Every time I walk around our school I find so much inspiration. The children's work below was hanging on a wall in our hallway. The messages were so powerful! When I talked to the teacher about this, I learned that this activity was a very meaningful springboard for students to identify areas of personal interest that they could pursue more deeply during their writing and research time. I can't wait to see where they go with their ideas! I love that they are learning to think globally in early elementary school!
Many of you know and adore our wonderful crossing guard, Mr. Poteracki! His positive, caring attitude inspires me every time I see him. This past Friday was National School Crossing Guard Day. It was a great day to thank him for his work and dedication in helping our students safely get to and from school!
Our students are students are working together to make things better at Dryden, too!
This awesome Tidy Up Team volunteered their time during lunch recess to organize our Lost and Found.
Our students are making the world a better place in big ways and small ways. Our Student Environmental Committee collects worn-out and broken markers, crayons and highlighters. They also campaigning for a "Less Trash Bash" that will take place during the lunch hour on February 21. Their goal is to create half the amount of trash than what is normally created (6 garbage cans instead of 12). I'm so proud of their efforts!
Sharing our love of reading with one another is one of the things I find most inspiring about our school. Reading opens up our minds to whole new worlds of adventures, ideas, and possibilities. Listening to these students proudly share their word art about the books they recently read was such an uplifting part of my day.
As you can see, I'm constantly inspired by how our students and staff are taking the initiative to make the world a better place in so many wonderful ways!!
