Dodge, duck, dip, dive and ... dodge!

Anyone who caught the movie "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story" must remember the Five D's of Dodgeball - Dodge, duck, dip, dive and ... dodge. The advice was offered by the legendary Patches O'Houlihan. From the looks of photos that ran with our story today on the Lake Riviera Middle School's fund-raiser for the American Cancer Society, http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060329/NEWS02/603290427/1070/NEWS02
it appears that Brick teacher Kevin Kidney missed all four. Or maybe even five.

You've got to hand it to the faculty, staff and students at the school - what a great fund-raiser. It looked to be a winner all around, raising $1,600 for the ACS's Relay for Life.

The kids got to watch their teachers square off in a dodgeball match that those teachers probably haven't played since, well, Middle School. I wonder if it aired on "The Ocho"? I'm also curious as to how the teams were chosen ... I hope the teachers had to stand awkwardly as the team captains got to pick their teams one by one ... a nightmare from days gone by for many.

Any other fund-raisers out there that go beyond the ordinary sales, auctions, dinners and car washes?

In Brick, with their specially made T-shirts that they sold, kids had their faces painted to cheer on their favorite teachers' teams. Tonight (March 30) the high school staff will play basketball against the township police officers. Game time is 7 p.m. in the high school gym, and more donations will be accepted at the door.
