COVID-19 may have thrown a wrench in another school year, but Dryden High School students have tried to make the best of it.
Members of the DHS Student Council were guests at the Rotary Club of Dryden’s virtual meeting Wednesday talk about boosting school spirit, student morale, challenges of online learning, staying connected with friends and other projects.
“COVID-19 has had a large impact on the number of clubs and activities running at DHS this year, there are only two official clubs running, student council and the drama club,” said Grade 11 Student Council Member Alison Griffiths. “Student Council hasn’t been able to do the usual fundraisers and activities this year, so we’ve had to get creative. We’ve put on a number of successful spirit weeks with all kinds of events, including a Halloween costume contest, Christmas door decorating, Snowball 2.0, Match Makers and candy grams, which was our major fundraiser for the year.”

We found a green rock with brown stripes through it in the house or cellar, I can t recall. It s hard to even remember being 25 years old. The rock came into my life and I thought it was interesting. It is about 6 by 4 inches and about 4 inches thick irregularly shaped, which is the perfect shape for a rock. I sat it on the table in the kitchen because everyone came in the kitchen and I thought someone would see the rock and say what kind of rock it was. No one paid much attention to it, so I moved it to a coffee table in the living room where it didn t get any attention. But over time it just became a part of the décor, which was somewhere between thrift store and grandma s attic, and it became a fix
