JUST LIKE OLDEN DAYS: It wasn't exactly trudging to school five miles uphill both directions in four feet of snow, but Beaverton's young people got a glimpse this morning at how it used to be. Taking part in International Walk & Roll to School Day, about 100 students and volunteers trekked from the Lions Club on Saginaw Street to BES and BJSHS. The K-12 event is intended to expose students to the advantages of walking or riding to school - an opportunity for regular, healthy physical activity and making connections to their community neighborhoods. Today's walkers today met up with students who ride the bus at the north end of campus and they all walked or rolled to school together. #WalkOn #GoBeavers
SHOW OUT: Time to meet BJSHS's first batch of Students of the Month for the school year. They are, l to r, Jestin Kellogg, Tanner Yott, Eric Sherman, Kylie Johnson, Karter Offenbecker, Kimberly Cobb, Bryssa Delisle, Clayton Revis and Evan Elliott. Not pictured: Caleb Warner, Hali Rider, Stormy Ward, Micheal Maloney and Jaxon Henson. #GoBeavers

GROUP PROJECT: Beaverton Schools will participate in International Walk and Roll to School Day on Oct. 8. The globe-spanning event began in the U.S. in 1997 and includes participants from all 50 states and 40 countries; it was established by a national alliance of public and private organizations committed to making walking safer, easier and more enjoyable.
On the morning of Oct. 8, participating Beaverton K-12 students will convene in one of two locations to take part. Self-transporting families (non-bus riders) will gather at the Beaverton Lions Club at 142 Saginaw Street. Community members, city employees and school staff will walk with students to school. Please arrive no later than 7:30 a.m. Meanwhile, bus riders will be dropped off at the BCAP Pickleball Courts on Tonkin Street. From there, students and students and staff will walk to school together.
Please note: If you self-transport your BES student and he or she is not participating in the walk, please be advised that the Tonkin Street campus entrance will be closed to traffic for the event and you’ll need to use the M-18 entrance near the Central Office to drop off your BES students.
