THE STUDENTS SPEAK: It's Teacher Appreciation Week and our students have some thoughts. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/RE4mPSH0etA. #ThanksTeachers #GoBeavers
SHOWTIME: Don't miss Beaverton Elementary's Spring Music Concert this Thursday. The kids have been working hard and it's time to light the lights. The action starts at the BES gym with Grades 2 and 3 performing at 5:30 p.m. They'll be followed by Grades 4 and 5 starting at 6:45 p.m. C'mon out and enjoy! #GoBeavers
IT'S GO TIME: When you vote on the CTE Millage renewal request Tuesday, please remember a couple things. First: The renewal request is just that - a RENEWAL. That means passage won't increase your taxes - not one bit. Second: This year, thanks to CTE, 42 percent of Beaverton juniors and seniors are getting hands-on, real-world training in one of 11 skilled trades or occupations that produce extremely employable young adults for industries throughout our community. Third: Since the CTE millage was first approved by voters in 2016, more than 500 Beaverton students have been served in the program, launching careers and flooding the local workforce with trained, experienced ready-to-work employees. And fourth: Everything else you could possibly want to know about CTE is available by scanning the code or visiting CTEitsWorking.com/millage. Please vote Tuesday. #LetsDoThis #GoBeavers
THANK YOU: It's Teacher Appreciation Week. For all the long days, for the thoughtful conversations, for the flat-out fun, for the enduring above-and-beyond effort, and for repeatedly giving more than you thought you had, an entire community is grateful. Thanks, Beaverton Teachers. #BeavertonAlways
THERE SHE GOES: It was a bittersweet scene Thursday afternoon as students and staff lined the halls to bid farewell to Candy Fischer, who said goodbye to Beaverton Schools after more than 30 years of service. Candy affected the lives of innumerable kids in her time with us, including as a recess aide, special and general education paraprofessional and school secretary. Students knew her as a friend and a confidant - somebody they could really talk to. Our loss certainly is Clare-Gladwin RESD's gain as she begins her next chapter as the Special Education Department Secretary. Thanks for everything, Mrs. Fischer; you're already missed. But we know in your heart, it's #BeavertonAlways.
WHERE YOU HEADED? As seniors accelerate toward graduation, we thought it'd be appropriate to ask "What's Next?" Here are some of their answers. #BeavertonAlways #ClassOf25
THE BAND IS BACK TOGETHER: Our middle school and high school musicians returned to the stage Monday night at the BJSHS Spring Concert, and it was excellent. The kids performed selections by Bach, Webber, Denver and more, and a few of the middle school musicians joined their high school counterparts to close out the night's final number. Congrats to our fearless conductor Mr. Grifhorst and great job to everyone involved. #GoBeavers.
LEADERS WANTED: Do you know a student with good grades, a commitment to community and a desire to lead? The Beaverton chapter of the National Honor Society is excited to add the next deserving batch of standouts to hoist the torch carried by previous generations of BHS notables. Interested students should join us for an informational meeting May 19 at lunch in Mrs. Grice's room. #NHS #Service
ENTERTAINING ECOLOGY: Sixth-grade science students received a visit from Zach Bates of the Gladwin County Conservation District; then they received a gift that could last the rest of their lives. Bates spoke with the kids about the many essential roles trees play in our global existence, from oxygenation to lumber and everything in between. Then he presented each student with a white spruce sapling to plant at home. #GoTreevers

INFORMED + ENGAGED: Beaverton Schools continues its I+E Community Forum this week with a focus on what we're calling...The Big Picture. (But don't worry - as usual, we'll talk about other topics as well, and leave plenty of time for Q & A.) Please be sure to attend; every month, people are learning new things they didn't know about the district. That tells us this series is a great idea and that it's working. All interested parties are welcome and we will have childcare available so parents may focus on the meeting. Join us Thursday at 5:30 p.m. at the BJSHS Media Center, and please let us know you're attending by scanning the code or visiting https://bit.ly/4hlgQ7G. You can also use the form to offer topics, concerns or questions. #SuccessStartsByShowingUp

MISTER HISTORY: If you're in Mr. Collins' first-grade class and you're doing project-based learning on the origins of your hometown, there's nobody better to bring in than Mr. Bob Frei. The kids have been working hard, collecting dates, data and timelines about the history of Beaverton, and Mr. Frei stopped by Monday to lend a bit of his considerable knowledge on the subject. The project will culminate in a presentation to community members May 14 at the BAC from 9 a.m. until noon. Stop by and discover what you didn't know about our town. #GoBeavers #BeavertonAlways
A FEW OF MY FAVORITE WINGS: The annual visit by BES kindergarteners to Dow Gardens' 'Butterflies in Bloom' exhibit is a reliable highlight of every school year. Our kids made the trip Friday and learned all about chrysalises, got hands-on lessons in the different stages of the butterfly's life and, per usual, enjoyed it immensely. #GoBeavers
HEY NOW, YOU'RE AN ALL-STAR: Spring Break pushed it back a bit, but there's no way we're missing the chance to honor the BES Students of the Month for March. The are, l to r, Kylie Johnson, Amelia Horn, Quintin Hall, Kallen Russell, Sawyer Grove, James Credille, Jacob Harding, Raymond Jones and Noah Coppola. Congrats to all, and #GoBeavers.
