Important Dates:
4/2 Donuts With a Grown Up (cancelled) but enjoy a sweet treat at home with your favorite grown up!

If you’d like to participate in our Dryden Community’s Neighborhood Window Walk/Bike/Drive, all you need to do is place the item of the day in your window or on your door. Get as creative as you like, but nothing fancy required – just the desire to connect, safely from afar, with our Dryden community.
Here’s the schedule:
March 29th: Flowers or bugs
April 1: Funny lawn displays (decorate your lawn white those old flamingos, lawn chairs, Halloween decor, whatever you’ve got!)
April 4: Easter Eggs or Bunnies
Congratulations to Mikayla C, who is one of 24 (out of 382 entries!) artists advancing to the National Level of the PTA Reflections Competition. Her story, “The Squirrel Who Goes Fishing” will be Illinois’s entry for Primary Division in Literature.
The PTA sponsored Movie Night scheduled for April 9th has been cancelled. Instead, enjoy a movie at home with your family!

Attached you will find information regarding the PTA and our partnership with District 25. Please read!
Originally, Donuts With a Grown Up was scheduled for Thursday, April 2, and Movie Night was scheduled for April 9. In response to the recent Coronavirus concerns, Dryden Elementary PTA is following the direction of both the Arlington Heights Council of PTAs and District 25 and cancelling activities that host more than 250 people. We are hoping to reschedule these events later in the school year. In the meantime, we hope you can enjoy a sweet treat and movie with your families at home!
We are collecting new and used soccer equipment for kids participating in ESCO’s community outreach soccer programs. The youth in these programs do not have the means to play organized soccer let alone afford the necessary equipment. ITEMS NEEDED: Soccer equipment for kids in grades 2-5 (soccer cleats, shin guards, and size 4 soccer balls). ESCO is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Arlington Heights. For more information about ESCO visit http://www.elitesoccercommunity.org or follow on Facebook and Instagram @SupportESCO.
We are excited to announce that Tennis Club is coming to Dryden thanks to our PTA! If your child would like to participate (no experience or equipment needed!), be on the look out for a time-stamped sign up form on Monday, March 16th at 9 a.m. Tennis Club will take place on Mondays starting April 6 during lunch recess. There is limited space for Tennis Club, so there will only be 20 spots for each lunch recess. The PTA looks forward to sharing this wonderful sport with your children! If you have any questions, please reach out to Stacey Nunez at snunez77@comcast.net.
