PTA April Events Cancellations:
In line with school closings, the PTA has sadly cancelled all events through the end of the month of April and will unlikely be able to reschedule. We look forward to bringing everything back next year!
Plant Sale
In order to adhere to social distancing suggestions and to keep our community safe, with heavy hearts, we have cancelled this year's plant sale. But if you do wish to purchase plants on your own, we suggest you consider Zeldenrust Farms where we source the plants from.
Time to Order your YEARBOOKS!
It's officially March, which means it's almost the April deadline to order your child's Dryden 2019-2020 Yearbook! Go to www.treering.com/validate and enter in Dryden's code (1014123635244163) to order.
If you need help customizing pages for your child's book, please contact us at Drydenelementaryyearbook@gmail.com.
ABC 25 Get Burbed Race Update
Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the unique impact and uncertainty it continues to pose to our community, we have made the decision, with the support of Superintendent Dr. Lori Bein, to cancel the ABC/25 Get Burbed Challenge. This was a difficult decision to make but the safety and well-being of our race participants, volunteers, staff, and spectators is always a top priority.
The ABC/25 Foundation still needs your support in order to fully fund teacher grants in the upcoming school year. There are three ways you can still help. Every dollar earned goes directly back into our schools to bring students projects and programs that foster innovation and creativity.
1) Register as a virtual runner and run/walk your own 5K or 1 Mile on April 25, 2020! Post a picture on Twitter and tag ABC/25 Get Burbed Challenge to show your support! Register here!
2) Statefarm Agent, Jennifer Burnidge, will make a $10 donation to the ABC/25 Foundation for every person who completes an insurance quote in the month of April. When calling in for a quote, be sure to mention Quotes for Good and the ABC/25 Foundation for the quote to qualify. Call today! (847) 253-5678
3) Make a donation directly to the Foundation. All donations are tax deductible. Click here to donate.
We are already looking forward to the 2021 ABC/25 Get Burbed Challenge. Event updates and information are available at abc25challlenge.org and through social media on Facebook, TwitterFacebook and Instagram.
In the meantime, we encourage all of our participants, volunteers, event staff, partners and vendors to keep themselves and their loved ones safe and healthy during these unprecedented times.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
