January's theme was optimism, and these students have truly exemplified the qualities of positive and forward-thinking individuals. Their ability to maintain a hopeful and constructive attitude, even in challenging situations, has positively impacted not only their peers but also the entire school community. Whether through their academic work, their interactions with others, or their involvement in extracurricular activities, they have consistently shown an uplifting and inspiring spirit.

Their resilience, dedication, and positive energy set a wonderful example for all of us. It is students like these who help to make our school a better place for everyone.

Hi Dryden Family,

I want to make sure my students have exactly what they need to succeed, so I've created a project through DonorsChoose, the nonprofit classroom funding site for public school teachers. Early contributions are critical, and any amount helps. Thank you so much for taking a look and considering a donation. I am so excited to bring this project to life! Thank you for considering a gift to my class!

Mr. Daryl Anderson, Dryden High School Teacher

Stay updated on our progress with funds from the bond passed in May 2023 by using this checklist! We appreciate your continued support of our students, our schools, and our community.
