Wrapping Up a Wonderful School Year!

Our fifth grade students did an outstanding job taking the initiative to spruce up the Butterfly Garden in the courtyard this month! They are proof that "many hands make light work". We really appreciate their initiative and positive leadership at Dryden. We wish them all the best as they move on to middle school and hope they will come back to visit!

What an awesome Field Day! We are incredibly grateful for the efforts of PE teacher Mr. Gries, PTA chairs Mrs. Klasen and Mrs. Mertes, and the 120 parent volunteers who made this day so much fun for our students! It is truly wonderful to have the school community come together for this culminating celebration for the school year!
 






As we head into summer break, I'll be heading off to Japan with 30 other educators from across the United States for the International Educators to Japan program. I'll be visiting Tokyo, Hiroshima and Kyoto to learn about Japanese schools and culture. You can join me on this adventure as I share what I learn on this blog throughout the summer. 

Wishing you a safe and happy summer! 
Thank you for a great school year!
