EXPRESSIVE WRITING AT NEW OUTLOOK ACADEMY
Students at New Outlook Academy participated in a poetry reading to share their unique creations with their counselors and peers. The projects were all created as "reverse poems" which are defined as works that convey one meaning when read top to bottom and a different meaning when read in reverse or from bottom to top.
All of the students were incredibly proud of their work and participation in the reading, including:
Ashay B. (CA/Riverside)
Latiavi H. (Cambria)
Alexandra J. (Westmoreland)
Makayla K. (LeHigh)
Jacklynn M. (West Virginia)
Janiyah T. (Cambria)
Paige T. (Wyoming)
Gracelynn W. (Blair).
All presenters and their guests were treated to a reception after the reading to celebrate their creativity and courage in sharing their personal poems.
MAKING SUMMER LAST
Students at New Outlook Academy recently enjoyed a fun-filled afternoon in the sun at the South Park Nature Reserve. The Park offers year-round activities including the game preserve and streams that wind through over twenty miles of walking trails! After hours of exploring, the girls ended the outing with a cool treat at Rita's!
WAKE UP NEW OUTLOOK ACADEMY WELCOMES TWO NEW HOSTS
