==Why It's Called Beaverton== |
|||
Becton Regional High School has always been known as "Becton" or "Henry P." but a short while ago, that changed. In late December of the year 2006, it was discovered that two rabid Canadian Beavers had made their home on a grassy, tree covered patch of land near the fence of the school. When the two animals were discovered, TYCO was called and they were removed. The beavers went calmly and no one was injured durring the relocation process. The beavers apparently made their way from the Meadowlands to the school in the cold, December month. Because of it's confrontation with the two rabid Canadian Beavers, Becton Regional High School is lovingly referred to as "Beaverton." |
