Vienna Elementary Terrapins love learning new words! 📚🐢
Mr. Stephen P. Heyneman from the Rotary Club of Cambridge visited Ms. Todd, our 3rd grade teacher, and our Vienna Elementary School 3rd grade class to present each student with a wonderful gift — their very own dictionary! He also took time to show them how to use it so they can discover new words, meanings, and build their vocabulary.
Thank you to Mr. Heyneman and the Rotary Club of Cambridge for this generous gift that our 3rd grade Terrapins can use throughout their program of study as they grow into college and career-ready students. 💚 #withJOY

Our amazing Art and Media Teacher, Mrs. LeMire, celebrated Dr. Seuss Day with our PreK 4 students in an extra fun and creative way! 🎨🎩
The little ones got to make their very own “Cat in the Hat” hats while practicing their coloring skills. Each hat looked just like the iconic one, and it was wonderful to see how focused and careful everyone was while working.
This activity was not only a blast, but it also helped the kids build fine motor skills and follow directions, all while celebrating the joy of reading. At Vienna Elementary, our Terrapins are always learning—even while wearing a very famous hat! 🐢📚✨
