Nor Cal Basketball Class / Roseville / 4-5 Saturdays begin Oct.
Todd Nash
California Athletics for Home Schools
760-458-9753 Cell
------------------------------------------------------------------------
After many requests from families in N Cal, I will be teaching a weekly series of basketball classes there this fall in 5 sites! The basketball class is an ideal Physical Education class for ALL children, regardless of whether they want to play the sport or not. It teaches critical motor skills, coordination, manual skills with both hands, and develops critical cross brain connections more than any sport or activity! Recent research tells us that this cross brain development (done by using both hands alternately in a physical skill) helps students to excel in all academic subjects. It is also the best clinic an active basketball player could do to reinforce the development of important basketball skills.
The class will meet once each week for 5 weeks in 5 different sites allowing for weekly practice between classes, further enhancing the development of all of these essential physical skills. We will meet at a park basketball court in your area for 1 ½ hours per session for 5 weeks. If one or more of the class sites does not get enough registrations and we can still hold 3 classes, the classes will be lengthened to 2 hours each and will meet for 4 weeks. The same skills will be taught either way. Classes will all meet on Saturdays starting in mid October, finishing before the week of Thanksgiving. The cost of the class is only $100/student, a bargain for quality instruction in a complex sport like basketball! I am a vendor with most N Cal charters who will pay for the class fully. I am listed under either California Athletics or Todd Nash.
For more details, including directions to each site, see the website below. Click on N CAL SPORTS to get the details, schedule, directions, and see some pictures! The schedule: Saturdays beginning October 24, meeting for 5 consecutive Saturdays, 1 1/2 hours each session, finishing on Saturday, November 21:
9:00-10:30 San Jose
11:15-12:45 Pleasanton
1:30-3:00 Concord
3:30-5:00 Berkeley
6:30-8:00 Roseville (Lit basketball court)
OR
4:45-6:15 Roseville (if an earlier class cancels)
If any class cancels, the others will be moved up to an earlier time, so please keep your schedule open in case of a schedule shift. Hopefully, we fill all of the classes so this is not a factor! If 2 of these planned classes cancel for low enrollments, but the other 3 have enough, we will make the classes 2 hours each and meet for 4 consecutive Saturdays.
For full details, please check the website below. If you will join us, please register on the website immediately. Then get your PO issued or prepare your check for the class for $100 per student. Call or email if you have any questions! Pass this information to all of your friends, and I hope to see you all at basketball class!

EMH Sports Flag Football
EMH Flag Football - Coed PE Sport for All Ages!!
Hello Parents/Guardians:
It’s time to sign up for another one of our popular sports – October Flag Football. We are now taking registrations. Many new locations have opened from the wish lists; so please check and see if your location has become active. If yours is not, please don't forget to add your name to the list - we only need 20 students to start.
EMH Sports PE Flag Football Description:
The primary difference between football and flag football is that it is a “no contact” game. Instead of tackling the ball carrier, defensive players try to pull the flags off the ball carrier’s belt. Students will participate in fun contests such as steal the flag, punt, pass and kick. It’s the perfect game for boys or girls ages 4 and up. We modify the game for our PreK group.
Your children will be constantly running, sprinting, and tossing the ball -- all in just one play! They will get a good, healthy workout exercising different muscle groups.
Cost:
The cost for this month is $28 per child (4 one hour sessions). This sport is coed and is appropriate for all students grades PreK-12th. Payment, POs, and vouchers must be made before the start of first class session.

Jrs: Sacto FBI Teen Academy Applications Available Online
Wanted: High School Juniors
Fall 2015 Sacramento FBI Teen Academy Applications Available Online
Fall 2015 Sacramento FBI Teen Academy Applications Available Online
SACRAMENTO, CA – Have you wondered if the TV shows featuring the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are realistic, what it really takes to work for the FBI, and what investigations are like? If you are a high school junior who attends school within the 34 California countiesserved by the FBI’s Sacramento field office, apply to find your answers at the Fall 2015 Sacramento FBI Teen Academy.
The Fall 2015 Sacramento FBI Teen Academy will occur Friday, November 20, 2015, at FBI Sacramento field office headquarters in North Sacramento. A limited number of applicants will spend an informative, interactive day at the FBI’s Sacramento field office headquarters. Prior classes engaged in classroom discussions offering insight into a number of topics and specialties such as the importance of making good choices when using online communication platforms, the difference between freedom of speech and violation of federal law, what is required of all FBI applicants, the FBI’s domestic and international roles, and discussions about adjudicated cases. Hands-on experiences involving the evidence response team, bomb techs, and auto shop also offered students the opportunity to learn about a limited number of FBI tools and techniques firsthand. After completing the class, students are more aware of challenges their communities face, know the challenges of the online environment, better understand how the FBI serves their communities, and are better prepared to mentor their peers.
Application packages are currently available on the “In Your Community” page of the FBI’s Sacramento field office website. Any high school junior attending a public, private, charter, or home school may apply by the deadline, October 23, 2015, for consideration. Applicants need not be interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement or have prior experience in a law or law enforcement academy. Completed applications include three elements: application, essay detailing why the student wants to attend, and what benefit attendance may have for the student’s school and/or community, and release form.
The FBI Teen Academy program is a no-cost experience; however, families are responsible for any necessary transportation and any overnight, if such are necessary to attend the class. The Sacramento FBI Citizens Academy Alumni Association generously sponsors lunch, morning and afternoon snacks, and other items for all students in attendance.

