May the Forth be with You!
The BIC Center and bIrobot (Beaver Island Community School’s robotics team) have a “May the Fourth be with You” Star Wars watch party starting at 2:00 pm tomorrow (Saturday, May 4 th ).
All three films of the original trilogy will be shown on the BIG screen with the BIG sound in the BIC Center. Showtimes are 2:00 pm for A New Hope, 5:00 pm for Empire Strikes Back, and 8:00 for Return of the Jedi. Most importantly, there will be featured events between shows.
After A New Hope, (at around 4:30) the bIrobot team will be demonstrating this year’s
competition robot and showing off the mini robots they will be using in this summer’s BICS Robotics Camp. Between the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the lobby of the BIC Center will be transformed into the Cantina on Tatooine (with appropriate non-alcoholic mocktails). Oh, and there’s a costume contest…so pull out your costumes…and head to a planet in a galaxy far, far, away! PS. All of the shows are rated PG.

The students totally enjoyed the last day of Health and Wellness activities.
Several weeks ago Glenn Hendrix helped the elementary complete a research study on Pat Bonner and shared his new book. Today he was able to play his fiddle for us. The students even got to try their hand at it.
Thank you, Glenn! Our island is full of stories to be shared and experiences to be had.
