Looking back at a day that reminded us what true determination and joy look like. 🫶✨
Students from Dryden, Lansing, Groton, and TST BOCES came together to compete in the annual Dryden Games, an inclusive athletic event for a day full of smiles, encouragement, and photo finishes. 📸🏁
We’re incredibly proud of all the participants, especially our TST BOCES students, who gave it their all and reminded us what it means to be a true champion. 🏅👏
A heartfelt thank you to the Dryden Central School District staff, student volunteers, local businesses, and community members who helped make the event so special.

It’s always special to meet the future and today we welcomed our newest P-TECH cohort of students for Day 1 of Bridge Week! 🎉🤝
Our day was full of connection, creativity, and collaboration. From spaghetti tower challenges to digital creations in Adobe and TinkerCAD, students explored what it means to be part of our P-TECH community.
We focused on learning about ourselves, each other, and the Tompkins Cortland Community College spaces we call home during the school year. We can’t wait to build on today’s energy with Day 2 tomorrow! 🚀💡

Nothing says "summer kickoff" like Hot Dog Day at TST BOCES! 🌭☀️
Last Friday, we gathered for one of our favorite traditions—Hot Dog Day! Every staff member joined in for food, laughter, and the kind of community spirit that makes TST so special.
This year’s celebration brought next-level energy:
👕 Our District Superintendent Lily Talcott rocked a hot dog bowling shirt
🧢 Staff showed up in themed pants, hats, earrings, and even hair clips!
🦖 An inflatable dinosaur roamed the halls
📸 And of course, we took plenty of photos to capture the fun!
Alongside our Board of Education, we proudly honored staff with service pins recognizing 5 to 35 years of dedication. 💐 We also celebrated those stepping into retirement, grateful for the years they’ve given to us and the impact they've had in our organization.
We're heading into summer with full hearts, big smiles, and endless appreciation for this amazing team. Happy Summer, TST Family! 💙☀️

✨ A Picture Worth a Thousand Moments 🖼️
Earlier this week, Turning Point Elementary hosted its annual end-of-year awards ceremony to celebrate each student in a meaningful and personal way. 💬💖
Teachers and staff each selected one word to describe every student, capturing their strengths, growth, and unique spirit. Those words were then woven into word cloud keepsakes shaped like something the student loves—Minecraft, Spiderman, butterflies, horses, and more. 🎮🦸🦋
Families and friends joined the celebration, cheering as each student received their custom picture. It was a heartfelt way to honor how far our students have come and the bright futures ahead. 🌟 Congratulations to all, and have a wonderful summer! ☀️