Mobile Pack for Feed My Starving Children
Dear Homeschool Network Families,
For the past six years, I have been the volunteer coordinator for the Feed My Starving Children mobile pack that comes to Rocklin in October. Each year, hundreds of homeschoolers have turned out to help pack meals, almost two and a half million of them! Thousands of children’s lives have been saved! J It has become a tradition for many families so I am again letting you know about this opportunity. This year we are packing more meals than ever….544,000! We need 3,100 volunteers to help us assemble those meals! Please consider joining us for a two-hour shift. Five shifts are available October 22-24 and the event is held at William Jessup University in Rocklin.
Registration goes live next Thursday, October 1st at 8:00 a.m. You can sign up your family any time after that, if you are not already a part of another group that is. Spots have historically filled up quickly (thanks, in part, to amazing homeschoolers!) Just a few things to keep in mind:
Ø Please no children younger than 8, for safety purposes. There is also an adult-to-child ratio that needs to be followed. This ratio can be found at the website under “Questions and Answers” as well as other frequently asked questions. Please take a minute to review this information.
Ø The names of everyone attending will need to be entered into the system.
Ø An e-mail will come out about a week before the event with information about what time to arrive, where to park, what to wear (and what not to wear), etc. Please be sure to share that information with the people in your group.
Ø The local FMSC committee has to pay for all the meals that are packed at our mobile pack. The average person packs about $48 worth of food in a two hour shift. For example, if you bring six people to the mobile pack, you will pack app. $288 worth of food. Any donations to help pay for the food would be greatly appreciated, although donating is not required to pack meals. There is more information about donating on the website.
The website: www.sacfmscmobilepack.org (Click on “Register to Pack Meals”)
Mobile packs are fun and high energy!! Serving in this way will send a meaningful and powerful message to your children. If you would like to see how a mobile pack works, here is a video: http://www.sacfmscmobilepack.org/apps/videos/videos/show/17893975-the-mobile-pack-experience

Fair Oaks,Exciting News: Mathnasium HomeSchool Hours are Starting Soon!!!
A few weeks ago, I posted a message letting you all know about an exciting opportunity for homeschool students at Mathnasium. The idea was to have extra morning hours, exclusively for homeschool students already enrolled in Mathnasium, three times a week from 10am to 12pm. I am very pleased to announce that this opportunity will start being offered the week of October 5th, and we are very excited to get this program off the ground. We would love to see more homeschool students among our ranks, so please feel free to contact us at fairoaks@mathnasium.com if you would like to join us. You will need to enroll your student in one of our monthly programs to participate in this opportunity, but you will also have access to our top-notch instructors, an individualized curriculum for your student, and the ability to help your student advance their math skills. Mathnasium is a great program that I firmly believe in, having left the classroom to pursue a career with this tutoring center. Our motto of "Catching Up, Keeping Up, and Getting Ahead" is very evident by the constant success of students who have been able to get through a whole grade level of math within three months time. We are constantly accepting new students, so I hope you will join us during this exciting time!

Come along with Ranger Bruce and learn about the Pony Express and the amazing things that happened to them. The mail was delivered to Sacramento from St. Joseph, Mo. Believe it or not mail got through in 10 days. Men and boys risked their lives to get the mail past the Indians, buffalo stampedes, and prairie fires. I will teach you about one very famous 11 year old boy from right here in Sacramento who rode for the Pony Express. You will want to learn all about him. Many of the riders went on to become world famous. Some joined up with Buffalo Bill to travel the world. You will learn about the young girl named “Little Miss Sure Shot” and some of her incredible marksmanship. Yep, you guessed it, Annie Oakley. Cost - $35.00 per family. Meet in front of the Railroad Museum – Old town Sacramento. Time 10:00 – 12:00. To sign up for the wonderful class, first contact Ranger Bruce to make sure there is room mailto:sparky3777@gmail.com?subject=Ranger Bruce - .
Then send a check to Bruce. Email for the address please. Then you’re all set.
Each family will receive a “1960” Pony Express Centennial postage stamp. This is a 55 year old stamp in mint condition (never been used) yours free for being part of this class. (A $12.00 value) Also young girls will receive from Ranger Bruce, a playing card shot threw the center and autographed by Annie Oakley herself. Reproduced by the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show 1884.
