GO GREEN!

Beaver Island Community School is asking locals to wear green on September 25th! Be sure to head out to the school to cheer on our Islanders as Beaver Island goes up against our fellow island competitors from Mackinac Island.

Mackinac Island athletes will be coming to Beaver Island on September 25th and 26th to compete in both volleyball and soccer. So, wear your green, enjoy some fall athletics, and come together as a community to support our athletes!

Go, Islanders! Go, Green!
