Good afternoon, We have a couple of busy weeks hosting Boys and Girls Basketball Districts. The Boys play Monday night at 7pm vs Farwell. Tickets can be purchased for $7 online with GoFan. They can also be purchased with credit card at the door. This is a no cash ticketing event per MHSAA. Passes - League passes, coaches' passes, Beaverton lifetime passes and Beaverton Athletic passes etc... are not to be honored at any tournament per MHSAA. Thank you Mark Grove Athletic Director
JUST RIGHT: First-graders at BES got a fun, hands-on look at basic healthcare today courtesy of CTE's Health Occupations students, several of whom are Beaverton's own. In the Teddy Bear Clinic, youngsters received a stuffed animal and walked through the process of addressing the bears' health challenges with the Health Occs students - everything from infant care to blood pressure. The clinics are designed to train CTE students to deal with patients of all types and illnesses, and to help young kids learn about common medical equipment and feel more comfortable around healthcare settings. #CTEitsWorking
SADDLE UP: Kindergarten Roundup at Beaverton Elementary is coming. Mark your calendar for Tuesday, March 4 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at BES.

Potential kindergarteners must be at least five years old on Sept. 1; however, children who turn five between Sept. 1 and Dec. 1 can enroll at the discretion of their parent or legal guardian.) Please help spread the word, and we'll see you on March 4. #RoundUp
THE BIG BOARD: If you missed Hall of Fame Night last week, you probably also missed the unveiling of our new-and-improved Beaverton Schools Wall of Honor. This massive interactive touch-screen near the gym allows users instant access to the bio of every member of the Athletic Hall of Fame and Distinguished Alumni. If you can't make it to BJSHS to see it in person, you can also check it out at https://bit.ly/42Z4BJW. It's well worth a look. #BeavertonAlways

ON TO THE FINALS: In case you missed it, BJSHS student-athletes Eli Roe and Eric Larson punched their tickets to the MHSAA State Wrestling Finals this past weekend. Roe took second in his weight class at the regionals in St. Louis, while Larson brought home fourth place. Both performances were good enough to earn the trip to Ford Field in two weeks. Great job, gentlemen, and #GoBeavers
