This is the week Beaverton Elementary! Check out our fall book fair happening all week during school hours. We'll stay open until 3:30 on Wednesday. Click this link for all the details and to set up your child's eWallet.
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.
Participating families must fill out our quick-and-easy online permission slip at bit.ly/46MZ7Dz or by scanning the code. Please complete this as soon as possible. We want to thank you in advance for your participation in this fun and important school/community event. Please don’t hesitate to contact Kara Pahl with any questions at kpahl@beavertonschools.net or 989.246.3020.

IT ALL ROYALS DOWN TO THIS: We've got a homecoming queen and king. As announced at today's assembly, meet your 2025 BHS Homecoming Royalty: Queen Alivia Harrell and King Gage Spencer. Congrats to these two and the entire court and be sure to catch them tonight in the parade at 5 p.m. and at the game at 7 p.m. #Homecoming #BeavertonAlways
THEY'VE GROWN SO TALL: Former BES students wearing their Beaver gear collided with current BES students wearing their Beaver gear this morning as the Varsity and JV football teams met students at the door and attempted to break the all-time high-five record. (Results are pending.) As is the case every year, smiles ruled the day, and why not? It's #Homecoming #GoBeavers #BeavertonAlways
IN CONCLUSION: Here's one last reminder of the schedule for Homecoming Friday. The PTO's Tailgate extravaganza will take place after school in the grassy area near the Metzger Field parking lot . The parade begins at 5 p.m. and kickoff versus Meridian is at 7 p.m., with the introduction of the homecoming court set for halftime. It goes without saying, but that won't stop us from saying it: #GoBeavers #BeavertonAlways
SPIRIT WEEK SERENADE: It's one of our finest traditions: Every year during Spirit Week, the BHS Marching Band ignites the spark of spirit for our elementary students by roaming the BES hallways and playing the beloved fight song at full blast. Always a hit. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/3Fk3byjtZKY . #RahFightWin #BeavertonAlways
A LATE NIGHT: With Monday night's Lions win still fresh in their minds, a LOT of students and staff showed up for Spirit Week's Jersey Day this morning sporting the Honolulu Blue & Silver. The themes continue throughout the week at BES with Pajama Day (Wednesday), Hat Day (Thursday) and Beaverton Spirit Day (Friday). And don't sleep on the PTO tailgate after school Friday, the homecoming parade at 5 p.m. and the football game versus Meridian at 7 p.m. #BeavertonHOCO #BeavertonAlways

THE SMART MONEY'S ALWAYS ON THE GIGGLE GANG: Last Friday's weather-defiant BES Fun Run might have felt like the culmination of the BES fundraiser, but it wasn't, not quite anyway. After families and stakeholders spent the past couple weeks pledging dollars for laps by kids K though 5, the youngsters braved the harsh, rainy wind to fulfill their promises, and they did it with smiles on their faces and pep in their steps. Because of its success at BES, the fundraiser - which will help pay for field trips and guest speakers - has been extended for an additional week, so if you'd like to take part, head over to www.mybooster.com. (And much thanks to those who already have.) We'll check back next week to share final results. #GoBeavers
IN APPRECIATION: Don't miss Friday night's varsity football game against Farwell, which doubles as our Military Appreciation Night. If you're a veteran or an EMS worker, please contact Athletic Director Mark Grove at 989.246.3010 or magrove@beavertonschools.net so we can make sure you get free admission to the game, which kicks off at 7 p.m. at Metzger Field. #ThankYou #GoBeavers
SIGN O' THE TIMES: Maybe you know a BJSHS sophomore. Maybe you like a good yard decoration just as much as the next person. Maybe you just like supporting a good cause and the school we all love. Whatever your motivation, our shiny new PROUD SUPPORTER yard signs are here, and we're pretty sure you're gonna want one. For just $10, you can support the class of 2028's prom fundraiser and beautify your neighborhood all at once. There are three easy ways to get one (or more). 1) Ask a sophomore; 2) Buy one at select home athletic events; or 3) Scan the code or visit www.bit.ly/46dCbfp. The PROUD SUPPORTER yard sign: Showing your school pride has never been easier. #GoBeavers
"ALL ABOUT THAT BASS" or "NO, IT WASN'T A FLYING FISH...FOR LONG": Ah, nature's splendor. It happened last week; you're only hearing about it now because it took us the weekend to mentally process it. A group of fifth-graders enjoyed recess on Friday while an eagle soared majestically overhead. But they found their respite temporarily (and who knows, maybe permanently) interrupted by this decent-sized smallmouth bass plummeting from the sky. Playground detectives pieced together a scenario in which the eagle had plucked the fish from a nearby waterway but lost its grip over the school, sending it hurtling to the ground to the mixed shock and amusement of onlookers young and old. (Because let's face it: This doesn't happen every day at BES. But it probably isn't the first time ever, either.) Photo credit goes to Mrs. Longstreth, who managed to hold it in one hand and shoot it with the other.
HOCO MOJO: We'll celebrate Homecoming Sept. 26, but if you want to dress the part, head over to the apparel shop today to score your HOCO '25 tees and hoodies. You can visit the online store at www.bhshoco25.spiritsale.com or in-person at Create It in downtown Beaverton. Students are also selling the merch during lunch this week. The order cut-off date is Sept. 17 and fans can either pick up their orders at Create It or have them delivered to the school. #GoBeavers
