Merry & Bright


Our students have been up to so many great things at Dryden! 
They make the dark winter days merry and bright!

I loved watching our first grade students tag key details in the books they were reading and then share these highlights with their peers and teacher. 


Fifth grade students have using the design-thinking process to create solutions to problems related to Mars exploration. The came up with great ideas!
A special board game to help astronauts maintain positive mental health on their long journey

A water purification system

A way to turn Mars dust into fuel for the rocket ship


Second grade students shared their landmark research with parent and teacher visitors. Their presentations were impressive!


Our multiage, second and third grade students also participated in the Cardboard Challenge this week and utilized the design-thinking process. They created many fun, interactive toys and games out of some cardboard and tape. The students and staff really enjoyed checking out and trying out all the creative contraptions!


Slide Tech Virtual Reality
Dinosaur Bowling
 Our 5th grade band shined bright at their first-ever concert performance! Their sweet music made the audience feel so merry!

Our staff sure knows how to stay merry and bright during an often hectic time of year! This holiday sweater duo made us laugh and smile!

This group of fifth graders really understands what this holiday season is all about. They have been working very hard to coordinate a toy drive to benefit Lurie's Children's Hospital that will take place in the coming week. We are so proud of their leadership and caring efforts!
