Beverly Cleary School

Finally, it’s Super Bowl Weekend. I’m looking forward to the Usher halftime show and have my fingers crossed for Confessions Part II being on the list of songs sung!

Have a great weekend!

We are excited to announce a new addition to Team BCS! Please welcome Ryan Stimmel as our second Middle School PE teacher. Thanks to the addition of Mr. Stimmel, we are able to add two classes to quarter 3, Yoga & Competitive Sports! Get to know Mr. Stimmel below.

Ryan received his B.A. in Sociology from Texas A&M University and is currently working towards a Master's in Counseling. He has 6 years of teaching experience in Texas Public Schools split between bilingual primary classrooms and support. Before that he worked as an educator abroad at NGOs in Guatemala and since then he has contracted to design and deliver various day camp style STEAM type programs in Austin and led international educational programs to Cuba. He taught private pod school during the 2020-2021 school year then moved to Portland in 2022 where he has been working as a full time substitute teacher and Outdoor School instructor.

Health and fitness have always been his primary hobbies and physical education an occasional part time job. His interests in this space include optimizing rest, stress, nutrition and exercise to enable his strength and stability training, martial arts practices, bicycle commuting and recreational hiking. As a professional in the fitness space he's taught just about every type of group exercise class you can think of and worked as a personal trainer.

He's thrilled to be joining the Beverly Cleary School community and can't wait to get to work with all of you!

The school cafeteria is running low on metal spoons again. The Green Team is asking for donations to resupply the cafeteria so we don't have to use plastic spoons instead. Please drop them by the office if you are able to help! Thank you so much!!
