Good afternoon DCSD families,
This announcement is to make you aware of the developing partnership between the Dryden Town Historical Society (DTHS) and the Dryden Central School District (DCSD). We have been exploring ways to better support one another’s missions, with an overarching goal of helping students cultivate a stronger sense of place by engaging with local and regional history in meaningful ways.
Please visit the following link for more information about the DTHS and to access the Google Form to share your ideas for this partnership: https://www.dryden.k12.ny.us/documents/about-us/announcements/dcsd-dths-partnership/27249147
Take care of yourself. Take care of each other. Always…#LionPride.
