Rock Point School's beloved, long-time English teacher (now retired), Marylen Grigas, has a new poem, "About Muscle" forthcoming in The New Yorker. Paul Muldoon, the poetry editor of The New Yorker, wrote to her saying that he was "very taken by this poem." In addition to featuring the poem in an upcoming issue, the magazine is also making a sound recording of Marylen reading the poem.

Former staff Becky Kinkead has a show of her paintings on display through the month at the Edgewater Gallery in Middlebury, VT. To get information about gallery hours or to see Becky's paintings, click here. Becky worked as a dorm staff at Rock Point School, at which time, she was already an accomplished ceramicist. She then went back to school to pursue an education in painting. She has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions, won awards and fellowships, and her paintings are in the collections of Oprah Winfrey, Gayle King, and several major hotels and business.
Congratulations to Marylen and Becky!
