There is quite a bit that goes into planning and conducting a Vacation Bible School. Because of this, there is a strong need for some sort of organization. Parkview's VBS is not bought, but written and designed specifically for Parkview and the children living in the Sherman area.

Parkview has a team of... interesting and talented workers that spend countless hours preparing, building, brainstorming, designing and writing for VBS each summer. After working together for many years, this team includes: 

		Bradley Brooks: After 23 years of growing up, Bradley realized there's more to VBS than just snack time. He writes the curriculum and attempts to lessen the chaos of pre-VBS prep; of course, working from home allows for time to do such things. Bradley has been involved with Children's Ministries' at a number of churches, but finds Parkview to be unique in that, he used to be a part of it.
You can find Bradley on stage as the host and in the Research Room this year.
		Jason Hale: Coming to us only two years ago, Jason has brought the joys of Elvis into our hearts. Serving as Youth Minister, this father of two manages to juggle his church life with his work life and leave plenty of time to run amuck. Jason continues to stay busy with the kids and teens at Parkview (cause he cares, not cause he's paid) and currently leads our Bible Hour program.
You can find Jason on stage as Methuselah and in Legends Cove on Monday this year.
		Tyler Milton: Known as the crazy one of the group, Tyler enjoys walks in the park, daffodils and dancing jigs. He has provided many technical services to VBS throughout the years and is, once again, our head script writer. Tyler has been very involved with the Children's Ministry at Parkview and his set design ain't to shabby. Oh, and his favorite past time is shootin' fish in a barrel.
You can find Tyler on stage as Panama Jack and in the Cave of Wonders this year.
		Pam Tennial: Crafty crafty Pam has the creativity of... someone who is very very creative. Designing artwork and crafts for VBS and Bible Hour, she has reinvented the age of VBS "craft time." As a fulltime mom and master scrapbooker, Pam began her acting career two years ago in the age old epic, "VBS 04, Skit #4." She is also involved in the Children's Ministry at Parkview.
You can find Pam in the Art-I-Facts Lab this year.
		Alison Tesney: Puppetmaster extraordinaire, Alison has lent her vocal talents to such characters as Jasper the Skunk and LeRoy the Script Super. She has a knack for art and contributed many sought-after chalk drawings to VBS 03. Alison has been very involved with the Children's and Youth Ministry and currently teaches 1st & 2nd grade at Parkview.
You can find Alison on stage as the voice of Olmec this year.

There are more than just these listed above that contribute a significant amount of time in preparing, serving and teaching:

Judy Low is our preschool director for Vacation Bible School. She has been serving in this area for a number of years and compiles all the curriculum for both preschool groups. Being a huge asset to the PV-VBS team, she not only teaches but also manages the entire preschool division of VBS.

LaVerle Mathis goes above the call of duty registering the children and adults that attend each evening. We can always rely on her spreadsheets and detailed lists of everyone who shows up. A necessity to this team, LaVerle currently teaches the 1st and 2nd graders at Parkview.

Welton Stoker is our adult class facilitator for Vacation Bible School. Another way to look at it: He is the man in charge of making sure the parents know what the kids are learning. After many requests, this is his third year to teach the adult class in the auditorium.  A valuable member of the PV-VBS team, Welton is also the minister here at Parkview.

Jeff Tesney is behind the scenes most of the time simply, 'making things work.' An extremely versatile and reliable volunteer, Jeff has been in costume teaching, behind the camera producing and running sound, computer, lights and video. He currently teaches the Jr High at Parkview.
