Our Vermont Academy community is made up of an extraordinary combination of people. We are helpers, thinkers, doers, and especially givers. One of the traits that so many students and graduates mention about their Vermont Academy experience is the close personal attention they received from caring adults. For almost 150 years, we have guided the steps of graduates, helping them become their own best business managers, with self-discipline, organizational skills, and a fierce determination to reach their goals. One of the strongest messages you can send as a member of the VA community is to build a philanthropic relationship with our school as we also strive to meet our goals for the students and community of today and tomorrow.
This issue of Vermont Academy Way celebrates some of the recent philanthropic accomplishments that are advancing our educational priorities. They include a transformational gift from brothers Tom ‘59 and Steve ‘57 Richardson, who credit their time at Vermont Academy with making an incredible impact on their lives. They learned resilience and gained a lifelong love of the outdoors that they still enjoy today. Steve announced the biggest gift in Vermont Academy’s history at our Hanover, NH reception. It was an emotional and proud moment for me, for Mike Choukas, Jr. ‘46, P ‘73, GP ‘94, their headmaster, who was present, and for all of the graduates in attendance.
In this issue, we will also share information about grant awards, ranging from a USDA forest service grant that is allowing us to think holistically about how to best protect our woodland to a local foundation’s support of improvements to the Michael Choukas Ice Rink, a hub of energy during the long Vermont winters. You will meet Charles LaFond ‘82, who is creating a planned gift to honor art teacher Mary Hepburn, whom he credits with saving his life. Finally, we introduce Bowen Xiao ‘24, a remarkably entrepreneurial senior who showed maturity beyond his years by using his earnings to support Vermont Academy and its quest to help others develop the skills necessary to become entrepreneurs.
In the year ahead, these gifts and others will allow Vermont Academy to move forward on the implementation of its strategic plan and develop new programs to support our students. The thematic pillars of the plan are built on Vermont values: Ingenuity, Innovation, Community and The Land — and they
remain as relevant a framework as when the plan was initially developed a few years ago. We continue to work to incorporate these pillars into the grade-level curricula so that our students can carry these values forward with them after they graduate.
I am pleased to note that the extraordinary philanthropy in support of our school has been motivational to our students as well. While our students are required to perform 10 hours of community service annually, this year we are seeing service opportunities become a staple of the VA experience and several students have already qualified to be honored with the Presidential Volunteer Service Award. Whether it is volunteering at the Saxtons River Yule Fest or making Valentine’s Day cards with students from Kurn Hattin Homes for Children, the students are living their own version of philanthropy and demonstrating how the Latin phrase Non Ministrari sed Ministrare (Not to be ministered unto, but to minister) can significantly impact one’s life. Elizabeth Thompson ‘27 notes, “I like volunteering because it is a great way to give back to my community and make a positive impact.”
None of what I have described here would be possible without the support of generous donors like you. In this issue, we are grateful to recognize our Vermont Academy Giving Society donors who have made a leadership financial contribution to Vermont Academy in the last fiscal year (July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023). Many of them are also Long Walk Legends, whose consecutive giving forms the bedrock of our philanthropic program. Each and every donor makes an impact on our beloved school and we stand ready to continue to deliver a transformational educational experience.
We are so grateful to have you standing with us to help strengthen the new foundations we are laying with our comprehensive curriculum, enrollment strategies, and business plan. Vermont Academy is thriving, and we are grateful to have your support!
Warmly,
Dr. Jennifer L. Zaccara, Head of School
An exceptional belief in the difference that a Vermont Academy education can make in the life of a young person has prompted brothers Tom ’59 and Steve ’57 Richardson to make a remarkable gift in support of Vermont Academy. The gift was spurred by Tom’s belief that, “The small independent secondary school offers a unique environment for young people. I benefited greatly from that environment, and I want to make sure others continue to have the same opportunity.”
The announcement of a $2.1 million gift was made at a fall event in Hanover, New Hampshire. Attendees, who included former Headmaster Mike Choukas Jr. ‘46, P ‘73, GP ‘94, and former Interim Head Stan Colla, were both astounded and thrilled when Steve made the surprise announcement to the group. Steve cited the meaningful impact that Vermont Academy made on the brothers, and their interest in giving back. They recognized that as a small school, a gift of this magnitude could and would have a significant impact on Vermont Academy and its goals. As Vermont Academy is approaching its 150th anniversary in 2026, the gift also sets a leadership standard for the significant milestone.
