SUMMARY:Elementary PE Co-Op
DESCRIPTION:What: Please join us in engaging our 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 around 45-60 minutes long. Afterwards we will have optional free play. \nParents will take turns organizing/planning/leading the activities. 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. \nWho: ACHEV members Pk-12 years.   Activities are geared toward elementary ages.  If you have kids 11+ they are welcome to play volleyball with the older kids.  Drop off is ok for ACHEV volleyball (please see calendar for details on volleyball). \nThis co-op aims to be a commitment for the school year as opposed to a “drop-in” program.  If you’re curious\, but would like to try it out first\, please feel free to come for a couple sessions and see if it’s something you can commit to for the rest of the year.  We also invite students to join the group at any time in the year.   \nThe dates for the whole school year are printed below and all dates are also on the ACHEV calendar\, all are on Fridays.  We will meet at Pitts Ranch Park  (Camarillo).   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. \n\n\n\n9/26/25\n\n\n10/10/25\n\n\n10/24/25\n\n\n11/7/25\n\n\n11/21/25\n\n\n12/5/25\n\n\n12/12/25\n\n\n1/16/26\n\n\n1/30/26\n\n\n2/13/26\n\n\n2/27/26\n\n\n3/13/26\n\n\n3/27/26\n\n\n4/10/26\n\n\n4/24/26\n\n\n5/1/26\n\n\n5/15/26\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Sacred Harp Singing Group
DESCRIPTION:We are currently at full capacity due to space limitations! If you are interested and would like to join the waitlist\, please email Allyson at allysonplumberg@gmail.com\n  \n\n  \nACHEV Mom\, Allyson Plumberg\, is leading monthly Sacred Harp singings at her home in Camarillo. Sacred Harp music is a traditional form of a cappella shape note singing and has roots in the early American church. The music has a distinctively raw style and sound. Check out this brief intro video to Sacred Harp music. \nThis year\, generous donors from the Sacred Harp community gifted Allyson with 16 copies of the new 2025 Sacred Harp book for the purpose of growing Sacred Harp music within her homeschool community! \nNo previous music ability necessary! You are welcome to come try it out if you’re on the fence. \n  \nWhat: 30-45 minutes of basic instruction reading shape notes and singing from the Sacred Harp. Allyson will help break down the parts as needed. We will review songs from previous months\, learn a new song or two each session—and most importantly—enjoy worshiping together! \nOptional: After singing\, we can walk over to the Pleasant Valley Soccer Field park (2 min walk) and let the kids play for a bit afterwards. Looking at about 1.5 hrs total\, including park time. \nWho: ACHEV Members all ages\, moms and dads voices too! We have toys for babies who may not be ready to sing yet. \nWhen: We meet on the 3rd Monday of every month from 9:30a-10:15a. If you join us for the park afterwards\, we will wrap that up around 11:00a. \nWhere: Located near the Camarillo YMCA. Exact address will be provided upon RSVP to Allyson at allysonplumberg@gmail.com \n  \nPlease reach allysonplumberg@gmail.com if you want to learn more. \n  \n

(This means touching the top of the knee\, regardless of leggings.) If there is a lace overlay\, the skirt underneath (solid fabric) needs to touch the knee.\nSlits in skirts cannot rise above the top of the knee regardless of leggings underneath.  If you skirt/dress just touches the top of the knee and it has a slit in it\, it is too short.  You can stitch up a slit or use safety pins to close it up.\nLeggings or shorts are required if the skirt rises past the knees while twirling.  It’s a good policy to wear shorts or leggings under your skirts regardless of length.\nNo low-cut\, strapless\, backless\, or halter tops. Straps need to be at least one inch wide. No exposed cleavage or bra straps.  If you aren’t sure\, wear a cardigan over your dress.\nIf your top is sheer or see through\, you need to have solid straps underneath that are at least one inch wide.\nNo pants (other than leggings under your skirt or dress).\nClosed toe shoes are recommended.  We recommend no slingback shoes.  Absolutely no flip flops\, socks\, or bare feet.  It is hard to dance when your shoes are super sticky/grippy on the dance floor.   If you don’t have dress/dance shoes\, Converse/Keds type shoes work OK.  If the girls want to wear heels\, please bring a second pair of shoes that will be more comfortable in case they need/want to remove their heels.\n\nPlease view the visual dress code: ACHEV-Dress-Code-tailored-for-Christmas-Semi-Formal \nBasic Dance Etiquette.  Please go over this with your dancers: \nFor Boys: \n\nAsk a variety of girls to dance.  They are waiting for you to ask.  We ask that all young men practice an attitude of chivalry.\nYou may be nervous asking a girl to dance. That is ok. She is probably nervous waiting to be asked.\nOffer her your hand or your arm and escort her onto the dance floor.\nWhen the dance is over\, escort her off the floor and thank her for the dance.\nIf we announce a Sadie Hawkins dance\, and you decline an offer to dance\, you will rest for the entire song.\n\nFor Girls: \n\nIf a boy asks you to dance\, graciously accept his offer unless you need to rest or take a breather\, in which case you may say “no thank you”.  If you decline an offer to dance\, you will rest for the duration of that song.\nIf you stand with your friends in a closed circle\, it is hard and nerve wracking for a boy to ask you to dance. Make yourself available by opening up your circle.\n\nFor Both: \n\nEvery dance has first time attendees. Make an effort to reach out to them and include them in your conversations.\nNot everyone knows how to dance…that is ok. Everyone has to begin sometime.\nA Sadie Hawkins dance is when a girl can ask a boy to dance.  The boys are to do the asking unless we announce a Sadie Hawkins dance.\n\nSign Up for the Dance Here\n  \n  \n  \n

