Each day when students came in, they wrote down some good news on The Good News banner. Some of the kids didn't take this exercise too seriously, but others wrote that the good news was stuff like "coming to VBS", "seeing my friends at VBS", "thank you for my parents", "thank you for another day of life", etc.
The theme for this year's VBS was "THE GOOD NEWS TRAIN", and the train went to five of the continents of the world. The saying in Spanish means "Leaving our prints throughout the whole world", in other words, sharing the Good News throughout the world.
The banner has dolls from foreign countries, and each student decorated a handprint to put on the banner. The title was suggested by Daniela, one of the teachers from the Lutheran School.
Here are David and Luis Roberto (two students from my class).
I didn't take too many pictures this year, and the pictures above were actually taken after I left! My class had a total of 24 kids, so these are just a few of the kids...VBS is a very popular activity at the church, and the kids look forward to having it every November, which is when their two month vacation from school starts.
