WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 6, 2021 – DAY C

Library Top Pick of the Day: Do you love Stars Wars? If so, proceed directly to the BC Library to check out our Top Pick of the Day A Test of Courage: Star Wars, The High Republic by Justina Ireland. Long before the Clone Wars, the Empire, or the First Order, the Jedi lit the way for the galaxy in a golden age known as the High Republic! Vernestra Rwoh is a new Jedi Knight at age sixteen, but her first real assignment feels an awful lot like babysitting. She's been charged with supervising twelve-year old aspiring inventor Avon Starros on a cruiser headed to the dedication of a wondrous new space station called Starlight Beacon. But soon into their journey, bombs go off aboard the cruiser. While the adult Jedi try to save the ship, Vernestra, Avon, Avon's droid J-6, a Jedi Padawan, and an ambassador's son make it to an escape shuttle, but communications are out and supplies are low. They decide to land on a nearby moon, which offers shelter but not much more. And unbeknownst to them, danger lurks in the forest.

Our 7th and 8th grade field hockey team played an awesome game against Valley Forge. The defense held the Eagles back the entire game, and the offense was able to get a few breakaways. The game ended with a tie 0-0. Great game everyone! Go Knights!

All football players report directly to the locker room at 2:15 today to get ready for our game against Radnor. Please do not leave class before 2:15, and do not waste any time in the locker room as our bus leaves at 2:30. Go Knights!
