On Friday, January 31st, we celebrated our Reward Day, honoring students who are respectful, responsible, and able to follow directions. The event was a tremendous success!
We enjoyed a fantastic day of bowling at Choptank Bowling Alley in Cambridge, creating unforgettable memories.
The energy was infectious as students embraced the joy of bowling—filled with fun, teamwork, and learning. Many students experienced bowling for the first time, and it was wonderful to see their enthusiasm. One of our third graders even noted how the strobe lights matched our “HOUSE” colors in red, green, and blue.
Families, you would have loved to witness your children's joy: students coaching each other, laughter, and even singing together filled the air.
We are proud of our terrapins, and we thank you for allowing us to be a part of their journey at Vienna Elementary School. They truly enrich our lives.
Special thanks to Choptank Bowling Alley, especially Mrs. Karla Blake and Mr. Kenny Abbott, for helping make this event a reality!

In November, several reading coaches, math coaches, teachers, and staff traveled to the Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia. We participated in a two-day professional development program, during which we observed teachers and students in their classrooms, participated in workshops, and interacted with the academy's students and staff.
Upon entering the Ron Clark Academy, we were warmly welcomed by enthusiastic students, teachers, and administrators. The impressive decorations, featuring dragons, suits of armor, and winding staircases, brought to mind the magic of Harry Potter's Hogwarts. House plaques adorned the walls, showcasing the school spirit, while students entertained us with live music and singing.
After the students' outstanding performance, we were led up the winding staircase to the auditorium for the first session with Mr. Clark. His charming Southern accent captivates the audience while sharing the school's philosophy through humorous stories about students, teachers, and parents. He emphasizes raising classroom expectations and outlines his classic principles in his book, "The Essential 55."
During our class visits, we were impressed by the students' politeness, intelligence, and confidence. The teachers effectively facilitated discussions, allowing students to find answers independently and share their solutions with classmates. The supportive environment among RCA students, who cheered each other on, was heartwarming. We also received valuable suggestions for incorporating strategies and learning tools in our classrooms.
All visiting teachers were invited to ride down the blue RCA slide to become "Slide Certified." The experience was filled with music, dancing, and celebration, making it incredible and joyful!
