💚 Tiny Turtles, Big Terp Pride!
The 4th grade Terp Club students, along with their leaders—our 4th grade teachers Dr. Lucas and Miss Perry—had a great time creating these adorable little turtles during one of their Terp Club meetings! 🐢💚
They’re just as cute as Cookie, our real turtle, who is doing well and will be released on Poplar Island this spring. 🌿 What a special connection between creativity and real-life conservation!
A huge thank-you to Mrs. LeMire, our amazing Art and Media teacher, for helping gather paints and supplies and for generously sharing her space with us. 🎨✨

🌏🎶 Didgeridoo Down Under at Vienna Elementary!
Vienna Elementary students had an amazing time during a special assembly with Mr. Rob Thomas from Didgeridoo Down Under! His interactive show, “Protect the Planet,” combined music, culture, and an important message about taking care of our Earth. 🌿
Mr. Thomas wowed the crowd by playing the didgeridoo and even invited some students to come up and learn how to play it themselves—what a fun and unique experience! 🎶
Students were engaged, excited, and inspired as they learned how even small actions can make a big difference in protecting our planet. 🌎💚
A special thank you to Mrs. Winn, our community school social worker, for organizing this wonderful opportunity for our Vienna Terrapins! 💚🐢

Our Kindergarten Terrapins sure know how to start the day in a happy way! 🎉
Mrs. Dechert’s Kindergarten class begins each morning with a fun and energetic greeting time. Today’s greeting had each student taking a turn jumping on the trampoline while the class chanted:
“One, two, three, four — hit the floor, (student’s name)!
We’re so glad you’re here today…
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!” 🎉
This is just one of the many fun and creative morning greetings our kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Dechert, shares with her students, along with instructional assistants Mrs. Compton and Mrs. Malchow. These joyful routines get our Kindergarten Terrapins moving, laughing, and excited for the day ahead.
There’s nothing better than starting the morning with smiles, energy, and a warm Vienna Elementary welcome! 💛🐢📚

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
