91¶¶Òõ

Giving Tuesday is November 28th this year! We invite you to join this global day of giving by making a gift to 91¶¶Òõ. This year, our #GivingTuesday campaign will be led by the indomitable Kelly Hedley ‘03.

Kelly first came to know Rock Point in 1999 when she started her freshman year at 91¶¶Òõ. Throughout her adulthood, she has stayed connected with the school, staff, and fellow alumni. Heather, her best friend from her years at Rock Point, is still her best friend, and they talk on the phone daily. Kelly's bond to 91¶¶Òõ came full circle when she advocated with her local school district for her son Chace to become a student here. He is currently a third-year student at 91¶¶Òõ. 

Kelly and her three sons live 45 minutes south of 91¶¶Òõ in Bristol, Vermont, where she and her family are incredibly involved in their community. After Kelly's journey led to Chace attending Rock Point, she began helping others advocate for their children to access more supportive educational settings. She has now helped nearly 100 families and their children navigate educational advocacy and special education all over the state, working closely with local organizations as well as speaking publicly on the topic. 

Kelly says Chace's story is a testament to what finding and accessing the best learning environment can do for a child. In the next week, she looks forward to telling you more about how being an 91¶¶Òõ student herself gave her the tools and knowledge to help others find schools where their children can thrive. 

Last year, our amazing community raised over $50,000 for our Giving Tuesday campaign! With your help, we are hoping to beat that record this year and make 91¶¶Òõ accessible for more students like Kelly and Chace.
