Mr. Walsh’s grade 9 science class were the winners of the “Block A challenge” for bottled water free day.  Mr. Walsh’s class showed their commitment to the environment with 24 of 25 students using refillable water bottles.   Coming in second place was Mrs. Tremonti’s class, with 19 of 20 students using refillable water bottles.

The “Bottled Water Free Day” succeeded in raising environmental consciousness about single-use water bottle waste.

Mr. Darling’s Environmental Science class was very excited with the response they received and would like for you to treat every day as if it were bottled water free day.

Semester 1 final report cards were distributed to home room classes today. Students without a block A class can pick up their report cards in the main office.

If your student did not receive a report card, feel free to contact the main office at DHS at 223-2316 for more information.

On January 4, 2010, the eyes of the world will turn to Dryden as the Olympic Flame arrives in our community as part of the Vancouver Olympic Torch Relay, presented by Coca-Cola and RBC and supported by the Government of Canada.

The torch relay will arrive in early afternoon as part of a convoy of vehicles, as it travels on its 45,000-kilometre-long journey across Canada – the longest domestic torch relay in Olympic history.

To celebrate the arrival of the flame, the City of Dryden is planning a Community Celebration at Van Horne Landing (at the south end of Van Horne Avenue), near the Ice Road which crosses Wabigoon Lake. 

The Community Celebration will take place from 2 PM until 4 PM on Monday, January 4^th and will feature a variety of great entertainment by local performers.  Our outdoor celebration will allow people from throughout the region to enjoy the wonder of winter. Step through time, enjoy the snow and ice, and cheer on the Olympic Flame.  If you do get a little chilly, enjoy warm refreshments and a warm-up tent.
