KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION – Volunteers Needed!
On Kindergarten Registration Day (January 23, 2019), the PTA assists the Dryden School administrative assistants. If you can donate some of your time to assist Mrs. Sprenger on this date, please contact the school office.
The PTA Book Club begins on Wednesday, February 6th. The club will run every lunchtime in February, and this year’s theme is STEM. If your child is interested in participating, please complete the registration form (via the links below) by January 30th. Students registered after January 30th may have to provide their own copy of the book.
There is no cost to the students for this program. Book Clubbers will discuss the book each week with their peers using the Literature Circle Method. Participating students will receive the chosen book from the Dryden PTA!