After Vermont Academy, Tom attended Colby College and Dartmouth’s Amos Tuck School of Business, where he earned his MBA in 1965. From there, he went to First Boston Corp on Wall Street and then Smith Barney. He started his own business as an investment advisor in 1971. Tom brought his talent for investing to the leadership of Vermont Academy when he served as trustee from 1983 to 1990.
Tom followed Steve to Vermont Academy in 1955. Steve, who was awarded the Florence R. Sabin Class of 1889 Distinguished Alumni Award in 1989, attended Colby College, then the University of Michigan, where he earned his MBA in 1963. Steve worked for several years in the business world but was inspired to experiment with mind games and conundrums, before starting Stave Puzzles, which has been featured in Smithsonian
Magazine, The New Yorker, and Sports Illustrated. Steve likes to share the story of his Vermont Academy English professor Don Brodine, who recognized Steve’s abilities and personally called Colby College to recommend him for admittance. From there, he was accepted to multiple graduate programs. He adds, “Three cheers for Vermont Academy!”
Head of School Dr. Jennifer L. Zaccara and Director of Advancement Tonia C. Fleming P ’18, recently visited Tom and his wife Becky at their home in Park City, Utah, where Tom reiterated his interest in making an impact at the school. “I credit coach Warren Chivers and Headmaster Larry Leavitt for demanding that I live up to my potential. I also credit fellow skier CB Vaughan ‘59 for showing me what that means. CB was the best skier VA has ever seen but he still worked his butt off to be better.” In addition to a solid education he credited Vermont Academy with teaching him toughness and resilience, traits that have stood the test of time over his life and career.
“I thrived [at VA] and I wanted to make sure that others continue to have the same opportunity.”
— Tom Richardson ’59
The gift will be put to use this summer to address needs resulting from enrollment growth. The multi-phased project will see upgrades to the science classrooms, the restoration of the first floor of Fuller Hall back to classroom space, the restoration of Alumni Hall back to dormitory space, the consolidation of visual and video art classrooms into Alumni Hall, and the expansion of workout facilities in Williams Gymnasium.
Tom adds, “This is a first step in elevating Vermont Academy’s relevance and importance among small secondary schools.” Dr. Zaccara concludes, “Thank you to Tom and Steve for their confidence in our school. We are looking forward to the transformation and growth on our campus that their generosity will enable our students to experience.”
“Undiagnosed autism left me intelligent but exhausted from overfeeling everything. A one-year senior, I found my fellow students confusing, loud, and distracting until I wandered into the pottery studio, nestled in the basement of Proctor Hall, it was soothing and dark, a soil sanctuary.”
So started a conversation with Charles LaFond ‘82, when he reached out to Vermont Academy’s Advancement Office to share his interest in making an estate gift to Vermont Academy. He recognized that such a gift was a way to leave a legacy to the school and, in his particular case, honor his art teacher, Mary Hepburn, who made a lasting impact on his life.
He continued, “I loved the repetitive nature of the craft. All day I lived in the school world of words, noise, teenage hormones, and athletic competition. But at night and on Sundays, I could ease into the dim, silent, quiet world of clay. As potters have done for 10,000 years, each pot took the same repetitive work:
1. Slam the ball of clay on the wheel,
2. Spin the wheel,
3. Form the vessel into a pot,
4. Cut the vessel from the wheel-head, and
5. Place it on the wooden board.
6. Then repeat. Ten thousand times.
In the power of repetition, I learned patience and persistence. But mostly, I learned that I needed pottery in my life.”
Charles, the son of diplomats, had traveled the world, but hadn’t really found his “home” until attending Vermont Academy. He was introduced to the pottery studio when being invited there by a classmate in an art class. Mary Hepburn, pottery teacher at the time, recognized a need in Charles and took him under her wing — giving him the opportunity to mix glazes, recycle clay, and work the kiln.
Charles continued, “Fast-forward 43 years. I am now 60 years old. To this very day, I still spend evenings and weekends making pottery. Words and noise — then silence and clay. Repeat for more than 2,000 weeks and 100,000 pots. While I was forming clay into a vessel to be useful in kitchens, Mary was forming me, not just into a student — trained to think and study — but into a human, formed to be patient, honest, and kind.
