"THAT GIRL IS TOTALLY OFF HER TUFFET": Don't even think about missing the BJSHS Drama Dept.'s play "Doc, Doc...Goose!" this Sunday, Dec. 15 at the BAC. It's gonna be a wild show, as BES students can attest; they got a sneak preview this afternoon. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. for the 7 p.m. show, and tickets are $7 for adults and $3 for students, veterans and young children.
A MAJOR DEAL: Beaverton math teacher Kossi Komlassan woke up a Captain in the Michigan Army National Guard this morning, but he'll go to bed with a new title. BJSHS was the ceremonial site for Komlassan's promotion to Major this afternoon, and he was surrounded by his family, his lieutenant colonel and the entire sophomore class he instructs every day. As Operations Officer for the 119th Field Artillery Regiment - AKA the Red Lions - Komlassan knows all about leadership, commitment and getting the job done well, and it was a proud day for the entire district.. Check out the video of the ceremony at https://t.ly/Vyz6r. Congratulations, Major. #Respect #GoBeavers
IT'S WRITTEN IN THE STARS: Say howdy to November's BES Students of the Month: Liam Ryan, Caroline McLaren, Neveah Lewis, Delbert Shinabarger, Bodie Wood, Kaden Komlassan, Bentley Newton, Ember McDonald and Emma Knake. Congrats and #GoBeavers.

BUS CHAT: It's not really possible to overemphasize proper school bus safety and behavior, so BES Principal Shawna Hartwell brought each grade out to a bus this morning for a refresher course. Topics included keeping one's hands to oneself, appropriate language and volume and the correct method to cross in front of the bus. Hartwell also introduced Bus Bucks, a good behavior incentive that can be redeemed with teachers for fun and prizes. #SafetyFirst #GoBeavers

GREAT EGGSPECTATIONS: Big day for knowledge on campus today. (But aren't they all?) At BJSHS, our friend and PlastiVan Educator Elizabeth Egan returned once again to amaze junior high students with lab experiments that always seem to carry just a touch of magic. Meanwhile at BES, the grand finale of the annual Egg Drop project spelled a day of reckoning for dozens. Fourth-graders pulled together weeks of research, bundled their eggs with as much safe packaging as their imaginations could muster, launched them from the top row of the bleachers and hoped for the best in their quest for a safe landing. Neither event ever fails to entertain and as always, science rules the day. #GoBeavers #Eggceptional
