Thinking Globally, Acting Locally


For the past month, over 80 students and 20 parent volunteers have been participating in the PTA Book Clubs during the lunch recess hour.


Our LMC director, Mrs. O'Kelly, provided a variety of fantasy, realistic fiction, humorous, mystery and non-fiction books for the students to read. 


Each book related to the theme of caring for our environment and caring for our earth. 


Parent volunteers led students in reading, discussing, writing and drawing in response to reading these stories. 


This has been a fun and engaging way for students to connect and share their love of reading! 


We are truly grateful for this opportunity to read and talk about books!


To culminate and celebrate Book Club participation, PTA brought the Science Alliance to Dryden School. 


All students got to enjoy the presentation "World Works". 


Throughout the presentation, Mr. Steve helped us learn about many ways we can think globally but act locally to help take care of our environment by reducing, reusing and recycling.


We are very proud of all of our student volunteers! 


By caring for our environment and one another on a local level, we are helping to make the world a better place. We are "thinking globally and acting locally" at Dryden! Hooray!
