(I am also usually at Camarillo Park Days and most other ACHEV events.)

Here are some field trip guidelines for your upcoming trip:
All our exhibits are hands-on and interactive because MOXI is a place for exploration and discovery! Because of this, our field trips are self-guided with floor staff “MOXI Sparks” available to assist.
Field trips typically spend about 90 minutes in the museum and have access to the entire museum. The Innovation Workshop is a room located to right of the entrance on the first floor. We are welcome to explore the Workshop if there’s only 2 or 3 families in there at a time. The students may explore the Interactive Media Theater but must do so in groups of 7 or fewer and must be accompanied by a chaperone.
Food and Drink: Please have your students leave their backpacks and water bottles in the car. We do not have any area within the museum for field trips to eat lunch. Most of our field trips that bring lunches, eat at the grassy area right next to MOXI or walk down to the sitting wall at the beach.
Engineering Exploration Lab Information:
Your group will go into the Engineering Exploration lab at 10:00 AM for about 50 minutes. We only need to have teachers and a chaperone or two in the lab during this time. The other chaperones can either be out on the museum floor or they can grab a coffee out on State street (no food or drink allowed in the museum) and meet the group when they are finished at around 11:00 AM.
Parking: Most of our visitors park in the train station parking lot (right next to MOXI). The first 75 minutes are free and every additional hour is $1.50. There is limited free street parking nearby. Additional parking can be found in any of the nearby Santa Barbara city lots.
Address: 125 State Street, Santa Barbara, CA 93101

**You May Drop off for This Activity** but parents are more than welcome to stay if they like.
Come for a fun time and mark PE off on your homeschooling checklist. Mr. Adair is running this clinic again for ACHEV boys and girls (including his own kids) to learn how to play volleyball. They will focus on learning the skills needed to play a game: serving, passing, setting, and getting the ball over the net. They will also learn the rules of the game, how to rotate, the roles of each position, and eventually they will learn the position they are best suited for with their unique abilities.
Who: ACHEV boys and girls ages 10 and up.

Parents and younger siblings are welcome to stay and watch, go play on the playground, relax, etc. You may drop your child/ren off as long as they will stay with the group, but please let Kevin know that you are dropping off and make sure he has your contact information. It would be nice to have one parent that is willing to stay to help the kids with their drills, keep score during the game, etc.

When: This is a weekly clinic. We will take the week of Thanksgiving off, and continue through Dec 14th before breaking for the holidays. I will keep you posted about when we will start back up in the new year. I will keep it updated on the ACHEV calendar.
RSVP Required: We need at least 8 kids to play. The Adair kids will always be there, so that means we need 6 more. Please RSVP by Thursday night, or I will have to cancel the clinic for that week. RSVP using the RSVP feature below. Maximum 18 kids.
We are excited about this clinic and hope to see the kids grow in physical stature, have fun working as a team, and enjoying some friendly competition.

Station 50 History
Fire Station 50 serves the Camarillo Airport, the western portion of the City of Camarillo and unincorporated portions of the Oxnard Plain. It is also the headquarters for Division 1. Situated on the flight line of the airport, the original station was inherited from the U.S. Air Force by the airport authority and leased at no cost to the fire district in exchange for fire protection on the airport. The station was originally built as a temporary building in 1954 and never updated. A new station 50, located off Las Posas Road for better access to western Camarillo, was completed in early 2001. The Airport Fire Station is currently the district’s hazardous materials response station and the District’s Hazmat Officer is assigned here. The aircraft fire/recue vehicle also operates out of here. In 2006 a Paramedic Squad with two Paramedic/Firefighters went into service at Station 50. It is staffed daily by five firefighters and houses an engine (Engine 50); a crash truck (Crash 50); a tractor-trailer Haz-Mat unit (Hazmat 50); a paramedic squad(Squad 50); a foam unit (Foam 50) and a utility pickup(Utility 50). Also assigned to Station 50 are two De-Con trailers used for decontamination at Haz-Mat incidents.

Basic Dance Etiquette
Thank you for sharing this with your children.
For boys:
Ask a variety of girls to dance. They are waiting for you to ask.
You may be nervous asking a girl to dance. That is ok. She is probably nervous waiting to be asked.
Offer her your hand or your arm and escort her onto the dance floor.
When the dance is over, escort her off the floor and thank her for the dance.
For girls:
If a boy asks you to dance, graciously accept his offer.
If you stand with your friends in a closed circle, it is hard for a boy to ask you to dance. Make yourself available by opening up your circle.
For both:
Every dance has first time attendees. Make an effort to reach out to them and include them in your conversations.
Not everyone knows how to dance…that is ok. Everyone has to begin sometime.
A Sadie Hawkins dance is when a girl can ask a boy to dance.

CASA has invited ACHEV to join them on another fun field trip! We are invited to go to the Getty Villa!

Date: September 18, 2019

Time: 9:30 AM to 11 AM

Cost: free

Who: ACHEV Members 6 years old & older

Description:
Let’s kick off the school year together while viewing 7,000 years of ancient art, from the end of the Stone Age to the fall of the Roman Empire at a field trip to the Getty Villa! The Villa is a museum that is a recreation of an ancient Roman country house. “It offers a taste of life in the first century A.D.”

Our guided visit at the Villa will be from 10-11 am and will be taught by a Gallery Docent. Please arrive at 9:30 to find parking and meet up with our group. During the visit, students will study a limited number of objects in depth rather than tour the entire collection. Our lesson will be highly participatory. Students will work in small groups and engage in discussion, writing, role-playing, and, in some cases, art-making activities.
We need at least 15 students to attend to guarantee a docent. I have reserved spots for 20 students so we can have two groups of 10 with two docents. Only one parent per family will be able to attend the tour since the gallery rooms are small.
After the tour ends at 11, their picnic area is reserved for us from 11-11:30. If you choose to bring a picnic lunch, please bring it with you after you park and the Villa will store them for us. Please use small lunch bags since their storage is limited.
After lunch, their family room is open to us. This is a great “hands on” area especially for younger kids. Self guided audio tours are also available at this time.
For more information about the Villa, please visit: https://www.getty.edu/visit/villa/
Please contact Amy Leite if you are interested in joining this tour.

Dress Guidelines: We recognize that everyone has a different idea of what modest dress is. This is even more complicated when we are talking about swimwear. Out of respect for each other, our different viewpoints, and recognizing the vulnerability of our young men and ladies, we ask that all attendees follow these guidelines: 1) No exposed cleavage or abdomens, this will probably mean most people will need to wear a rash guard/swim shirt or t-shirt. 2) No exposed gluteal folds, this means that boys/men should wear swim trunks, and girls/women should wear boy-short cut swim bottoms or a pair of trunks/board shorts/running shorts over her bathing suit or an oversized t-shirt. 3) If you need help finding appropriate attire, try to borrow something, I’m sure we can all help each other out.
What to bring:
-your own meat to BBQ and BBQ utensils

Pool Rules: No glass bottles; No dangerous toys
We need everyone to pitch in and help clean up at the end of the night! We need to remove all party decorations, wipe down picnic tables, and sweep/rinse cabana deck to remove all food debris. We need to empty all the trash cans into the dumpster at the street and extinguish fire in fire pit. We also need to check the bathrooms for food/trash and cover the pool before we leave.
There will be a lifeguard at the pool party to help keep everyone safe, however we would like everyone to watch their own children. The lifeguard is not a babysitter.
We are only able to have 50 people attend.
