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.

How does a fallen tree turn into a nurse log? Students at Dishman-McGinnis explore live organisms right in the classroom, noticing, wondering, and modeling how fallen trees help new life grow.

OpenSciEd invites curiosity, conversation, and creativity, while helping kids see the world like scientists.
