Boys & Bow Ties meets once a week with Mr. Wishard after school to learn lessons related to positive language, etiquette, manners, teamwork, and leading by example in school and in the community. They wear their dress shirts and bow ties each Wednesday and complete a writing assignment in their journal. The students have learned about hurtful words and the power of positive language. Next week Jos. A. Bank is coming to give the history of the necktie and students will learn and practice tying different types of knots.
