News & Events

The holiday season is here and it is part of our Rock Point traditions to think of those who may not enjoy the plentiful bounty that we are so lucky to have. This year, we've come up with a new way to lend a helping hand: a fun run at the school where runners are are encouraged to bring a can of food for the food shelf. That's where we got the name – Rock Point School Runs Because We CAN :-) It looks to be a good time for all, and for a good cause. What's more, we're hoping to host these runs on a monthly basis to provide a continuous stream of donations to the food shelf. Watch this space for the announcement of next month's run. This Saturday's run will be a chance to honor the Solstice to boot! Let's all meet at 9:00 a.m. at the school for a 3, 5, or 10 mile run. See you there!

Each year we have a special evening before students go home for Thanksgiving vacation where the whole school community comes together to share songs, poems, and thoughts of all the things for which we are grateful. It's a wonderful time to be together and reflect on the values and goals that bind this community together and make us proud to be a part of Rock Point School ... and it's followed by some delicious food!

Congratulations to all of our fabulous runners!

Building a catapult was an exciting time for all of us! It was great to learn about forces and materials with a hands-on application. We didn't achieve the launch velocity we were hoping for ... but even that was a good lesson about the real trial-and-error nature of applied science.

The Ooky Spooky Race is a fun run organized and presented by Rock Point School to raise money for the Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS). The racecourse runs through Rock Point, North Beach, and the Burlington bike path. Racers are encouraged to run in Halloween costumes and prizes are awarded for the best costume.
