"WHY ASK PI?" or "JUST A SPLATTER OF TIME": We can't exit this week without paying tribute to the highly-regarded and now-annual Pi Assembly, held every March 14. Spirited sessions of duck-duck-goose and musical chairs eventually gave way to the main event: the BPA fundraiser in which students paid for a chance to put a pie square in the face of any number of staff luminaries. And boy, did they.

MATTERS LOCAL AND COSMIC: Interesting times at BJSHS this morning. Students (led by the BHS Marching Band) gathered in the hall to well-wish state finalists Kaelyn Fischer (bowling) and Eli Roe and Leland Love (wrestling). Meanwhile in P.E. class, they broke out the black lights and partook in Beaverton's first-ever session of Cosmic Badminton. #TotallyRadical

NEW LEARNERS: Beaverton Elementary Schools is accepting applications for enrollment for the 2024-25 school year and will host a New Learners Info Night Feb. 28 to introduce families to the school. “Because we offer more than kindergarten for young learners at Beaverton, we wanted to open the process up to students who may be better suited for our preschool or our Young Fives program,” said BES Principal Shawna Hartwell. “That’s why we’re expanding the traditional Kindergarten Roundup event to include those younger ages as well.” The New Learners Info Night, set for 6 p.m. on Feb. 28 at BES, will offer families a chance to hear about the different programs, meet with staff and tour the facilities. Hartwell said Beaverton’s growing preschool program is one reason behind the event, but not the only one. “Next fall, in addition to our three kindergarten classes and our preschool and Young Fives classes, we plan to offer an additional preschool opportunity,” she said. “Working with families earlier in the process will help ensure that each student is placed in the best position to succeed as they begin their careers here at Beaverton Schools.” Hartwell said families are welcome to enroll at the district anytime by visiting beavertonschools.net/enroll or calling 246-3020. “This event is a great way for young students and their families to get to know the staff and the school,” she said. “Once they’re enrolled, we’ll follow up with student assessments to determine the appropriate starting point for them in our school. It’s all designed to provide the best learning environment possible for new students at this crucial juncture of their development.”

SO MUCH DRAMA! - A trio of Beavers took their Forensics skills to MSU's Spartan IE Invitational Saturday and performed very well, with Olivia Smith and Ashlynne Krzyzaniak earning 4th place in Duo 9/10 and Ford Kingry coming up just short in an ultra-competitive Informative 9/10. Great job, team. And while we're on the subject of the performing arts, auditions for the spring Madrigal Dinner Theatre are under way this week. See the flier below for details and c'mon out and join the fun. #Drama #GoBeavers

NEW LEARNERS UNITE! We used to call it Kindergarten Roundup, but that really doesn't begin to explain how much we offer and how far it reaches. Whether your youngster is ready for Preschool, Young Fives or Kindergarten, join us Feb. 28 at 6 p.m. at BES for New Learners Info Night. We'll discuss everything you need to know and do to join our happy BES family as well as tour the building and answer all questions. (And if you want to go ahead and just enroll your child of any age right now, that's fine as well - go to beavertonschools.net/enroll to get started.) #TheFutureIsBright #GoBeavers
