DEAN'S ACADEMY'S ANTI DRUG/ANGER MANAGEMENT SESSIONS
THE STUDENTS OF THE DEAN'S ACADEMY WERE COUNSELED ON THE DANGERS OF DRUGS BY LICENSED MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST MRS. PATRICA HARRIS. THE STUDENTS LEARNED ABOUT A WHOLE VARIETY OF DRUGS AND WHAT THE DRUGS DO TO THE BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT OF AN INDIVIDUAL...IT WAS A VERY VALUABLE LESSON TO LEARN. A LESSON THAT CAN SEE THE STUDENTS THRU LIFE. MRS. HARRIS ALSO DID ANGER MANAGEMENT GROUP SESSIONS WITH OUR STUDENTS. SHE TAUGHT THE KIDS ABOUT HOW TO KEEP THEIR HEADS IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, AND HOW NOT TO RE-ACT IN ANGER WHEN THINGS DON'T GO THEIR WAY. THE STUDENTS AND STAFF OF THE ACADEMY WOULD LIKE TO THANK MRS.HARRIS FOR HER VALUABLE TIME!

MARGATE FIRE DEPARTMENT / INSIGHTS INTO 9/11
ON JUNE 29, 2006 THE STUDENTS OF THE DEAN'S ACADEMY GOT THE CHANCE LEARN MORE ABOUT THE 9/11 TRAGEDY WHEN MARGATE FIREFIGHTER/PARAMEDIC MICHAEL O'NEIL CAME BY THE MARGATE LIBRARY WITH HIS FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE OF THAT TERRIBLE DAY. FIREFIGHTER O'NEIL WAS A MEMBER OF A TEAM THAT RESPONDED TO GROUND ZERO THE DAY AFTER THE TRAGEDY. HE SHOWED THE STUDENTS VIDEO AND PICTURES HE TOOK HIMSELF OF THE CARNAGE. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE STUDENTS WILL NEVER EVER FORGET THOSE IMAGES. AFTER THE LECTURE THE STUDENTS THEN GOT THE CHANCE TO TOUR THE MARGATE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND MEET CHIEF RICK DONAHUE. THEY EVEN ALLOWED THE STUDENTS TO TRY ON THEIR GEAR AND SIT IN THE DRIVERS SEAT OF ONE OF THE FIRE TRUCKS. MR. O'NEIL TOLD ME THAT IN THE 14 YEARS THAT HE'S BEEN A FIREFIGHTER HE HAS TAUGHT MANY CLASSES AND GIVEN MANY LECTURES AND IN THAT TIME HE'S NEVER COME ACROSS BETTER BEHAVED STUDENTS THAN THE ONE'S IN THE DEANS' ACADEMY. IT MAKES ME PROUD TO HEAR THAT!!