(This means touching the top of the knee\, regardless of leggings.) If there is a lace overlay\, the skirt underneath (solid fabric) needs to touch the knee.\nSlits in skirts cannot rise above the top of the knee regardless of leggings underneath.  If you skirt/dress just touches the top of the knee and it has a slit in it\, it is too short.  You can stitch up a slit or use safety pins to close it up.\nLeggings or shorts are required if the skirt rises past the knees while twirling.  It’s a good policy to wear shorts or leggings under your skirts regardless of length.\nNo low-cut\, strapless\, backless\, or halter tops. Straps need to be at least one inch wide. No exposed cleavage or bra straps.  If you aren’t sure\, wear a cardigan over your dress.\nIf your top is sheer or see through\, you need to have solid straps underneath that are at least one inch wide.\nNo pants (other than leggings under your skirt or dress).\nClosed toe shoes are recommended.  We recommend no slingback shoes.  Absolutely no flip flops\, socks\, or bare feet.  It is hard to dance when your shoes are super sticky/grippy on the dance floor.   If you don’t have dress/dance shoes\, Converse/Keds type shoes work OK.  If the girls want to wear heels\, please bring a second pair of shoes that will be more comfortable in case they need/want to remove their heels.\n\nPlease view the visual dress code: Sock Hop Visual Dress Code \nBasic Dance Etiquette.  Please go over this with your dancers: \nFor Boys: \n\nAsk a variety of girls to dance.  They are waiting for you to ask.  We ask that all young men practice an attitude of chivalry.\nYou may be nervous asking a girl to dance. That is ok. She is probably nervous waiting to be asked.\nOffer her your hand or your arm and escort her onto the dance floor.\nWhen the dance is over\, escort her off the floor and thank her for the dance.\nIf we announce a Sadie Hawkins dance\, and you decline an offer to dance\, you will rest for the entire song.\n\nFor Girls: \n\nIf a boy asks you to dance\, graciously accept his offer unless you need to rest or take a breather\, in which case you may say “no thank you”.  If you decline an offer to dance\, you will rest for the duration of that song.\nIf you stand with your friends in a closed circle\, it is hard and nerve wracking for a boy to ask you to dance. Make yourself available by opening up your circle.\n\nFor Both: \n\nEvery dance has first time attendees. Make an effort to reach out to them and include them in your conversations.\nNot everyone knows how to dance…that is ok. Everyone has to begin sometime.\nA Sadie Hawkins dance is when a girl can ask a boy to dance.  The boys are to do the asking unless we announce a Sadie Hawkins dance.\n\nSign Up for the Dance Here\n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:WFVZ Bird Museum Tour + Lab
DESCRIPTION:ACHEV activities\, events\, and field trips are for ACHEV students unless otherwise noted. \nCome see one of the largest collections of birds’ eggs and nests in the world!! \nField Trip WFVZ Bird Museum and Research Center\, Camarillo \nThe WFVZ  (Western Foundation of Vertebrate Zoology) Bird Museum was founded in 1956 by Ed N. Harrison and several other prominent southern California naturalists. This hidden educational gem in Camarillo hosts one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of birds’ eggs and nests. The WFVZ mission is: To study\, conserve\, and  educate about the birds of the world! (You can preview the museum displays via this link: https://wfvz.org/virtual-tour/).  Tours are led by biologists and scientists who work at the museum. \nThe WFVZ houses: \n\nEggs: more than 275\,000 sets\nNests: approximately 20\,000 specimens\nBird Study Skins: more than 57\,000 specimens\nMounted Specimens: More than 1\,800 birds mounted in life-like postures\n\nTime: Tour begins at 10am\, but please arrive and 9:45 to check in and pay so that we can begin on time. \nTour length: 1 hour. The hour will be broken into a 30 min docent led tour\, followed by 30 min where you can explore the museum on your own.  Younger children can do a scavenger hunt activity during free time. \nWho: ACHEV members\, all ages. While any age is allowed in the museum\, we find that students 9+ have the best learning experience because they have an easier time seeing the specimens on top of the cabinets. \nCost: $10 per person; children 5 and under are free. The option lab add-on (1 hour) costs an additional $10\, bringing the total cost to $20 per student if participating in the lab. The lab will be done after the initial 1 hour tour. We must have 8 students participating in the lab to make it happen. Payment will be collected by the museum the day of the tour. They accept cash or credit card. \nOptional Lab Add-On:  \n\nCost: Additional $10 per student (total of $20)\, parents watch for free.\nTime: 11:00-12:00\nWho: Grades 3-12 .  Parents can sit inside the lab room and watch at no cost.\nWhat: The lab will be a hands on\, interactive  lab called “What Bird is That?” with the scientists that work at the museum.  They will work with each other and the instructors on taxonomy\, learn about how DNA and modern science has changed how birds are classified\, and have the opportunity to get very hands on with some interesting specimens.   **Please be aware that birds are stuffed and mounted with glass eyes.  Some children may be sensitive to this.**\nWe must have minimum 8 students participating in the lab to make it happen. If we have less than 8 wanting to do lab\, then it will not be offered.   Indicate on the sign up sheet if your student will participate in the lab.  Max 30 students participating in the lab.\n\nOther Important Notes: \n\nThe museum contains information about evolution and it will likely come up during the tour.\nPlease wear jackets as the museum center is kept cold.  The lab is warmer.\nMaximum group size of 44\n\nSign Up Here: Deadline Wednesday\, February 4th.\n   \n  \n  \n  \n
