Guess what? Humphrey is back and ready for another exciting adventure with us! 🐹✨
After his first amazing experience with us in the fall, Humphrey the hamster is thrilled to return to Vienna Elementary School as we continue our One Book, One School tradition featuring the beloved Humphrey book series. Our next selection is Friendship According to Humphrey—and we can't wait to see who Humphrey befriends this time!
Each day, Humphrey will make a special visit to a different classroom, spending quality time with each class. Our Principal, Mrs. Price, will keep everyone in the loop with daily updates during the morning announcements, letting us know how each classroom visit went and what interesting discoveries Humphrey made along the way.
Additionally, there will be a fun trivia question every morning based on the chapter read the night before, offering students a chance to earn "HOUSE" bonus points!
Stay tuned for more details!

Our Sports Day at Vienna Elementary School was filled with pure energy from start to finish on Wednesday, December 17, 2025!
In a surprising twist yesterday, the Grinch made off with a Christmas tree from our fifth-grade classroom at Vienna Elementary School!
But fear not! Brave fifth-grader Marlee Rogers jumped into action, not only rescuing the tree but also sharing important lessons about kindness and the true meaning of giving during the holiday season with the Grinch.
Let's give a big cheer for Marlee for spreading that joyful terrapin spirit! #withJOY
