during lunch and dinner hours.
While an official opening date has not yet been announced, sources close to the project estimate a grand opening in early fall of 2025.
Stay tuned to the Rockland Report for more updates.
