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

JUST RIGHT: First-graders at BES got a fun, hands-on look at basic health care 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
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
SHOWING UP: Beaverton Schools invites you to join us for the next round of true community dialogue at the I+E community forum series, set for Thursday, Feb. 27 at 5:30 p.m. at the BJSHS Media Center. Though the topic of the evening will be student survey data, we'll also share some other important info and leave plenty of time for Q & A. We will also have childcare available so parents may focus on the meeting. Please let us know you're attending by scanning the code or visiting bit.ly/4hlgQ7G. You can also use the form to offer topics, concerns or questions. #SuccessStartsByShowingUp
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
Attention! The Blizzard Bash for Saturday 2/15 is ON! Yes, we know there may be snow, but we encourage you to make the best decision for your student to get them to the event safely, which is being held from 8-10 pm. It's $5 at the door and we hope to see you there for a fun night! Drive safely Beavers!
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN: One of our favorite traditions at BJSHS is revealing the Top Ten graduates. This year, we enlisted the help of some special friends to unveil their names. Thanks to them, and congratulations to the Class of '25. See the video at bit.ly/4jRTubN. #BeavertonAlways
THE STARS ALIGN: It's a new month, so that must mean it's time to pay tribute to the outstanding students from last month.

THAT'S A LOTTA COPS: You may have noticed quite a few police vehicles parked at BJSHS this afternoon; it was for a great reason. BJSHS was the site for a regional meeting of all the School Resource Officers from schools in Gladwin and Clare Counties. Officers took the opportunity to discuss critical issues in school safety and security, and Beaverton was happy to play host. #SafeandSecure
WHERE THE COURT AND THE CLASSROOM COLLIDE: Calling all Beaverton teachers, past and present, from fresh-faced newbies to sage retirees. Join us Tuesday, Feb, 11 at 6 p.m. at the boys basketball games versus Meridian for Teacher Appreciation Night.

Solid fun on a winter's night. #GoBeavers

Congrats and #GoBeavers.
BAD NEWS/GOOD NEWS: Maybe you missed our first I+E Community Forum Thursday night, which was very well-attended and offered a great exchange of information and ideas among folks who love our kids and our school.

MAKE IT, TAKE IT: The BHS chapter of the Business Professionals of America's next fundraiser is something a little different: Its members are hosting a Make-'n-Take Charcuterie Board event Sat., Feb. 8 at 1:30 p.m. at the BAC. You can purchase tickets at $60 each from any BPA member or by contacting Jill Wagner at jwagner@beavertonschools.net. You won't want to miss this unique (and worthwhile) event.
THAT'S OUR DAN: The accolades continue to pour in for former BHS Softball Coach Dan Whitmer, who was lauded by peers and admirers Friday night at his induction into the Michigan High School Softball Coaches Association Hall of Fame after a standout career of three decades plus. It was a well-deserved honor for Whitmer, a Beaverton Athletics Hall of Famer and all-around excellent human being. Congrats, Dan, and #GoBeavers.
Mrs. Sprague's science class was shocked to learn about static electricity in class today! We got out the Van de Graaff generator to see who was brave. A good time was had by all! Have a great weekend!
