New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Jarrett J. Krosoczka visited Dishman McGinnis and McNeill Elementary Schools today! His books include the graphic novel series, Lunch Lady, the Platypus Police Squad series, Punk Farm, and he also contributed to the Star Wars: Jedi Academy series.

At both schools, he shared his inspirations for writing and creating art through his life, such as the first book he wrote as a third grader. He talked to students about continuing to learn throughout life and not giving up. The time ended with questions from students and Krosoczka drawing a personalized “Lunch Lady” for each school.

A big THANKS to the Warren County Public Library for this great opportunity!

Dishman-McGinnis celebrated the Boys to Men Tie Ceremony on January 22nd. Boys to Men empowers students to grow into positive, productive members of the future workforce, focusing on three key values: respect, commitment, and integrity. Tie colors are earned based on academic standing and the ability to recite the Boys to Men Creed.

Boys to Men Alum and BGHS Student Government President Cayden Dunn was the keynote speaker at the ceremony.

Thanks to all who made this event special: teachers, mentors, families, and community supporters.
