Mathews' sixth-grade students participated in their annual cemetery walk this morning, hosted in collaboration with the Vienna Historical Society. Students explored the Vienna Township Cemetery, learning about the early settlers and the rich history of the community. Guided by members of the Vienna Historical Society, they uncovered stories behind tombstones and discovered notable figures such as Abiel Bartholomew, the first recorded burial in 1805, and prominent locals like Ithel F. Mathews and Beryl Baker.

International Dot Day - global celebration of creativity, courage and collaboration inspired by Peter H. Reynolds' book The Dot - was celebrated on September 15. Our students at Mathews Elementary School heard the story and then used their imaginations to design their own unique dots!
The result? This beautiful collage that's on display in our hallway!
