WE WISH YOU A MERRY LIVESTREAM: Join the virtual party this afternoon as BES presents its annual Kindergarten Christmas Program live and in full color. The show starts streaming at 1:40 p.m. on the Beaverton Schools YouTube channel at https://rb.gy/grl1oc. #I'mTellingYouWhy
GRINCHY GREETING: Like sleighbells and candy canes, a visit from the Grinch is practically a holiday tradition at Beaverton Elementary. Today was the big day, and as kids approached the front doors of the school, they grabbed the chance to exchange hugs and high-fives with the gangly green guy. #UnwashedSocks
Gladwin and Beaverton Administration have decided to play our Boys Basketball games tonight starting at 4:30pm @ Beaverton. The decision was looked into carefully and based on the increased temperatures travel should be ok.

While our students were excited to perform in their play this afternoon, we have decided to cancel due to the current road conditions. More information will come at a later date for the rescheduled performance. Thank you for your understanding. Stay safe!
"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. Count on 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

REALITY CHECK: Learning essential life skills was at the top of the to-do list at the annual Reality Store event today at BJSHS. This collaboration between Beaverton Schools, Clare-Gladwin CTE and Mid Michigan College presents students - in today's case, seniors - with scenarios set in the not-so-distant future, like: You're just starting a career, or college, or both. What kind of job do you need to support your aspirations and live the life you want? Students are given a strict budget and need to account for life's necessities like housing, transportation, food, insurance, entertainment and more. Their mission is to make it all fit within their means. The lessons are numerous and valuable - everything from career planning to money management. #LifeSkills #GoBeavers
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: It's hard to enjoy sports without concessions, right? Well, it's also hard to provide concessions without volunteers. So the Beaverton Sports Boosters is asking friends, fans and family of BJSHS and BES sports to step up and take a turn behind the concession counter this winter, and they've made it easier than ever to sign up. Just visit bit.ly/3WQkVrP to choose your sport and date. And thanks. Community spirit is what makes this place special. #GoBeavers
HOPEFUL, THOUGHTFUL, GRATEFUL: Wishes for a restful and safe Thanksgiving holiday from your friends at Beaverton Schools. Classes resume Monday, Dec. 2. #Gratitude #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
IT ALL ADDS UP: Beaverton's chapter of the National Honor Society is once again heading up the Change Christmas program Dec. 2-6, with BJSHS students in each WIN class competing to raise funds to provide holiday gifts to families in the community. If you're a student, just bring your loose change to school and NHS reps will pick it up every day next week during WIN. If you'd like to help out but your high school days are behind you, no problem - you're welcome to donate through any BJSHS student. #HolidaySpirit #GoBeavers
STATE OF THE ART: The fundraising partnership between BES, its art students and Square 1 Art gives you the opportunity to see your student’s creations brought to life in many different applications.