A few months ago, I was diagnosed with autism. I was stunned. And yet, suddenly so much of my life made sense. The doctor asked me this one, strange question: “Have you, in your life, found a way to re-regulate with a repetitive task — a craft perhaps — such as rug-hooking, knitting, or pottery?”
‘Yes’ I said, with a smile. The doctor smiled back and said ‘People with Autism often die young, and by their own hand, unless they can re-regulate like that. Pottery probably enhanced and saved your life.’
“Mary Hepburn. This is Charles. I was in your pottery class for eight months in the early 80’s. Yes, you taught me pottery. But you also saved my life. Thank you. I have left Vermont Academy a bequest in your honor. You paid it forward as a teacher. I’m paying it back as a donor.”
If you are interested in leaving a legacy for Vermont Academy through a bequest, trust, insurance or retirement policy, or other estateplanning vehicle, please reach out to Director of Advancement Tonia Fleming P ’18 at 802-869-6298 or via email at tfleming@vermontacademy.org. Making a planned gift is a wonderful way to show your support and appreciation for Vermont Academy and you will be recognized as a member of The Laurence and Dorothy Leavitt Society, which was formed in 1998 to honor and recognize alumni and friends of Vermont Academy who support the future of the Academy with a planned gift commitment to the school.
Last year, Vermont Academy received two grants that have helped the school move forward with two of its strategic plan pillars: Community and The Land.
Long-time Vermont Academy supporter the Jack & Dorothy Byrne Foundation recently awarded Vermont Academy $20,000 for improvements to the Michael Choukas Ice Rink. The Hanover based foundation recognized the importance of the rink to the Vermont Academy community. In the winter, the rink brings together five Vermont Academy teams of passionate hockey players with the enthusiastic support of their classmates and family members as they engage in fast-paced and exciting games on the ice. The Byrne Foundation gift joins a significant gifts from the Torrey and Choukas families, which enabled the purchase of a new chiller. We are actively continuing to raise funds and make improvements to this iconic space.
Vermont Academy also received funding from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS). The grant came through the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), the NRCS flagship conservation program that “helps farmers, ranchers and forest landowners integrate conservation into working lands.” The school was awarded $5,000 to create a Forest Management Plan (FMP) for our 300+ acres of woodland. This plan supports long-term efforts to care for and improve forestland. Once completed, the plan will open up opportunities for VA to apply for further grants related to land management, specifically invasive species removal, and will potentially aid in biodiversity enhancement and wildlife conservation.
One of the many benefits of Vermont Academy’s August 2023 acquisition of Mount Snow Academy (MSA) was the willingness of several of their trustees to continue to serve in this capacity for Vermont Academy. The addition of this expertise to the Vermont Academy board helped ensure that the transition would be smooth and that no MSA institutional knowledge would be lost.
Shawn Byron, Chris Croft, and Bob McHugh came to know MSA through their daughters, all of whom participated in the Jumpstart program, which is a three day per week program designed to provide the “next step” before moving on to the full time academy program. With this support and strong coaching in high school, the girls have continued to alpine ski race at their respective colleges. The three trustees recognized the role that expert coaching and dedicated time on the snow played in enabling their children to excel at a high level and ultimately, to be able to explore their passion for the sport by competing at the collegiate level.
Because they believed so much in the ski school, they could also easily see the benefits that Vermont Academy would bring to the table — particularly in elevating its academic and college preparatory offerings.
Together, the three have invested in the partnership, allowing Vermont Academy to kick off its fundraising for the program in a strong position. Their initial investment, and all future investment in this exciting new initiative, will ensure the recruitment of high level coaches, enhancement of campus infrastructure, the purchase of new fitness and training equipment, and development of year-round programming.
Thank you Shawn, Chris, and Bob for believing in this venture and helping make the acquisition a success.
Our donors continue to move us with their remarkable support. During the 12 months ending June 30, 2023, more than 1,000 individuals, foundations, and organizations made gifts and commitments to Vermont Academy. These gifts help provide the foundation of excellence that powers our school and that continues to make it a place of transformational, educational experiences.
We are pleased to recognize those who made gifts totaling $1,000 or more during the period July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2023. Those with an asterisk next to their name are also Long Walk Legends, signifying that they have made consecutive gifts for 5 or more years. While space does not allow us to name all donors here, you can review the full list at www.vermontacademy.org/donors using the password “Generosity”. Be assured that every gift, large and small, is recognized as an expression of your generosity. Thank you to all our donors for being part of our community.

