every child. one voice.
The Dryden PTA is launching a brand new way of communicating with the Dryden Community with a monthly newsletter! Throughout each month of the school year, we typically have several activities going on and we want to make sure you don’t miss out on any of them! Plus, this is a great way to get involved if you’ve ever wanted to volunteer.
Please click on the link below and enter your information to receive our monthly newsletter. We are SO excited to be able to keep in touch with you each month.
The PTA is sponsoring many events in the months of May and June. Below is a list and summary of all the fun that is coming to Dryden!
Teacher Appreciation Week, May 2-6
PTA General Meeting, May 12, 7:00pm in the LMC

Did you know that two out of three children in under-served communities do not have any books of their own at home? Help us change this by donating books to Bernie’s Book Bank. The week of April 4th – April 8th, Dryden students will be collecting new and gently used books to donate to Bernie’s. Bernie’s Book Bank helps children build their own home libraries filled with quality books to become better readers. Our goal is for the Dryden community to donate 1,500 new and gently used fiction and recent nonfiction books! Please read on for the guidelines for donating used books. If you have any questions, please email taniarphillips@gmail.com.
