Spotlight on Students<br />
By Josh F., senior<br />
I’m Josh and this is my second year at <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Point</strong>. I’m very passionate<br />
about both weather and skiing, and am eagerly awaiting the upcoming<br />
ski season. This year I’m working with Rosie and Kathy on the Vermont<br />
Streams Project, studying whether climate change may be affecting two<br />
local streams. I’m looking forward to studying meteorology in college<br />
next year and someday forecasting the weather on The Weather<br />
Channel. If you’re visiting the school, look for my daily weather forecast<br />
outside of Lonnie’s office!<br />
James arrived at <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Point</strong> in late September as a member of the junior<br />
class. He is extremely passionate about many, many aspects of computer<br />
programming, as well as an avid piano player. He also enjoys cooking and<br />
skiing. James seems to enjoy <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Point</strong> so far, and has taken the initiative<br />
to “question and amend the rules for the greater good,” as well as being an<br />
active participant in the dorm. James is looking forward to spending more<br />
time programming and playing soccer for sports class more often.<br />
Carl is a sophomore this year at <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Point</strong>, and arrived in July for the 1 st<br />
RPS Summer Program. Carl really enjoys sports class and staying active<br />
throughout the week. He also enjoys writing and making people laugh as<br />
the school comedian. When asked about how he likes <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Point</strong>, he said<br />
“I like it a lot here, but I have my days getting used to it.” Carl is looking<br />
forward to many of the activities coming up this year and hopes to play<br />
sports at neighboring Burlington High <strong>School</strong> at some point this year.<br />
Dani is a freshman at <strong>Rock</strong> <strong>Point</strong> this year and first arrived during the<br />
Summer Program. She is interested in music as well as hanging out with<br />
friends and doing homework. So far Dani is thoroughly enjoying <strong>Rock</strong><br />
<strong>Point</strong> and what it has to offer. “I love it; it’s like moving into a new life,”<br />
she said when I asked her how she was liking RPS. Looking ahead to the<br />
rest of the year, Dani is looking forward to getting to know her peers and<br />
teachers even better.<br />
