Today we had a surprise visit from a Christian school from Romania. Apparently, they are required by their government to take their students on some kind of trip out of the country. They chose to come to Vienna and somehow found us! There were thirteen students and about eight adults. They came to our class and sang several praise songs that they had learned in English. Then they stayed to watch our class perform the Bible skits they had been working on. It was a really fun surprise. They gave our class two magnets that are in the shape of Romania with a picture of their town on them. It was a good way to end our week.

Fall Festival is one of my favorite events at VCS. It reminds me of the Halloween carnival we used to have in Idyllwild when I was little. It’s a time where the whole community comes to the school to play games like Fishing for Treasure, Ping Pong Ball Races, Potato Sack Races, and Ring Toss. Each year there is also a chance for the high school students to pie their favorite teachers. This years pied teachers were Mr. Gardner, Miss Conrad, Mr. Richards, and Miss Woodbury. It’s important to note that if you are on a team with Mr. Richards, you’re probably going to be pied. He “wins” every year. It’s kind of a tradition. 🙂

The other fun thing about Fall Festival is that it is also the Fall Choir Concert. The elementary students and the middle and high school choirs all get to perform the music they have been learning. As usual, it was a great concert!
