Jacob Flanigan (class of 2005) returned to Rock Point School last week to talk to students about his volunteer project with WindowDressers. Jacob is a senior engineer at Norwich Solar Technologies and has been interested in helping Vermonters conserve energy and reduce emissions for his entire career. WindowDressers does just that!

Sam Holland works to make the imagined real. As a former engineering student of our math tutor, Michael Coleman, Sam took his curiosity about how things were made and became a mechanical engineer. He has worked at places like MakerBot and Vimeo, and now, he owns his own business called informal.cc, where he helps companies of all sizes create hardware. We are thrilled that he decided to visit Rock Point School and work on 3-D design and printing projects with our students.

We are thrilled to be able to host our annual Ooky Spooky 5k Race to Benefit COTS for the 17th year! The Ooky Spooky 5k is a costumed race through the Rock Point property, bike path, and North Beach. All proceeds from the event benefit COTS (Committee on Temporary Shelter) and help people experiencing homelessness in our community. We are excited to support COTS in its essential mission!

We were so excited to welcome students and families on campus for Opening Day on Sunday, September 12th! For many parents, it was their first time in the school building due to COVID restrictions from last year. Their excitement and enthusiasm was palpable!

Last year, we worked hard to keep our community safe, and we were able to get everyone vaccinated in the spring! While we hoped that vaccinations would allow us to return to a more “normal” fall, given the high COVID rates around the country, “normal” is shifting. Here is what we are doing at RPS this fall to help keep everyone safe:

We are excited to introduce our new staff members! They are starting their training next week, and we are looking forward to sharing all things RPS with them in the next few weeks through our staff meetings.

Wiffle Fest began twenty-three years ago with C.J. Spirito's dream to get people together in the summer with one of his favorite activities. Over the years it has grown into a true Wiffle Festival, bringing out the sweet spirit of community so unique to Rock Point events while raising money to support the mission of the school. As former Headmaster John Rouleau noted about the event, Wiffle Fest has a little bit of the magic of the Legend of Brigadoon!
