DRYDEN COMMUNITY SCHOOLS

On their final evening, #proudcardinal DC travelers visited artwork in town, the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool (under construction), and the Vietnam & Korean War Memorials.

Mrs. Russell’s Kindergartners and Ms. Marsh’s third graders got together for book buddies today to celebrate third grade finishing their M-STEP testing this week! #proudcardinal

From first steps in the classroom to walking across the graduation stage ❤️🖤 Our educators are there every step of the way. As we close out Teacher Appreciation Week, we celebrate all of the Cardinals who make a lasting impact on our students and our community. You are the heart of Dryden.

Mrs. Birkett's 5th graders are having a great time at Camp Tamarack. They built a shelter, tried to make a fire, rock climbed, zip lined, and used a compass to find locations to learn some trivia about MI. #proudcardinal

Every student’s path looks different—and that’s exactly why these educators matter so much ❤️🖤 Today, we recognize our Student Support Stars across the district. They meet our #proudcardinal students where they are, help them grow, and make sure no one is left behind.
