Mr. Cuff and Mr. Greevy spent the day at BLAST IU17 learning how to identify and difuse problems and issues that arise here at Schick. They learned verbal techniques to de-escalate behavior and to prevent acting-out behavior. The purpose for the training is to provide the best possible Care, Welfare, Safety and Security for everyone involved in our school.

Here, Mr. Cuff demonstrates how he would do the One-hand Wrist Grab Release.

Here, Mr. Cuff demonstrates the Bite Release which uses the parasympathetic response as an aide.

Finding Nemo on ice....

Actually, Mr. Greevy and his daughter found Nemo at the Wachovia Center last weekend.
Mrs. G was in Anaheim next to Disneyland, so Mr. G and his daughter hopped
in the car and ventured to FIND NEMO.

They had an awesome time, although Char felt that the story was
kind of sad. 

Mr. Greevy and Charley enjoyed the show together, but Char really wanted the $10.00
shaved ice and then "needed" the $10.00 cotton candy. Both were too expensive.
Mr. Greevy did cave in to the $8.00 bucket of popcorn, because Mr. Greevy is a sucker for
popcorn!
