Dear Neighbors
The Calendar Crew hopes that you are planning to get out of your home this weekend. There are a lot of terrific activity choices, most free of charge. Saturday, in particular, is packed with great choices. Starting in the early AM is the free food bank at Beaver Creek School followed by the last hike of the year led by the Beaver Creek Trails Coalition.
The 2
nd
Saturday Flea Market is open at the Honey Hole and the historic Rock School is open on the Beaver Creek School campus. The Beaver Creek Adult Center pot luck starts at 5 PM. A little out of town, there is a Naloxone training class with kit provided held at the Cottonwood Library and Fort Verde is open in the evening for a free candle light tour.
Christmas House is open today through Saturday. Thank you to our locals who have donated items and to those who purchase them. All proceeds are going toward making a good Christmas for families and their children.
This evening, Thursday, is the first meeting of a new single women's group at the Beaver Creek Adult Center for connecting, sharing and celebrating life. Two beautiful cantatas are scheduled; Friday evening at Montezuma Chapel and Sunday morning at Grace Community Lutheran Church. On Monday, the Rimrockers are having their Christmas lunch and the Beaver Creek Community Association and Beaver Creek School Board are holding their regular meetings. On Tuesday the Lake Montezuma Women's Civic Club is having their Christmas meeting, the Montezuma Rimrock Fire Auxiliary meets, and there will be a Blue Christmas Service at Montezuma Chapel.
Rasks' Auto Service is again collecting nonperishable food donations which will be contributed to our local food bank. The first load has been delivered. More contributions would be welcomed!!
On another note, sometimes we don't always appreciate the efforts of Beaver Creek School. Margee Cowan has collected school interviews which let us know some things that school personnel are grateful for.
Ready to enjoy more of the holiday season,

The Good Things Happening at Beaver Creek School
From Principal Katrina Sacco: 
- Our Veterans Day concert showcased our students' talents and hard work, all classes did an excellent job!
- Our students also honored veterans and developed a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made by others who ensure safety and security to all U.S. citizens.
- Mrs. Guth was honored in the Bugle as a remarkable teacher. She is a wonderful asset to our school, and this recognition was a great tribute to her work.
- Mrs. Cowan, Mrs. Martinez, Mrs. Wheeler, Mr. Worden and myself met with Pastor Ken Miller to discuss how they can support our school. They are working with us to bring more supplies and books to our classrooms, and we are very grateful!
- Our November staff training focused on the effective use of the data we receive from NWEA's MAP Growth assessment.
- We learned how to use it to make meaningful improvements in our grouping and instruction.
- Our new instructional media program, Moby Max, is gaining in popularity around campus and it is helping teachers differentiate instruction to meet the diverse needs of all students.
- Our crew welcomes Mrs. Laura Bleak as a new fifth grade paraprofessional. She comes to us with a great passion for improving the lives of children and we are delighted to have her.
- The American Legion donated new flags for our campus, and John Maddox spoke to our students about the symbolism and importance of the flags.
- This was a great way to lead into our Veterans Day education.
From Margee Cowan, College & Career Readiness:
- The field trip to the Junior Achievement Center in Tempe was once again a success for the 7th graders in Biztown.
- This is truly life-changing as students learn how to maneuver through life in the simulation given to them.
From Allie Wheeler, Athletics, Art and the 21st Century Learning Program
- Our volleyball team finished the season first in the league and took second at the league tournament.
- This allowed them to go to small school state volleyball tournament, where they placed 4th against the best small schools in northern Arizona.
- This is the first time for Beaver Creek since 2004. Shelly Warfield was awarded first-team all-tournament and Makela Martinez was awarded second-team all-tournament at the small state tournament.
- The 21st Century Tutoring has begun, we are serving about 40 students during this time.
- Our focus is on math and reading instructional interventions.
- Art: 6 and 7 grade finished their interpretation of Van Gough's sunflowers. They turned out beautiful.
From Superintendent Karin Ward:
- As we count our blessings this Thanksgiving, for me this school district and every department is blessing.
- Patricia Garitson the service manager has a great staff focused on feeding students well-balanced meals.
- Diana Iverson, and her crew balances a spotless campus (the Yavapai Health department raves about it at the annual inspection each year), and transporting students safely on the buses to and from school and on trips.
- Katrina Sacco and her school team work to make sure each student has a quality education that meets his or her own needs.
- The staff uses data to drive teaching and learning decisions.
- The office staff under the direction of Sharon Brooks continues to take care of everything from band aids to payroll.
- We are appreciative of the community for the continued support to our school and children.
- We hope people remember Beaver Creek School during tax credit season.
