GRATEFUL: On Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, we want to thank all of the local folks in blue, none more than Beaverton P.D. Officers Doyle and Cingano, who help keep our campus secure and our kids safe as our School Resource Officers. Whether they're teaching safety lessons in classrooms, conducting home visits or keeping the peace in the hallways, our SROs do an essential job, and they do it very well. Thank you for all you do for our kids every day, officers. #Appreciation #GoBeavers

In a thrilling display of precision and skill, Beaverton Senior, Kaelyn Fischer, emerged as a standout performer at the Mid Winter Classic, claiming the prestigious 3rd place. The bowling lanes echoed with the thunderous sound of strikes as Kaelyn navigated the competition with finesse. Her top scores included a 150, 170, 171, and 168. Congrats to all of the bowlers today!

2023: THE YEAR IN B - As we wind down the year and the semester, enjoy one last look back at the last 12 months for the school we love. https://youtu.be/9TajMI-WNUQ #BeavertonAlways #GoBeavers

FUN AMIDST THE FRENZY: As students barreled toward semester-ending exams this past week, teachers still found ways to lighten the mood here and there. In Mr. Wentworth’s Civics class, jury deliberations followed a week-long Mock Trial. In Mrs. Lyons’ sixth-grade Science class, students took in some important environmental lessons from DNR Scientist Jonathan Massung. And in Mrs. Gerow’s Health class, School Resource Officer Steve Cingano stopped by to discuss the law. #GoBeavers

CALENDAR CHECK: As we sprint to the finish line for the semester and the year, we want to remind students and parents of our holiday schedule. Wednesday, Dec. 20 and Thursday, Dec. 21 are FULL DAYS for all students, with most BJSHS students scheduled for semester exams on those days. The holiday break begins Friday, Dec. 22, with students returning with a full day Thursday, Jan. 4. Let's finish strong, Beavers!

A GREAT EXCUSE TO TURN LOOSE SOME SEUSS: There aren't many guarantees in life, but customer satisfaction with the annual BES Kindergarten Christmas Concert is a stone-cold lock. Singing, dancing and a green dude in a Santa suit - nothing else compares. #GreatShow #AsAlways

STREETSAFE: Here's a tip of the stovepipe hat to BJSHS Paraprofessional Hope Cumbee, who's been filling in as crossing guard recently. Not only has she kept our kids safe, she's added a healthy dose of holiday zing in the process. #StayFrosty #GoBeavers
