**ONE BOOK, ONE SCHOOL!**
Starting tonight, Monday, January 12, 2026, Vienna Elementary School will participate in a special school-wide community reading event. Every family will receive a copy of the book "Friendship According to Humphrey" and will be encouraged to read it together at home over the next few weeks. We invite you to make the time to participate in this meaningful activity.
Reading aloud at home is valuable because it helps prepare your child to become an effective reader and provides a fun, worthwhile family experience. With this program, we aim to build a Community of Readers within our school. Everyone—students, parents, teachers, and even administrative staff—will be reading along together.
In school, your child will be invited to answer daily trivia questions to encourage and reward attentive listening. You will soon find that your child takes pride in knowing and anticipating the story's details. In class, students will explore the book through activities and discussion. You will want to make sure your family keeps up so that your child can be included.
The Humphrey book will be sent home tonight, and students received a reading schedule on Friday to help you keep up at home. The Humphrey reading can count as their reading steps for the evening.
Thank you for your continued support!
Happy Reading, Reading, Reading, #withJOY!
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
