Wyatt Griggs
by Claire Wright
Wyatt Griggs has been a student at Dryden for six years and is currently in 8th grade. While he’s not involved in any sports or clubs, he enjoys cooking as a hobby and loves spending his free time playing video games. His favorite thing about Dryden is how nice the teachers can be. Wyatt’s dream career is simply having "an okay paying job," and when he thinks about high school, he looks forward to trying his best to pass. Outside of school, Wyatt is grateful for his loving parents, who he cares for deeply.
