Dr. Craig Manning Speaks at Carey
 The Carey Students and Staff enjoyed a day with Dr. Craig Manning on August 22nd. Dr. Craig Manning is a nationally known Sports Psychologist who played tennis at both the collegiate and pro level; he currently coaches a Division 1 tennis program and has built it into a program that is ranked in the top twenty nationally. Dr. Manning has experienced the highest level of performance from a player’s perspective, a coach’s perspective, and as a cognitive-behavioral scientist. In his presentation at Carey School, he spoke about six topics with our students and staff: motivation, anxiety, concentration, confidence, decision making and programming the mind. This clinic was an exciting opportunity for us to kick off the new school year. Although Dr. Manning is a sports psychologist, the information he presented applies to so much more than sports, it applies to anything, academics, extra-curricular, college, studies, parenting, anything.
A special thanks to Dr. Manning for coming to Carey, spending the evening with the football team on top of Queens Crown, and giving us tools to use for the rest of our lives. If you are interested in his information, he has a website www.visualizeone.com

Blue Dominates the First Day at Carey Elementary
Carey Elementary starts off the year all dressed in Blue! Each child and adult received a tee shirt on the 1st day of school. The tee shirts have positive messages for us all to remember. The front of the shirt has a panther graphic on it with the printed words "CAREY CLAWS". CLAWS stands for "Courage to Learn Achieve Win and Succeed". On the back of the shirt is printed the words "PANTHER PAWS", "with PAWS standing for "with Positive Attitudes We Succeed"!!! We have had a great 1st week at Carey Elementary School, and with PAWS and CLAWS to guide us, we are sure to have a wonderful year!
