DRYDEN COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

5th grade student library board “Book Fairies” were working hard today distributing take-home books to K-2 students. As a part of Project ‘Read At-Home’, K-2 students get to choose 3 decodable books to practice all week long. Each Friday, the books are returned and swapped out for new ones. Practice makes permanent! #proudcardinal

Full-circle moment 💫

At yesterday’s Fine Arts Festival, former Drama Kid Delaney (Hull) McNulty returned to celebrate Ms. Czerwinski’s final show. In a surprise twist, current Drama Kid Charlee Bowerson turned out to be the same kindergartener Delaney walked with in the 2018 Memorial Day Parade!

See their recreated photo—eight years later and still sharing the spotlight ❤️🎭
