Come join us during our after-school tennis programs at Ellis Elementary, 550 E Olive Ave, Sunnyvale, CA 94086 where we will focus on the skills and techniques that will make your child a remarkable tennis player. Also, playing tennis will be a chance for your child to build endurance and coordination. This program is only for the students attending the school and is not open to the public.
Our program is meant for beginners in TK to 3rd grade. We will be using and providing modified equipment (18ft portable net, smaller racquets, and low compression red balls) for your child to learn the fundamentals of tennis at their level.
We know most children will only enjoy tennis if they are having fun while doing so, which is our coaches’ main focus. We want to make sure every child becomes as passionate about tennis as our coaches are. Our coaches work incredibly hard to make sure your child becomes the best tennis player they can be.
Classes will take place 4/23 - 5/28 on Thursday from (Pre-care 2:25pm - 2:30pm)2:30pm - 3:30pm.

Fun After School Tennis Program at Ellis Elementary

I wanted to share a timely and uplifting local story idea about my 5-year-old son, Carl, who is currently competing in Colossal’s Jr. Ranger competition—a nationwide campaign supporting the National Wildlife Federation.
Right now, Carl is in 4th place nationwide, and the competition includes weekly elimination rounds leading up to the June 4th finale—so community support is especially critical in the coming weeks.
Carl’s journey has been more than just a competition—it’s sparked a genuine passion for wildlife conservation. He’s become a daily advocate for recycling, protecting habitats, and learning about wildlife and nature. Through this experience, our family has learned firsthand how even young children can make a meaningful impact on the environment.
If Carl wins, he’ll receive a $20,000 honorarium, be featured in Ranger Rick Magazine, and go on a once-in-a-lifetime wildlife adventure to meet Jeff Corwin.
Please support our local junior Conservationist through this link:

Niles Welcomes Spring with the Wildflower, Art &amp; Garden Show
A day of beauty, inspiration, local art, and garden charm returns to the Historic Niles District
FREMONT,
CA — On Sunday, April 26, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, the Historic
Niles District will bloom with color, creativity, and community spirit
as it hosts the Niles Wildflower, Art &amp; Garden Show along Niles
Boulevard.
This beloved&nbsp;springtime event invites visitors to experience the beauty of Niles in
full bloom while enjoying local art, garden inspiration, and the warm,
welcoming charm that makes the district so special. Set against the
unique backdrop of one of Fremont’s most historic neighborhoods, the
event offers a chance to slow down, stroll the boulevard, and take in
the sights, sounds, and simple joys of spring.
The&nbsp;Niles Wildflower, Art &amp; Garden Show is a free community event on

Niles Boulevard, designed to bring together residents, visitors,
artists, and garden lovers for a day that celebrates both creativity and
connection. Whether attending for the first time or returning as part
of a yearly tradition, guests will discover a district alive with
seasonal beauty and small-town character.
For&nbsp;many, one of the most anticipated parts of the event is the Optional

Garden Tour, a ticketed experience that offers a closer look at the
beauty and inspiration found in Niles gardens. Each year, the tour draws
people from near and far—some coming for the first time, others
returning again to admire the care, imagination, and heart that local
gardeners have poured into their outdoor spaces.
The&nbsp;Garden Tour is more than a look at flowers and pathways. It is a chance

to step into living spaces that reflect personality, dedication,
creativity, and peace. It often leaves visitors not only inspired, but
moved.
Advance Garden
Tour tickets are $15, and tickets purchased the day of the event are
$20. Advance tickets are available at My Friends &amp; I, Keith’s
Collectibles &amp; Books, and online at www.niles.org.
Organizers
are also inviting home gardeners in the Niles area to consider becoming
part of this special tradition. Those who would like to have their
garden showcased on the tour are encouraged to contact the Niles Main
Street Association. Sharing a garden is not about perfection—it is about
offering inspiration, opening a gate to beauty, and helping create a
memorable experience for the community.
From
the art to the gardens to the spirit of the boulevard itself, the Niles
Wildflower, Art &amp; Garden Show is a reminder of what people are
often searching for—beauty, creativity, inspiration, and a place that
feels genuine.
In Niles, they find it.

Participate in an interactive workshop where we will showcase our Renewable Energies and EV's basics student curriculum.
Acterra’s Youth Education Program offers free teacher training workshops designed to be engaging and interactive. This year, we’ll be closing out Earth Month with a solutions-focused, hands-on curriculum exploring renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs).
During the workshop, educators will explore climate change fundamentals, learn about the benefits of Zero Emissions Vehicles (ZEVs), and engage in interactive activities they can bring directly into their classrooms. The goal is to equip teachers with tools and confidence to help students understand clean energy solutions and consider choosing a ZEV as their first car when possible.
