Update: Rural Arts and Culture Grant
Thanks to the generous support of the Michigan Council for the
Arts and Cultural Affairs.
The school year is winding down, and so are the in-school art
programs. Thanks to the school staff, who have made us all feel
welcome and appreciated, and who rearranged their schedules to
accommodate our programs. Thanks to Michelle LaFreniere, who helped
in a thousand ways, and was always willing to take on whatever
was needed. Thanks to all the artists who have contributed their
time and talents this year; any successes we have enjoyed this
year have been due to their generosity and enthusiasm. Many people
participated, enriching the program with the diversity of their
interests and experience. Mary Scholl, Cheryl Podgorski, Kelly
Duhamel and Martha Guth were especially generous, often spending
hours preparing examples and contributing their own materials.
Mary often even brought treats for the class! Contributing artists
had to rearrange their schedules, and even take time off from
their jobs in order to come to the school. Thank you all!
We are continuing the Wednesday evening enrichment program through
the summer. All classes are held at the Peaine Township Hall,
Wednesday, 6 to 9 PM. A materials fee is charged when noted, but
classes are otherwise free. Any necessary materials are provided.
Prior registration is necessary; please call Cindy at 448-2960
or Beaver Island Community School at 448-2744 to register. Any
classes with a materials fee require registration at least two
weeks before the class date, so that we can order.

In addition to all she does for students through the Youth Consortium,
Michelle LaFreniere has done a wonderful job of organizing and
scheduling the House Parties. They will continue through September
as well. The next one is June 15, at the home of Mike Sowa (the
old Bonner Farm) on Sloptown Road. –Cindy Ricksgers
