SUMMARY:Great Pacific Pumpkin Patch Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Oh\, fall.  So many of us look forward to this season\, and pumpkins and all things pumpkin-spiced is one of the reasons why.   Join us for one of my favorite field trips of the year.  We are going to the McGrath Brothers Great Pacific Pumpkin Patch.  It has been a while since our group has visited this pumpkin patch.  It is in Ventura on Olivas Park Drive\, it is not the one in Camarillo. \nWe will receive an educational pumpkin/squash talk\, a hay ride on their beautiful property while we learn a bit of the history of their farm\, a visit with the animals (including ducks and pigs) and then everyone can pick out their own pumpkins.  Children will get to pick out one small sugar pumpkin to take home (included in $7 field trip fee). \nCost: $7 per child ages 6 and up.  $1 for every adult and kids under 6 (including babies).  Children under 6 that do not pay $7\, do not get a sugar pumpkin included\, but you can choose and pay for as many additional pumpkins and squash as you like.  Bring cash with you for the field trip fees. I will collect from everyone as you arrive and make one lump payment for our group before the field trip starts.  They take credit cards at the farm stand if you want to purchase additional pumpkins from them. \nTime: Our tour starts at 10:00.  Please arrive at 9:45 so that I can collect cash from everyone and make payment before the tour starts.  The tour will last about 45-60 minutes\, but plan to spend a little extra time afterwards to look at their wonderful selection of pumpkins and squash that are great for eating\, decorating and carving. \nSign Up Here\nAdditional Info: \n\nThey have a wide and wonderful selection of pumpkins\, squash\, gourds\, and colorful corn available for purchase.   We have been to a lot of pumpkin patches\, and this is my favorite to purchase from.  They should have a bunch of dried out gourds to choose from and they make a really fun art project for Halloween or Thanksgiving.\nThey are dog friendly as long as your dog stays on a leash and you clean up after it.\nBring your whole family and your camera!  They have a lot of good photo ops here =)\nWear good shoes.  There is a lot of dirt and some uneven ground.  Potentially mud depending on weather.\n\n  \n

Once they leave home\, Christian kids are leaving the church in alarming numbers. How can we help young believers stand up to the continual onslaught of peer-pressure\, professors\, and pop culture pushing them away from the faith? In this session\, noted apologist Lenny Esposito provides parents and young people with specific tools to solidify their faith and help them see why Christianity makes the most sense of our world. \n\nLenny Lenny Esposito\, President \nCome Reason Ministrieshttp://www.comereason.org/ \nThis event will be held at Encounter Church in their youth sanctuary\, also called the PLEX.

SUMMARY:Elementary PE Group
DESCRIPTION:10/13 – this meeting is at PV Fields playground area https://www.pvrpd.org/pleasant-valley-fields \nWhat: 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. \nParents 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. \nWho: 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). \nElementary 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.  \nElementary 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. \n\n\n\n9/29/23\n\n\n\n10/13/23\nPV Fields\n\n\n10/27/23\n\n\n\n11/10/23\n\n\n\n12/1/23\n\n\n\n12/15/23\n\n\n\n1/19/24\n\n\n\n2/2/24\n\n\n\n2/16/24\n\n\n\n3/1/24\n\n\n\n3/15/24\nPV Fields\n\n\n4/19/24\n\n\n\n5/3/2024\n\n\n\n5/24/2024\n\n\n\n\n
