TOMORROW'S LEADERS...TODAY: Before they close out the year, the BJSHS eighth grade elected its slate of officers for student council in high school. The class of 2027's leadership is Myah Hubble (president), Sayde Woodruff (vice-president), Charity Danielak (secretary) and Sophie Milks (treasurer), along with representatives Isabelle Dodman, Ben Zdrojewski and Trinity Danielak.
ENJOYING THE JEWEL OF THE GREAT LAKES: Our eighth-graders embarked on the annual visit to Mackinac Island Saturday. While the air was a bit chilly, the sun came out (eventually) and made for a nice day and a great getaway. #GoBeavers

RECOGNITION: The BJSHS Academic Awards roared back this morning, thanks to expert show-planning by our NHS crew. Outstanding students were applauded across all sectors in an excellent prelude to next week's graduation activities. #BestAndBrightest #GoBeavers
THE YEAR-ENDER: Beaverton Schools' LINKS program, which pairs student mentors with younger students with autism or other disabilities, celebrated the end of its first year today with some exercise, some fun and some ice cream. Participants from all grade levels got together and played games, ran obstacle courses and genuinely enjoyed the connective moments they shared today and throughout the year. This program promises to be even bigger next fall as more mentors join the ranks, and the only word to describe its initial run this year is "success." #GoBeavers
A BIT OWLY: Beaverton Aviary...check that, Beaverton Elementary was chock-full of activity today. As the week's fifth-grade bird house exhibit wound down, students were treated to a visit from the husband-and-wife team of Joe and Barb Rogers of the Wildlife Recovery Association. The Rogerses brought several feathered associates with them, generating what we in the education biz call 'big science' as well as plenty of oohs and ahhs. #BirdsAreCool #GoBeavers
FAMILIES WITH DENTAL NEEDS: The GLB Health Centers Dental Bus is returning to Beaverton Schools next week, and if your student needs some preventative dental services, this is a great opportunity.

TO BE FAIR...: Mrs. Johnson's students in the Jobs for Michigan's Graduates program hosted a job fair this morning for young folks looking for work this summer (or beyond). Several local employers were on hand to meet the many students who showed up dressed for success with résumés in hand, ready to make good eye contact and a great first impression. Thanks to all our local employers who took part in helping prepare our kids for life outside of school. #Employable #GoBeavers

LIFE SAVERS AND TURNAROUNDERS: It was so busy at BJSHS last week that we're still talking about it. All ninth-graders in Mrs. Sprague's Integrated Science classes spent several days working to become CPR/AED/First Aid certified, a truly noble accomplishment. On Tuesday, Mrs. Wagner's Business students went to Dow Diamond for a tour and a presentation on the business of baseball; they also took in a game. And on Thursday, the Clare-Gladwin Area School Board Association's annual TurnAround Achievement Awards luncheon took place and BJSHS seniors Austin Eastman and Leiyah Mungin were among the very deserving honorees representing Beaverton. Congratulations to...well, everybody. #Proud #GoBeavers
