BORN TO RUN: Big doings at BJSHS today as Senior Tessa Wohlschlegel signed her letter of intent to run at Ferris State University this fall. Tessa - the school's cross country ladies' record holder, state finalist and academic standout - was joined by her parents, Coach Nicki Walters, family and friends for the event. (And her consecutive day running streak stands at 1,258, so yeah, she'll be running later today.) Congrats to Tessa, an absolute lock to succeed in life. #BeavertonAlways

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.

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
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
