 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

A very special welcome to our new Pre-School and Kindergarten teacher!!! Mrs. Amy Backus joins our team from Klamath Falls Oregon where she was teaching special education in 2nd - 6th grade. She and her husband (Dave) love this area and she is very excited to teach in Carey. She will be teaching Pre-school from 8:30 - 11:00 and Kindergarten from 12:00 to 3:00.
We would also like to welcome a familiar face as the new elementary secretary, Mrs. Nancy Durtschi. Along with her family, she has lived in Carey for the past three years. Nancy is a familiar face as she has been a guest teacher in many classrooms, as well as substituting in the office. She is also very excited to work with the students and staff at Carey School.
