$2500 ABC/25 Membership Grant Opportunity for Dryden
Dryden is just 10 memberships short of achieving our $2500 membership grant!

We hope to continue bringing quality resources to our school with this generous grant. Please help us get the word out and consider joining at https://abc25.org/donate/. Thank you!

BIG Ask Fundraiser Recap - THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much for your support during our annual fundraiser. We would have been excited to reach our goal of raising $7000, but instead we are ECSTATIC to report that we, the Dryden community, raised $10,385! With your incredibly generous donations, we are going to be able to continue our current programs, and we also are looking forward to adding new opportunities for Dryden's families. It is such a gift to have our children in a school where the staff and families are so committed to each child's elementary experience.
Enjoy the "Splish", a weekly video of highlights from our week at Dryden!
