On Friday, December 13, the "Didgeridoo Down Under" Show visited Vienna Elementary School! Our amazing School Social Worker and Community School Liaison, Mrs. Connar Winn, worked hard to bring this fun assembly to life for our students.
The performance was a lively mix of Australian music, culture, art, comedy, and some character development, all wrapped up with plenty of audience participation.
The show featured a variety of didgeridoos and cool percussion instruments, along with fun props like maps and globes. The performer shared essential messages about kindness, tolerance, and caring for one another and our planet.
Our students joined the fun by playing instruments, dancing, and acting out stories. It was such an enjoyable afternoon filled with laughter and learning!











Today, we had a very special visitor—the Tooth Fairy! Mrs. Caitlin Donohue-Vega, the friendly Oral Health Outreach Coordinator from the Eastern Shore Health Education Center, came to teach our students about proper dental care.
Thank you to Mrs. Donohue-Vega for sharing valuable tips on keeping our smiles bright and healthy!







Winter break will be from December 21st to January 1st.
Our Principal, Mrs. Susie Price, along with the faculty and staff at Vienna Elementary School, wish all our Vienna families a wonderful holiday season! Thank you for being so wonderful!

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.
