Walk to School Day, October 2

Come meet Dryden teachers and staff and walk to school with them! They will be wearing Dryden spirit wear and ID badges so you can easily spot them. We hope to see you there! A map of the meeting locations and walking routes is attached below.


Rain is currently in the forecast, so bring your umbrellas! We typically keep our Walk to School date, even when it's raining. This is an optional activity and it is okay if you choose not to participate. If there is a heavy downpour, thunder or lightning, we will reschedule to Friday, October 4.
