HAT TRICK: There was plenty of Beaverton sweat poured into last weekend's Gladiators youth hockey district, which saw the area 10U, 12U and 14U teams sweeping their way to the state tournament.

WELCOME TO BOOMTOWN: Students in Mrs. Sprague's Science class ran a project this week that incorporated not only the chemistry of fireworks, but other areas of study like fire safety, local politics and the economy. Their job was to convince local city leaders of the fictional city of Boomtown (real-life adult volunteers) that they could put on a safe and entertaining fireworks show for the community. #Boom #GoBeavers

Tessa - the school's cross country ladies' record holder, state finalist and academic standout - was joined by her parents, Coach Nicki Walters, family and friends for the event. (And her consecutive day running streak stands at 1,258, so yeah, she'll be running later today.) Congrats to Tessa, an absolute lock to succeed in life. #BeavertonAlways
