Today, Dryden Community Schools recognizes Constitution Day and the document that continues to serve as the foundation of our nation.

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

Constitution Day gives our students an opportunity to learn more about the history, principles, rights, and responsibilities established through the U.S. Constitution.

We are proud to help our Cardinals understand the importance of civic knowledge and the role each generation plays in carrying these ideals forward.

Happy Constitution Day from Dryden Community Schools!
