Honoree: Vonte Murray (1970-2021) was a founding staff member at Cornerstone Academy for Social Action Middle School from 2011 until his death. At Cornerstone Academy, he served in many different capacities including, Community Associate, School Aide, Dean of Students, STARS Programmer, and Transportation Liaison. He was also Assistant Director of NY Edge After-School Program at Cornerstone Academy for Social Action Elementary School. He often supported its Saturday Programs and student electives. What began as a Saturday morning Yugio game club for several students, including alumni, turned into a mentorship and safe haven where he was able to guide and support several of our young people. Whether he was in the cafeteria, the auditorium or out in the schoolyard, he was a role model for the CASA community. He wore several hats. However, it is not his many job titles that made him special. It was his kindness and generosity towards others. He was instrumental in the development, structure, and culture of the Cornerstone Academy for Social Action Community. (Riley)
