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

“I WISH EVERYONE IN THE COMMUNITY KNEW JUST HOW MUCH WE ALL CARE ABOUT THEIR KIDS.” - Beaverton is absolutely loaded with excellent teachers. Here's one: www.bit.ly/3HzE36B #TeacherAppreciationWeek #GoBeavers

It's Teacher Appreciation Week! Thank you to Maury Irwin at State Farm Insurance for providing lunch today for our staff.

News from Science! 9th Graders learning about brain chemistry conducted an experiment to determine if exercise had an effect on memory. We analyzed data from groups who jump roped for 10 minutes and those who watched Sponge Bob for 10 minutes. Memory tests were given before and after the activities and the results are in! 67% of those exercising showed improvement and only 36% of cartoon watchers showed improvement on the test. What was most surprising was the number of males who showed improvement after exercising! A whopping 86% of boys jumping rope did better on their 2nd memory test. Equal numbers of girls did better/worse after the exercise and watching cartoons. So there you have it! Let kids run around before you give them a test! It's science!

ARE YOU AMAZING? That's great, because that's exactly what we're looking for in our new employees.
