#SeniorLitFest

Bengal Senior English classes celebrated the start of Spring Break & lifelong reading in one exciting event when they had a special visit from OFHS graduates & authors Bridget Morrissey & Ian Ryan.

Bridget, who lives in sunny LA & jumps at every chance to visit Oak Forest, has written 4 adult novels & 3 YA books; Ian, who's writing life started in high school & hasn't stopped, has contributed to poetry & fiction collections, writes sports pieces, has published 1 book of short stories, & 2 books of poetry.

Our seniors had a very memorable day not only being part of a Q & A w/Bridget & Ian, but they took part in numerous activities & received signed copies all while listening to the music of Mr. Chambers & Mrs. Cotrano (a BIG THANKS to everyone that made this special event happen!)

Bridget Morrissey & Ian Ryan, Bengal Nation thanks you for your stories & inspiration!
