Won’t you be our new friend? We’re the PreK-3 class at Vienna Elementary School and we still have a few openings for new friends to join us this year! We have so much fun every day! We’re a part of the school, so we are here during school hours, 8:30 to 3:35 and a bus is available to bring us to school. There are lots of toys to play with, we learn rhymes and hear stories, have math activities, and lots of running around during outside play. We rest in the afternoon, and many of us fall asleep for a little while. We have breakfast, lunch, and a snack while we’re here and kind and well-trained grown-ups to keep us safe and help us learn. For more information or to schedule a visit, contact Ms. Julie Lewis at 410-228-4747 x1035 or lewisju@dcpsmd.org

Mr. Sorrells' 4th grade class recently completed an engaging "Worlds Collide" Social Studies unit! Throughout this exciting journey, the students explored the rich cultures of Native Americans, examined what motivated Europeans to explore and settle in North America, and learned about the complex interactions between these two groups.
To bring their learning to life, the students created imaginative shoebox dioramas that vividly showcased the diverse lifestyles of both Native Americans and European settlers. Each diorama was bursting with creativity, featuring elements such as houses, food, clothing, and tools for hunting, fishing, and farming from that period.
Mr. Sorrells found that this hands-on approach helped the students grasp and appreciate these fascinating cultures and historical events. What an excellent way to make learning enjoyable and memorable!
No, that wasn’t a storm in Vienna, just the thunder of hundreds of feet of students, families, and staff Turkey Trotting around the school earlier this week! There were no prizes for fast times in this Trot, but all participants were part of a raffle with lots of great prizes being offered, including (of course) a turkey dinner. Congratulations to top prize winners Cole Condon (3rd), Charles Coulbourne (1st), and Chance Blades (2nd)! And, yes, that’s Superintendent Thompson in the middle of a group of students, combining two of his favorites: running and kids! #DCPS23NoMore
