Volunteers are needed for the Boo Bash on October 24. We are looking for about 15 volunteers (parents or high school students) to help run the trunks and to run the games inside. The more volunteers we have, the more games we can have! If you are interested and available, please contact the PTA at drydenpta25@gmail.com. @TMobile @drydencardinals #FN5GL #Sweepstakes

Our first Boo Gram sale was a success! We sold about 50 boos! We did have a lot of questions from kids not knowing what they were but they were super interested! We are excited to sell the next 2 Fridays! Is your child in our early childhood program and not at school on Fridays? Just get a hold of Dr. Morley and she'll help you out. #proudcardinal

According to the CDC kids should stay home if they have any of the following symptoms:
Fever: a temperature of 100.4° F or higher
Cough: A persistent or severe cough
Sore throat: Pain when swallowing
Vomiting: Two or more episodes in the past 24 hours
Diarrhea: Three or more loose stools in the past 24 hours
Headache: A severe or persistent headache
Muscle aches: Widespread body aches
Fatigue: Feeling unusually tired or weak
Rash: A new or unexplained rash

Additionally, keep your child home if:
They have a contagious illness such as the flu
They have a chronic condition that makes them more susceptible to infections
There is a high level of illness in their classroom

Your child can return when:
They are fever free for 24 hours with no fever reducing medications
Other symptoms improve over time

When in doubt, consult your healthcare provider. Remember it is important to prioritize your child’s health and the safety of others by keeping them home when they are sick. #drydenattendancematters #strivefor5 #healthykids #attendance tips @TMobile @drydencardinals #FN5GL #Sweepstakes #proudcardinal
