Compass Academy Network (CAN) is excited to invite area middle school students and aspiring comic book authors/illustrators to join them for Comics, Coca, & Candy Cane’s on Saturday, December 6!
Join them as they welcome award-winning author, illustrator, and comic artist Grant Snider to Missouri Southern State University in Joplin.
Grant is an adult and children’s author and is known for Incidental Comics and several of his books including Poetry Comics, Thinking about Thinking, and many more. He is a USA Today Bestseller and 2025 NEA Read Across America Selection just to name a few of his accolades.
Celebrate the season with Compass Academy Network and join us for an inspiring and interactive afternoon as Grant shares his creative process, leads a hands-on comic art workshop, answers questions, and signs copies of his latest book. Each middle school student guest will receive a free copy to take home!
This holiday celebration is for current CAN students, 5th–8th graders, and their families or guests. If you are a current CAN student, bring a friend and win! Learn more about what CAN is all about. The event will feature festive treats, a hot cocoa bar, activities, Gingerbread House making contest, photo booth, and more! Students that attend will have a chance to win a drone and other prizes!
RSVPs are required, and the deadline for registration has been extended. Sign up here.
