DRYDEN COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

Dress up days this week. #proudcardinal

In Health class, oh what a sight to be seen!
They cooked with the Grinch—yes, the green one so mean!

They chopped and they mixed with a whirr and a zip,
Fresh tomatoes and peppers went flip-flop and flip!

With Magic Bullet blenders they buzzed and they whirled,
Making salsa so tasty it dazzled the world!

So healthy, so zesty, so festive and grand—
Who knew learning nutrition could be this much fun, hand in hand? 🌶️🎄

The #proudcardinal Creative Writing Club met at the Pine House for a holiday celebration last night. Books were exchanged, laughter was heard, food was devoured...a great time was had by all!

Congratulations to #proudcardinal senior Cara Prusakiewicz for being accepted to Michigan State University! #ReachHigher #BetterMakeRoom #CollegeBoundMI #SixtyBy30

#proudcardinal alumni Jade Insley (Dryden High School Class of 2025), Hope Wilcox ('24), Marty Barker ('23), Hilary Young ('22), and Jack Kaplan ('21, MSU '25) held a real conversation with the Senior Seminar class today about what life was like after high school graduation, in college, and in the work force. We were so happy to see you! Welcome home!
