1st and 2nd grade students at Rydal Elementary had the opportunity to participate in the school's drama club! Students worked hard over the past few months to learn the art of acting before putting on their culminating event, a production of Dr. Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham".
Yesterday, Ms. Hansen and Ms. Bartlett took a group of students to the Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Local 1 Training Facility, where they had an opportunity to learn about the benefits of getting involved in the building trades, and also acquired some real-life experience in the hands-on portion of the workshop. The students learned about careers in stone masonry, tiling, bricklaying, and historic refinishing, but they also learned about the camaraderie that can be found in this career, as well as the importance of following your heart and working in a profession that you're passionate about! #ASDProud #ASDPathways
