Sacramento Splash March 2nd! Ages 8-16
Sacramento Splash
A message from the director:
By way of introduction, I am the founder of Sacramento Splash. As you might know, Splash is involved in protecting water and habitat through education. Our Investigating Vernal Pools program in elementary school and Investigating Streams and Water Quality curricula are used by many homeschooling families in the area. If you’re not familiar with our programs, you can find out more at www.sacsplash.org.
I wanted to get the word out to families of homeschooling parents that we are looking for 15-30 students roughly between the ages of 8 and 16 on March 2 from 9:30 – 10:30 at Riverfront Street in West Sacramento (off 5th Street exit on Business 80 east of Raley Field). Splash will be there with our interactive watershed model to work with groups of about 10 students at a time exploring the impacts of stormwater pollutants and how families can help improve water quality in runoff from their own neighborhoods.
Since the media are turning out for this, I’d like the next generation to be present to advocate for their interest in protecting water and habitat where we live. If you and/or your friends and families would like to bring their children, please ask them to contact me directly.
Thank you so much, Eva Butler Splash Program Director eva@sacsplash.org

Digging UP the Past (Detailed Information)
Students are immersed in a hands-on, interactive archaeological project led by a trained archaeologist. This unique program integrates multidisciplinary skills in a realistic simulation. What does it really take to be an archaeologist? Your class works in teams to uncover the story of the fictional people who once inhabited a corner of the museum grounds. Students participate in an outdoor simulated archaeological dig to really understand how archaeologists uncover and decipher clues about the past.
The adventure begins in our lab, where students receive an introduction to tools, methodology, and techniques. They learn how real archaeologists operate using the scientific method.
Next they are organized into search teams and provisioned with tools and reference materials. The students trek outdoors to the dig site where they begin the search for buried artifacts--recording and cataloging each as it is uncovered. Students return to the lab to research and identify their genuine artifacts and develop historical connections. They prepare a final report of their findings that is presented to their fellow archaeologists.
Students use scientific inquiry methods to study the past while employing every subject area necessary--including science, math, history, reading, geology, and art--for a successful and complete archaeological investigation.

EMH Sports Volleyball
Volleyball is a cool, yet funny sport when you think about it. Trying to keep the ball form hitting the ground takes a lot of flexibility and agility which is an excellent way to keep your child/children moving.
Volleyball is usually flexible in terms of who can participate and remains fun for all ages. When played with beginners, the main challenge is just hitting the ball over the net. With intermediate players it’s hitting the ball in a way that makes it more difficult for the other team to respond to.
The basic skills of bunting, setting, serving, and court strategy will be covered in the volleyball class. The sessions will be modified for the younger groups with different kinds of balls and rule changes. We also use different net heights to accommodate the age groups. Coaches will focus on improving individual skills along with position specific training.
There are four (4) sessions in March and the cost is only $28. If you don’t have an account with us yet, please visit: http://www.emhsports.com/guide. If you already take our classes just log on to register at: http://www.emhsports.com/signup. If using POs, they need to be in before the first session to avoid late fees.
Learn more about sibling discounts for those parents paying out-of-pocket with three (3) or more children at: http://www.emhsports.com/discount/sibs.
To find a location near you please visit: http://www.emhsports.com/schedule - just type in your county choices and click on “search” for the listing of parks. Don’t see one near you, let us know.

Young Americans 3 Day Performing Arts Workshop
(From Toni Vassallo)
I highly recommend this 3 day performing arts workshop directed by The Young Americans. It will be hosted on the Del Oro campus in Loomis.
Please note, this is not a Christian organization. However, it is very professional and family friendly.
My Sara greatly enjoyed the experience on their last visit to this area 4 years ago.
It is a high energy blend of music, dance and theater. No prior experience required. Check out the details below.

I have attached the registration form for the workshop, and here is a link to my webpage with a link to online registration.

Homeschool Family Fundraiser
Dear Wonderful Homeschooling Families,
There is a sweet homeschooling family of 6 in Placer county that could use your support. The father of 4 was diagnosed this summer with Leukemia and later Lymphoma. They need help with medical expenses. A fundraising website has been set up for them.
After only months before watching John's dad endure chemo and loose his fight with cancer, chemo was not something they wanted to wait around for. And with concerns that finding a bone marrow match would be very difficult, alternative options seemed to be a no-brainer. However, alternative treatment requires paying out-of-pocket and comes with a large price tag. They are in need of their family and friends to come alongside them and help hold them up during this difficult time. John has a lot to live for - his beautiful wife, Della, and their four amazing children
Please keep this sweet family in your prayers. They are still in need of anything you can give financially. To help click the link. http://johncamachosleukemiatreatment.mydagsite.com/home
Thank you for your kindness,
Shannon Briggs
