SPRINGING INTO TRACTION: It's always an experience when Firefighter Phil Andrist shows up at the school with his bag of first responder tricks. Today, he spoke with Anatomy & Physiology students on the importance of proper immobilization techniques in caring for patients with possible spinal injuries. And, as is always the case when Phil guest-lectures, it was a hands-on endeavor. #SpineOfTheTimes #GoBeavers
A SPECIAL DAY: The Beaverton Elementary Salute to Veterans event has evolved into a heartfelt display of appreciation to our local heroes by our young students.

LIFE SKILLS, BRUSH THRILLS: We ran the gamut of instruction on BJSHS's west end this morning. On one end of the hall, our guest lecturer, Huntington Bank's Jennifer Harper, delivered essential fiscal knowledge to Personal Finance students, including career considerations and savings options. On the other end, Art students painted the pumpkins that will line the streets of Beaverton to celebrate Halloween. #GoBeavers #Adulting #Community

FIELD TRIP CAREER TIP: Our 10th-graders took a ride to SVSU today to take part in MiCareerQuest, offering students the opportunity to learn about careers in our region's high-demand industries through interactive experiences with local employers, which included Saint-Gobain, BMG and Vantage - an important chance to help kids consider what comes after graduation. #GoBeavers #MiCareerQuestMiddleMichigan
EVERY STITCH WAY BUT LOOSE: Anatomy students at BJSHS learned how to thread a needle Friday, which is a lost art in itself. But then they employed the lessons they'd just learned from their guest lecturer, Dr. Jacob Trombley of MyMichigan Health, and started stitching. Sutures, Trombley said, are vital in surgical and wound management. Choosing the proper suture depends on tissue type, healing needs and cosmetic goals, and the proper technique minimizes complications and enhances healing. Students got to practice their skills on lifelike skin samples, deploying different types of stitches for different types of wounds. #LifesAStitch #ForeseeableSuture #GoBeavers
JUST LIKE OLDEN DAYS: It wasn't exactly trudging to school five miles uphill both directions in four feet of snow, but Beaverton's young people got a glimpse this morning at how it used to be. Taking part in International Walk & Roll to School Day, about 100 students and volunteers trekked from the Lions Club on Saginaw Street to BES and BJSHS. The K-12 event is intended to expose students to the advantages of walking or riding to school - an opportunity for regular, healthy physical activity and making connections to their community neighborhoods. Today's walkers today met up with students who ride the bus at the north end of campus and they all walked or rolled to school together. #WalkOn #GoBeavers
SHOW OUT: Time to meet BJSHS's first batch of Students of the Month for the school year.
