Dear Beaverton Elementary School Families, Please join us in honoring all of the veterans and service members from our community that have served or are serving in our Armed Forces. We will be honoring these individuals with an assembly on Friday, November 11th, at 9:30am at the Beaverton Elementary School. A light reception will also be provided for our community military service members beforehand from 9:00am-9:25am. Please let your veteran(s) know that we would be honored if they would attend our assembly. The students at Beaverton Elementary School are all involved in the assembly in some capacity. Whether they are creating patriotic artwork, singing, acting, creating “Thank You” cards, submitting videos, speaking, or greeting our special community members when they arrive, our BEAVER PRIDE is focused on our amazing local heroes. Visiting veterans may choose to be in or out of uniform (past or present) for this special event. The students will learn so much through the presentation of uniforms in the building. We are just delighted to share the morning with such incredible people!

BEAVERTON SCHOOLS PRESENTS...COMMITMENT TO EGGCELLENCE - You take an egg. You build a shelter around it. You drop it from the highest point on campus. And you see if it survived.

NICE NIGHT: Smiles were abundant Friday night as we honored our veterans, enjoyed a (temporary) return to autumn temperatures, unfurled a really big flag, and won a football game. #ThankYouVeterans #BeavertonForever

AN UNBEATABLE COMBINATION: When you mix first-graders, firetrucks and highly pressurized water, you've pulled together the formula for a great time. That's what was up this morning at BES as Phil Andrist and Ryan Tworek of the Beaverton Fire Department spoke to students about fire safety and the life and career of a firefighter. Then the kids stepped outside to give the big rig's fire hose a try. #FireSafety #GoBeavers

FREE BOOKS! GET YOUR FREE BOOKS HERE! We're retiring some of our older reference books from the library. If you like to learn or read, that's good news for you. Between now and next Friday (Oct. 21), stop by the BJSHS Media Center during school hours and take any and all of these books that you wish. A bargain at twice the price.

"They needed me. And I needed them." BEAVERTON SCHOOLS PRESENTS...ONE LAST LESSON: As her career draws to a close, Holly Smith opens up about the job, reaching today's kids, and that graduation speech. A longform interview that hits hard in all the right ways. Go to: www.bit.ly/3SQH0mZ #BeavertonForever #GoBeavers

THE BIG RED ROUNDUP: Beaverton was awash in HOCO mojo all last week, and you probably think you've seen every possible piece of Spirit Week content available to humankind. WRONG! There's lots more. Check out our HOCO Roundup at www.bit.ly/3yzrYdh for the definitive collection.

ROYALTY: BJSHS crowned its Homecoming Queen and King at today's assembly: Lillyan Herren-Howard and Logan Love. Congratulations to the entire court and the whole Beaverton Schools student body for a most excellent Spirit Week. (And it's not over yet.) #GoBeavers

“We will Rock You!” Third and fourth grade STEM students placed rock with QR codes around the football fields tonight. Look for them by the fence, on the bleachers, and near the ticket booth. Go Beavers!

Mrs. Revis' Class learned about fire safety with Firefighter Phil and Firefighter Ryan.

LUNCHTIME SERENADE: Beaver Pride was campus-wide today as the BJSHS Band took it down the street at lunch, firing up the youngsters at BES with the best song ever written. Check it out at https://bit.ly/3yzrYdh. #HOCO22 #GoBeavers

WE'VE (STILL) GOT SPIRIT: Day three of Spirit Week was flat-out strong. BJSHS students mixed styles with Country vs. Country Club Day, while their BES counterparts showed their true colors with Shirt/Jersey Day. Lots more pix and all your HOCO INFO at https://bit.ly/3yzrYdh.

MAKE IT COUNT: BES home rooms are holding an attendance competition Wednesday. The class with the highest percentage of students in attendance for the entire day wins a pizza party - a tasty motivation to show up, to be sure. #GoPizza #GoBeavers
