Thank You for Participating in Hook-A-Book!
Thanks to your participation, $1,115 was raised for the Dryden LMC. This money will be used to purchase new books for the "900's" section of the LMC. Our students will have many new biographies as well as history and geography books to enjoy!
Thank You, Arlington Heights Mobil!
Dryden was recently awarded $500 by Arlington Heights Mobil Gas Station. This grant is to be used for materials and activities to engage students enriching Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) learning experiences. We greatly appreciate the support and generosity from this local business!
Sing Along and Red, White & Blue Day, September 9
Everyone is invited to wear red, white and blue to Dryden on Friday, September 9 in honor of 9/11 National Day of Service & Remembrance. Music teacher, Mr. Deptula, will lead us in a Sing Along by the flagpole, from 8:30 - 8:50 am. We will use this day at Dryden to remember and thank service workers and first responders as well as focus on doing good deeds for others.
From the Health Office
The state of Illinois requires that all kindergarten and new students provide a completed physical and eye exam form to the school. Please send these completed required forms to our school nurse, Miranda Rixon. Completed forms may be emailed to School Nurse Miranda Rixon or sent to school with your student. These health forms are due by October 15. Please email mrixon@sd25.org or call the school at 847-398-4280 to contact Mrs. Rixon.
