Have cafe, will study.

The local "Cafe 131" becomes a hot spot for wifi and studying in the afternoon.  Especially on a rainy day.

U16 Community Service Week Day 1

From Sarah:  Today was our first day of community service. We've been split up into three different teams, all going to different places, to work on building and designing new bike trails. My group was spilt up into two smaller teams, one to work on building berm turns and another to rake out the trail. Pat, Gray, Bella, and I started the day off with two huge piles of dirt and went home with two pretty sick berms. I'm excited to see what the trails look like at the end of this week, we've already made so much progress and it's only been one day!

Quick note on biology...  During the late summer, bees and hornets are preparing their nests for winter.  Since they won't be able to successfully start a new nest and stock it up with food, they are more protective of what they've got.  Gray and Patrick (shown below) found this out as they were digging within a few feet of a nest.

Multitasking

The three legs of the stool at BMA are Community, Athletics and Academics.

In this short video, Sophie demonstrates how to hit all three at once:  furnishing her dorm to improve residential life; getting in an extra workout; reimagining the struggles of Sisyphus in a modern context.
