Based on our discussions with Harrison Schools and our Admininstration today, we have decided for the safety of our kids and community to cancel our Girls basketball game scheduled for tonight (12/5/24). Thank you for understanding.
Good morning. We are currently in talks with our Admin and road commission on our scheduled Girls game this evening with Harrison. We hope to have a decision made around noon. There will be no youth/middle school and sub varsity practices. please watch for posted updates. Thank you.
All sporting events for Beaverton Schools have been cancelled for this evening. This includes the JH girls basketball game, HS boys basketball game, and HS bowling competition. In addition, all practices for all sports and clubs have also been cancelled. SPARKS is releasing early tonight at 4:00. Please stay safe and have a good evening.
REALITY CHECK: Learning essential life skills was at the top of the to-do list at the annual Reality Store event today at BJSHS. This collaboration between Beaverton Schools, Clare-Gladwin CTE and Mid Michigan College presents students - in today's case, seniors - with scenarios set in the not-so-distant future, like: You're just starting a career, or college, or both. What kind of job do you need to support your aspirations and live the life you want? Students are given a strict budget and need to account for life's necessities like housing, transportation, food, insurance, entertainment and more. Their mission is to make it all fit within their means. The lessons are numerous and valuable - everything from career planning to money management. #LifeSkills #GoBeavers
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: It's hard to enjoy sports without concessions, right? Well, it's also hard to provide concessions without volunteers. So the Beaverton Sports Boosters is asking friends, fans and family of BJSHS and BES sports to step up and take a turn behind the concession counter this winter, and they've made it easier than ever to sign up. Just visit bit.ly/3WQkVrP to choose your sport and date. And thanks. Community spirit is what makes this place special. #GoBeavers
HOPEFUL, THOUGHTFUL, GRATEFUL: Wishes for a restful and safe Thanksgiving holiday from your friends at Beaverton Schools. Classes resume Monday, Dec. 2. #Gratitude #GoBeavers
BUS CHAT: It's not really possible to overemphasize proper school bus safety and behavior, so BES Principal Shawna Hartwell brought each grade out to a bus this morning for a refresher course. Topics included keeping one's hands to oneself, appropriate language and volume and the correct method to cross in front of the bus. Hartwell also introduced Bus Bucks, a good behavior incentive that can be redeemed with teachers for fun and prizes. #SafetyFirst #GoBeavers
IT ALL ADDS UP: Beaverton's chapter of the National Honor Society is once again heading up the Change Christmas program Dec. 2-6, with BJSHS students in each WIN class competing to raise funds to provide holiday gifts to families in the community. If you're a student, just bring your loose change to school and NHS reps will pick it up every day next week during WIN. If you'd like to help out but your high school days are behind you, no problem - you're welcome to donate through any BJSHS student. #HolidaySpirit #GoBeavers
STATE OF THE ART: The fundraising partnership between BES, its art students and Square 1 Art gives you the opportunity to see your student’s creations brought to life in many different applications.
