Our sincerest thanks to The South Orangetown Middle School in Blauvelt NY and their teacher, Arlene Sorensen, who raised $950 for us - for HealingNewtown - for our community - through their "Rock The Point" and Denim Day events! "SOCSD Rocks the Point for Newtown On Wednesday May 1, 2013 students from The South Orangetown School District performed at The Turning Point in Piermont, New York for “Rock the Point.” Rock the Point is a show created and directed by teacher Ms. Arlene Sorensen whose mission it has been as an educator to link the classroom to the community. Each year, proceeds from the show have been given to assorted charities. This year “Rock the Point” raised $500 to benefit Healing Newtown through the Arts. This organization was created to help Newtown and the Sandy Hook Community work through their many stages of healing. At the Healing Newtown Arts Space creative art workshops and performances are held. The space is designed to be a safe meeting place for children and families to gather, to display artworks from around the world, and as an archive for letters which were sent to Newtown from all over the world. Students and staff from the South Orangetown School district who performed at “Rock the Point” had the privilege of donating their artistic talents to help the community of Newtown heal."
