New Outlook Academy hosted a Creative Expression contest on campus recently. The theme of the event was "Using Your Strengths to Overcome Your Challenges." The students created posters and wrote essays and some of their works were selected for submission to the Pennsylvania Juvenile Court Judges Commission Conference Poster and Essay Contests. All of the projects were incredibly inspiring and award-winning in our opinion. Congrats to all of our artists.
Building Community Through Giving Summit Academy students had the opportunity to volunteer at the Elliott Acres Therapeutic Riding Center. Elliott Acres aims to enhance the physical, mental, and emotional status of riders by teaching basic horsemanship principals which assist in improving the riders' movement, concentration, and communication.

We look forward to continuing this wonderful partnership.
