Vacation Bible School was in full swing at the Presbyterian Church on First Street in Escalon this past week, with dozens of young participants learning about praise, giving and the Bible through fun activities, music and more. VBS leaders said the ‘Surf Shack’ theme was popular, with the program running from 8:45 a.m. to noon each day, Monday through Friday, at the church site on First Street. Numbers ranged from a high of about 42 students in the Pre-K and Kindergarten classes to about three dozen in the third and fourth grades, with another 40 registered in first and second, and about three dozen in the fifth and sixth grade class.
