We continue playing through the year, and if you log enough hours, you can count this for High School credit.
This is for fun, exercise, and to learn how to play the game, this is not hyper competitive. Kevin would love to do drilling and teach the kids more technique if they want to learn. So if you want to get better at serving, setting, etc. ask Mr. Adair to help you.

What: Please join us in engaging our younger elementary children in teaching them how to work as a team and develop perseverance, good sportsmanship and friendships through physical activity. Our goal is to choose activities that will challenge the kids a bit, but something that they can be successful at. Structured PE activities will be 30 minutes long and not more than 45 minutes. Afterwards we will have optional free play.
Parents will take turns organizing/planning/leading the activities and do a different activity every month. If you need equipment, reach out to the other parents or ACHEVmoms on Facebook to see if it can be obtained/borrowed for free, or come up with another idea that doesn’t require equipment you don’t have. We are not expecting anyone to spend $$ on equipment. Some examples: Relay races, duck duck goose/Simon Says/Red light-Green Light, trash can basketball, Capture the Flag, Freeze Tag/Blob tag, dodgeball, jump rope games, push up games, track and field games, etc.
Who: ACHEV members under 10 and parents. ACHEV members over 10 are welcome to come and help the younger kids with the activities, sit and watch, or go play volleyball with the ACHEV volleyball group at Pitts Ranch. Drop off is ok for ACHEV volleyball (please see calendar for details on volleyball).
Elementary PE is not a drop off event, and parents should be available and willing to help their children through the activities, giving assistance and encouragement as needed.
Elementary PE is a co-op, but will remain open for ACHEV members to join us any time. Please consider joining us regularly and helping plan activities. We need to have a core group of people that intend to prioritize this activity on their calendar. The dates for the whole school year are printed below and all dates are also on the ACHEV calendar. All Fridays. We will meet at Pitts Ranch Park with the exception of two dates that we anticipate will be at PV Fields (Camarillo). Details will be kept up to date on the calendar. Please email or text Bonnie Adair 805-504-6457 bonnieadair@verizon.net if you are interested in joining us. We need to know how many children will be present in order to help with activity planning.

Ballroom Dance: Nightclub Two Step Lessons

What: Private ballroom dance classes for ACHEV at House of Dance – Lesson for 45 minutes, dance practice to music for 15 minutes. This is an 8-class series taking place on Wednesdays April 3, 10, 17, 24 and May 1, 8, 15, 22. We will start at the beginning level. If you would like to join this class, you need to start with us on April 3. We will not be able to add new people once the series has begun.
In April & May, we will be learning Nightclub Two Step: Nightclub Two Step was developed in the 1960s by a 15-year-old West Coast Swing dancer from Whitaker, Illinois named Buddy Schwimmer. Buddy Schwimmer invented the dance in 1965. He developed the Nightclub Two Step while practicing with his sister as he searched for a way to popularize slow ballad music. He noticed that during their high school parties, most of his friends stood still and shuffled in place when slow, romantic songs played. He felt there was a need for a more interesting alternative to dancing to slow music so he created a dance called the Night Club Two Step. When Buddy opened a dance studio in Costa Mesa, California years later in 1978, he began teaching the Nightclub Two Step that can still be found in ballrooms and night clubs today.
The Nightclub Two Step is a great alternative for dancers who want to go beyond a simple slow dance with their partner. It’s a great dance to learn how to dance to slow music. It is often used to compete as a country dance, but it is also danced to easy listening, smooth jazz, and R&B music. Today, the Nightclub Two Step can be danced as a stationary dance, a dance that travels around the dance floor in the line of dance, or a combination of the two.

A guest can be an ACHEV 9th grader, or a non-ACHEV 9-12 grader, or graduate. This is a non-dating group event – in a sense, everyone is “going solo” with ACHEV students grades 10-12 having the option to invite a guest.
Please RSVP for your guest on the sign up sheet and confirm that they have read the dress code and etiquette.
RSVP link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Fj80hN3ffJ8MeRsPQRqZhQcGlvXQAPENegMhLoRb4Xk/edit?usp=sharing
CHAPERONES: Due to space constraints, chaperone priority will go to parents of ACHEV 12th graders first, then ACHEV parents of 10-11th graders, then others parents as space permits. Chaperones will have assigned duties throughout the evening. Thank you.
DINNER is included.
PROM KING & QUEEN: We will have an opportunity to vote for a prom King and Queen.
The venue is a lovely private property in Camarillo, generously offered to us by friends of the Hill family. We will not have access to the home, so there will be portaloos. The event will be held outside, so please be prepared for possible cool weather.
Please remember:

The prom is a non-dating group event. (No Public display of affection.)
Be respectful in your speech and behavior toward everyone.
Be careful and respectful of the venue.
Display Christ-like, welcoming attitude toward all.
No inappropriate forms of dancing.
Only ticket holders and chaperones will be allowed at this event.

We will be upholding the dress code. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us ahead.
The Prom is a truly formal event – suits and ties for the gentlemen, and long or below knee length formal gowns for the ladies. Please note if a gown has sheer layers, solid fabric must be below the knee.
Gentlemen:

Tuxedo or suit.
Dress-shirt must remain tucked in.
Tie required. It may be a traditional tie, a bow tie, or ascot tie.

Ladies

Long or below knee length formal gowns. If there is a sheer overlay, the skirt underneath (solid fabric) needs to reach below the knee. No skirt slits above the knee.
Please wear leggings or shorts underneath.
No low-cut, strapless, backless, or halter tops. Straps need to be at least one inch wide.
No exposed cleavage or bra straps.
No peek-a-boo holes or sheer openings.

NO STILETTOS or pointy heels. We are dancing on a basketball court and it has little holes in it that your shoe will get stuck in. We encourage comfortable dress shoes.

Hello Everyone. There’s a lot of information here, so please read it all. (Also since there is a lot of info here, please let me know if it looks like I might have made a mistake somewhere). The information at the beginning is general information for all of the outings, and towards the bottom I will add more specific details for each outing as the information becomes available. The specifics of each outing can’t be known too far in advance because things depend on weather and what nature is providing at the time (water availability, natural plant availability which depends on rainfall, etc). These outings are being led by “Tracker Rob”, and tracking animals is his specialty, but he has many survival skills and a love for nature that he enjoys sharing. There are many exciting skills to learn, and we will start on Feb 15 with a survival skills basics outing, which will be followed by going more in depth into skills such as animal tracking, shelter making, and edible and medicinal plants. You will get all the specifics via email after you register, so please make sure to include your email address when you sign up. Please contact me (Bonnie) with questions first. I will be the main point of contact for the outings.
