ON THE LINE: Congratulations to senior George Killian, who signed on the dotted line today with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 692. George is receiving a five-year electrical apprenticeship, including 960 hours of related training and 8,000 hours of on-the-job training under the agreement. #Wired #GoBeavers

IT'S BEEN GRAND, DAN: At Monday's practice, the varsity softball team paid tribute to a man who's been roaming the basepaths at BHS for 33 years as head coach, co-coach and all-around excellent human being. After more than three decades, Dan Whitmer will step down following the season. While it's impossible to measure the positive impact Dan's had on generations of young people in our school, it's painfully simple to gauge how much he'll be missed. #ThanksDan #GoBeavers

A GUBERNATORIAL GREETING: It’s a blink-and-you'll-miss it kind of thing, but when BJSHS’s very own math teacher and U.S. Army Captain Kossi Komlassan was recently deployed to Latvia with the Michigan National Guard, he crossed paths with Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Komlassan was able to secure a message from Whitmer to this week’s graduates, which you can view at bit.ly/3BKYcTS. You can read more about Komlassan’s mission and the governor’s visit at bit.ly/3MMzvN1 and bit.ly/438QL4C.

TOMORROW'S LEADERS...TODAY: Before they close out the year, the BJSHS eighth grade elected its slate of officers for student council in high school. The class of 2027's leadership is Myah Hubble (president), Sayde Woodruff (vice-president), Charity Danielak (secretary) and Sophie Milks (treasurer), along with representatives Isabelle Dodman, Ben Zdrojewski and Trinity Danielak.

ENJOYING THE JEWEL OF THE GREAT LAKES: Our eighth-graders embarked on the annual visit to Mackinac Island Saturday. While the air was a bit chilly, the sun came out (eventually) and made for a nice day and a great getaway. #GoBeavers

FROM THE HEART: Graduation is Thursday at 7 p.m. To view a special message for the Class of '23, click the photo or go here: https://bit.ly/45j1viH #BeavertonAlways

RECOGNITION: The BJSHS Academic Awards roared back this morning, thanks to expert show-planning by our NHS crew. Outstanding students were applauded across all sectors in an excellent prelude to next week's graduation activities. #BestAndBrightest #GoBeavers

THE YEAR-ENDER: Beaverton Schools' LINKS program, which pairs student mentors with younger students with autism or other disabilities, celebrated the end of its first year today with some exercise, some fun and some ice cream. Participants from all grade levels got together and played games, ran obstacle courses and genuinely enjoyed the connective moments they shared today and throughout the year. This program promises to be even bigger next fall as more mentors join the ranks, and the only word to describe its initial run this year is "success." #GoBeavers

A BIT OWLY: Beaverton Aviary...check that, Beaverton Elementary was chock-full of activity today. As the week's fifth-grade bird house exhibit wound down, students were treated to a visit from the husband-and-wife team of Joe and Barb Rogers of the Wildlife Recovery Association. The Rogerses brought several feathered associates with them, generating what we in the education biz call 'big science' as well as plenty of oohs and ahhs. #BirdsAreCool #GoBeavers

TO BE FAIR...: Mrs. Johnson's students in the Jobs for Michigan's Graduates program hosted a job fair this morning for young folks looking for work this summer (or beyond). Several local employers were on hand to meet the many students who showed up dressed for success with résumés in hand, ready to make good eye contact and a great first impression. Thanks to all our local employers who took part in helping prepare our kids for life outside of school. #Employable #GoBeavers
