The 7th- and 8th-graders at the BICS have taken on another urgent
need: improving the basketball court behind the school. The cement
has cracked, and indestructible picnic tables and a garbage can
are needed.
The kids knew money was the main obstacle, so they held a bake
sale at McDonough's Market on April 18th, and then presented a
check for the proceeds to the School Board the next day. They
hope additional funds might be available from the school's ‘Sinking
Fund,’ which was set up to pay for school repairs. Michelle
LaFreniere hopes to complete the work before Island Clean-Up Day
on May 17th. Her crew of Caitlin Boyle, Hannah Connor, Patrick
Cull, Deven Cook, Maeve Green, Signe' Thomas, Eric Albin, Leaha
Cary, Brittany Crandall, Kevin Gillespie, Samantha Kuligoski,
Brenden Martin, Andrea Moore, Melissa Peters, Jeffery Smith and
Daniel Runberg should be congratulated for identifying a problem
and vigorously attacking it.