Eagle-eyed viewers might have spotted something remarkable on page 10. In the list of our leadership donors, there was one that particularly stands out because of the class year that followed his name “24” — yes, a current student named Bowen Xiao.
It is highly unusual to see a current student among the list of leadership donors, but Bowen, in gratitude for the education he is receiving at Vermont Academy, chose to gift the proceeds that he had earned during the pandemic. Stuck at home during the pandemic, Bowen used his talents for gaming to buy, sell, and trade virtual items like skins. A skin is a graphic download which changes the appearance of characters in video games. Turning this into profit wasn’t easy, but Bowen succeeded. Having taken a class on entrepreneurship at Vermont Academy, and wanting to help others develop the skills necessary to become entrepreneurs in their own field of choice, Bowen made this unique gift to Vermont Academy.
Not one to rest on his laurels, Bowen is currently the co-president of the Vermont Academy Student Association (VASA), an accomplished artist, and a member of the crew team.
Thank you, Bowen, for this incredible gift and for recognizing the role that philanthropy plays in supporting our school.
One Day. One Community. One Goal.
On this day, our entire community comes together to connect, have fun, and give back to the school we love. Celebrate the transformative power of a Vermont Academy education and support the next generation of explorers, thinkers, doers – students who want to make something happen. All funds raised during One Day for VA go directly to providing students and faculty with much-needed resources for financial aid, academic programs, athletics, the arts, and more. We look forward to your support on Tuesday, May 7.
The Vermont Academy Athletic Hall of Fame was established in 1982 to recognize and honor those persons who have made outstanding contributions to the Vermont Academy athletic program. This year we are pleased to honor the following two individuals:
Brooke came to Vermont Academy in 2013 as an accomplished junior national Nordic skier. It was at VA that coach Thom Collins recruited her to row. Brooke’s newfound skills earned her a spot on the University of Washington’s D1 Rowing team, which placed in the top three NCAA Rowing Championships during three of her four years at the University. She was named the 2018 Pac-12 Athlete of the Year and first-team All-Pac-12. She went on to win the USRowing Indoor National Championships in 2019. Brooke rowed in the 2021 Olympics (postponed from 2020) in Tokyo where she finished fourth in the women’s eight. In March of the same year, she broke the indoor women’s ergometer world record for 2,000 meters with a time of 6:21. Brooke is currently training for the 2024 Olympics qualifiers.
As a Vermont Academy student, Chad was a 3-sport athlete and an All-American lacrosse player. After graduating, he attended the University of Denver where he was co-captain of his lacrosse team and was named Most Valuable Offensive Player. After college, he was drafted by the Vancouver Ravens of the National Lacrosse League. With 20 goals recorded and 23 assists in a 25-game career with both the Ravens and the Anaheim Storm, he was a force to be reckoned with. Chad channeled his athleticism into a successful career that included working at Harrow Sports and Reebok where he climbed the ranks to vice president and brand director for the Asia Pacific region. In 2020, he launched ACTIV8 Partners, LLC., merging personal coaching with management consulting.
Brooke and Chad will be honored during the Reunion festivities on Saturday, June 8.
The Vermont Academy Alumni Association honors its most distinguished alumni with the Florence R. Sabin Class of 1889 Distinguished Alumni Award, named in honor of health pioneer Florence Sabin.

Activist, author, leader, trainer, eventer, and coach, Denny Emerson has been a highly influential force in the equestrian community for half a century. He is the only equestrian to have won both an international gold medal in eventing and a Tevis Cup buckle in endurance.
Johnny Rosen ’63
Johnny Rosen is one of the most accomplished recording engineers in the U.S. In 2018, he was awarded the Audio Engineering Society’s Lifetime Achievement Award. After retiring from the music business, he has helped hundreds of people as the director of aftercare at Cumberland Heights Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center.
Established in 2023 by the Vermont Academy Alumni Association, the Outstanding Young Alumni Award recognizes a graduate of the past 20 years for their significant contributions to Vermont Academy, in their community, or in their professional field.
Ethan Tapper ’07
Ethan Tapper is a forester in Chittenden County, Vermont. In 2022, he was honored with the Cooperative Forest Management Forester of the Year Award. His expertise has led him to publish two books.
