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!

SAFER AND STRONGER: With the passage of our bond proposal in 2021, Beaverton Schools affirmed its commitment to a safer, more secure campus with the improvements that would follow. Today's safety drills marked another step in honoring that pledge to protect our kids. Students and staff trained to properly deploy The Boot, a system designed to alert the entire campus in the event of an emergency, lock down each building and prevent intruders from entering the classroom. Available in each classroom throughout the district, The Boot is a barricade and alarm system that can withstand 16,000 pounds of pressure while alerting administrators and law enforcement that a lockdown is underway. Today, staff and students observed a safety demonstration and then practiced proper procedures in the event The Boot is necessary. (BES kids also got to meet safety mascot Bobby The Boot.)

FOR THEIR HEATH: On Friday, students were given a copy of the MidMichigan Community Health Services 2023-24 School Wellness Center Consent Form to bring home to parents and guardians. Completing and returning this form is required for the school nurse to administer medical aid for your child, so please do so ASAP. If you need to download and print a copy of the form, it's available here: https://5il.co/22v36. #GoBeavers

SUPPLY LINE: As we kicked off the school year this week, BES and BJSHS got a boost in classroom supplies thanks to Maverick Ford. We appreciate the donation and we know our students will put it to good use. #GoBeavers
