Bryden Students Donate to Ronald McDonald House
Thanks go to Bryden Elementary School
students who collected books and toys to
donate to the Ronald McDonald House fami-
ly rooms in four local hospitals.
These items help hospitalized children
temporarily get their minds off their illness-
es and diseases when playing and reading.

"Outward Boundless Bryden"
An After School Club
Bryden students are covered in dirt, hiking in
a creek, rolling in the grass, climbing in the trees,
playing in the snow and sloshing through the
mud in rain and shine as part of the new "Out-
ward Boundless Bryden" after school club.
Each week, groups of students in kinder-
garten and 1st grade travel to Case Western
Reserve University's 400-acre Squire Valleevue
Farm to explore and play in the natural world.
Led by Beachwood staff members Wendi
Bomback and Jason Downey, the kids have the
freedom to play creatively, navigate terrain, be
social and challenge themselves physically.
