FISHING IN THREE DIMENSIONS: The STEM students in Mrs. Woodruff's class are wrapping up a project in which they designed and created fishing lures using Computer Aided Design and 3-D printing. Along the way, they had to consider factors like which type of fish would be attracted; which geographical region would best suit their lures; cost to produce the lures and selling price; and challenges and potential improvements in the process. #FishOn #GoBeavers
DO YOU SMELL SMOKE? As if tonight's Military Appreciation and Parents Night celebrations weren't enough to bring you out for the big showdown with Meridian, Board of Education Trustee Mike Dodman and friends are offering up pulled pork straight from the smoker. Donations will be gratefully accepted and all proceeds go to the Beaverton Sports Boosters. #Incentivized #GoBeavers

THE FULL HOCO EFFECT: Homecoming, Beaverton Style, arrives Friday and we don’t want you to miss a thing. The PTO will host a tailgate for students from 3 to 4:30 p.m. and for the community from 5 to 7 p.m. On the agenda will be a food truck, Kona Ice, donuts, cider, cornhole, spirit hair and face-painting for students, and the musical stylings of Mr. Phil Andrist, carrying the spirit all the way to the 7 p.m. kickoff versus Pinconning. And, of course, don’t forget the parade, which begins at 5 p.m. It’s gonna be swell! #HocoDoneRight #BeavertonAlways
FREE COLLEGE! Okay. So now that we have your attention, we want to make sure you plan to attend the BJSHS Early College Information Night, which is set for next Tuesday, Sept. 26 at 6 p.m. in the BJSHS Media Center. Our presenters will lay out all the ins and outs of our Early College program, including: What's Early College? What's required from students and families? Can students actually graduate from high school with a two-year college degree or skilled trades certification? (Spoiler alert: Yes.) Is it really free for participating students? (Spoiler alert: Yes.) Beaverton Early College represents an excellent and affordable way for your student to get a jump on college, a career, or both at no cost to families. Please plan to join us for an informative introduction to Early College that may just provide exactly what your son or daughter needs to launch a satisfying, successful career. If you have any questions, please contact Misty Johnson at mjohnson@beavertonschools.net or 989.246.3010, ext. 1338. See you then!
CMU audiology doctoral students were at Beaverton high school this week to visit the 9th graders during their project on human hearing! These students had a wealth of information to share with Mrs. Sprague's science classes, and may have inspired some future audiologists! Thank you to the CMU audiology doctoral program for sending awesome groups of students once again! #fireupchips

I'm tangled up at the freshman fundraiser! Sweet treats, good eats, crafts, and raffles were selling fast tonight. Thank you to all of the families and friends that came out tonight to support this great class of students!
NICE DAY TO STRIKE A POSE: Today was the kind of day at BJSHS where you just want to gather 400 or so of your closest buddies, step outside and capture for future generations just what school spirit looked like in 2023. (Except for the senior class, which was on a field trip.) #GoBeavers
COACH VAN IS STILL THE MAN: A beautiful Friday morning was made brighter today when longtime BHS football coach Dick Van Wieren stopped by to talk a little football, admire the ever-improving Beaverton campus and get a look at the Metzger Field scoreboard that bears his name. #BeavertonAlways #GoBeavers

ACADEMIC AFTER SCHOOL: BJSHS Students, do you need help with homework, writing a paper, or studying for a test? Do you need a quiet place to read? Academic after school begins Monday, September 11th! Grab a snack from the cafeteria and head to Ms. Coughlin's room. It's early in the 1st marking period, but it's never too early to make sure you are staying caught up in all of your classes. Academic after school will run Mondays and Wednesdays in Ms. Coughlin's room and Tuesdays and Thursdays in Mrs. Fischer's room from 3:20-4:20. You will need to make sure you have a ride home. See Mrs. Hargrove if you have any questions!
