We had so many awesome students and staff from Vienna Elementary School who helped out at the Ironman event in Cambridge! Our students created some adorable cards for the athletes, and one athlete even sent a thank-you gift bag with Ironman goodies to our second grader, Raelyn.
On the day of the event, our fantastic volunteers were busy setting up the stations, handing out medals, and providing water and other supplies to the athletes.
Volunteering is such a great way to jump into the action and see the race from a different angle. Our volunteers became part of a lively community of athletes and supporters.
And who doesn't love a little bonus? Volunteers got stylish pink t-shirts as a perk!
Thanks for stepping up and representing Vienna Elementary School #withJOY! We're so proud of you all!

To ensure a successful year for our students at Vienna Elementary School, we are incredibly thankful for the generous support provided by the members of Wesley United Methodist Church in Hurlock, Zoar United Methodist Church in Rhodesdale, Christ United Methodist Church in Cambridge, and Waters United Methodist Church in Vienna. Their collective effort to donate numerous boxes of school supplies demonstrates a genuine commitment to our children's education.
Ms. Cynthia Sturgis from Zoar United Methodist Church and Mr. Keith Tillery from Wesley United Methodist Church personally delivered these valuable supplies. Our guidance counselor, Mrs. Michelle Frost, and our reading and math coach, Mr. Shane Abbott, were on hand to receive the supplies and distribute them to the classrooms.
We sincerely appreciate the outstanding contributions from these churches and their pastor, Ms. Michelle Nichols, as their generosity has a significant impact on the lives of our students and helps pave the way for their success. Thank you for investing in our future!
