In response to the water main break, which caused three additional cancellation days last week, the Michigan Department of Education has forgiven us two of three days. It has also been confirmed that since we scheduled 181 days of instruction this year, we are not, at this time, required to make up the third day. If, in the event of an additional cancellation between now and the last day of school, we still can request an additional waiver of up to one school day.

THERE AND BACK: The BJSHS juniors and seniors who made the weekend trip to the nation's capitol are returning today, but Teacher Erica Sprague, one of several adult chaperones, checked in with this photo and an update: "We were in Washington, D.C. Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We toured Arlington, the Capitol building and all of the big memorials. This trip was about 18 months in the making, and our students represented the school so well; I am so proud of those kids. The event was a great opportunity for our students to get out and see the world, and I’m hoping to continue it for years to come."
RAISE AND RELEASE: Fourth-graders closed the books on a six-month science project raising salmon that called for investigation, observation and patience. Lots and lots of patience. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/YzQxhVE_0n4.

The TurnAround Awards recognize students from local districts who have overcome significant obstacles in their academic and personal lives; recipients are chosen by BHS staff. Congratulations, gentlemen, for your perseverance and growth, and best of luck in the next phase of your lives. #Determination #GoBeavers
IT'S ALL UPSTREAM FROM HERE: Fourth-graders wrapped up a project they began in November - raising a batch of salmon from eggs to alevins to fry to parr - and this morning they turned them loose. The class released their young salmon into the wild at Michigan's Singing Bridge north of Au Gres. More to come on this story next week, but it's safe to say this science project made a real splash. #TheSpawnOfANewDay #GoBeavers
NATURE WALK: Since the sun came out and temperatures soared above 36 degrees today, about 120 BJSHS Science students took it outside, visiting the school forest on McCulloch Road. Their mission: Identify and catalog as many different trees as possible, as well as any other interesting examples of nature's splendor. They used guidebooks and cell phones to aid in the endeavor and came away impressed by the sheer variety of the forest. #GoBeavers
LIKE THE OSCARS MINUS THE RED CARPET: Beaverton was well-represented at Tuesday's CTE Student Excellence Awards, the culmination of an entire school year's worth of work for juniors and seniors. Check out the photos and list of awardees below, and #GoBeavers.
DEMOCRACY IN ACTION: It was Election Day at BJSHS as students stood in line, received their official ballots and cast their votes for various positions in student government. As with the last several years, a handful of local election officials were on site to give instructions, smooth the process and manage the ballots. Thanks to these volunteers for guiding our students through this valuable introduction to the election process: Vicki Richardson, Judy Brubaker, Katery Stoike, Kelly Avila, Shelle Brubaker and Deb Bergman. #GoBeavers #GoDemocracy
