Well, this concludes another year of MICA Pre-College. (cue Vitamin C's "Graduation (Friends Forever)") Thanks to all of you for making it (truly) one of the best years yet! We hope you've enjoyed keeping up with the BEAT. It has definitely been fun documenting all of your adventures and experiences. Hopefully all the hard work you put in has paid off and now you can look back with nothing but fond memories. Consider this blog a virtual yearbook of sorts that you can now use to reminisce on the days of Pre-college's past. Again, kudos to you all for making it another year to remember and, in the words of Fall Out Boy, Thnks Fr Th Mmrs.

Action Movie Night
Summer is a time for the beach, a time for sandals, a time for popsicles, a time for camp. But most of all, it's a time for BIG BLOCKBUSTER ACTION MOVIES!!! So on Wednesday the 21st, we'll be having ACTION MOVIE NIGHT! Which action movie will we be enjoying, you ask?
You choose!
That's right, you decide which movie will be projected on the big screen. Will it be the '90s classic Independence Day or the hottest action movie around, Avatar? Will it be Robert Downey Jr in Sherlock Holmes or Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man? It's up to you.
Vote here!
