DRYDEN COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

The Student Library Board would like to THANK everyone who supported our fall Scholastic Book Fair! It was extremely successful and will allow us to add some new books and items to our library. #growingreaders #proudcardinal

The Student Library Board members were assigned their shelves today that they will keep tidy and alphabetically organized. #proudcardinal #growingreaders

Congratulations to our Super Savers! These lucky students made a deposit for our LEAF deposit day, were chosen from a random draw, and earned a prize! #proudcardinal

Strive for 5 Mythbusting! MYTH - Excused absences don't count. FACT: Whether excused or unexcused, missed time means lost learning and weaker routines. Both count toward attendance totals. #drydenelementaryattendance #strivefor5 #planahead #stayontrack #proudcardinal

Good luck to the Imlay City Boys Tennis team as they compete at the MHSAA Division 4 state finals! Best wishes from your #proudcardinal neighbors.

Volunteers are needed for the Boo Bash on October 24. We are looking for about 15 volunteers (parents or high school students) to help run the trunks and to run the games inside. The more volunteers we have, the more games we can have! If you are interested and available, please contact the PTA at drydenpta25@gmail.com. @TMobile @drydencardinals #FN5GL #Sweepstakes
