New Outlook Academy news

Because we are constantly using today to plan for a brighter tomorrow, students at New Outlook Academy created posters to document what they are working toward in their future. Love, happiness and strength are wonderful goals ladies.

New Outlook Academy is kicking off their first reading selection of their Summer Book Club. For the coming weeks, a group of students will read and discuss "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot. New Outlook Academy staff members Lucia Colaizzi and Kionna Howell are facilitating the group and look forward to an interesting and educational experience for the group.

Henrietta Lacks was a woman who unknowingly donated her
cells at John Hopkins in 1951, beginning what was the first, and, for many years, the only human cell line able to reproduce indefinitely.

Students participating in the book club are:
Symone A. (California)
Jaylisha B. (West Virginia)
Ashay B. (California)
Madison C. (West Virginia)
Angelina F. (Monroe County, PA.)
Cierra G. (Monroe County, PA.)
Abby M. (Erie County, PA)
Jacklynn M. (West Virginia)
Destiny M. (Maryland)
Julie S. (West Virginia)
Alexis S. (West Virginia)
Nyreese T. (Lycoming)

New Outlook Academy students use their artistic talent to share their positive attitude and giving everyone a reason to smile as they arrive to work! Thank you ladies!!!!

Ms. Aleksandrowicz inspired students in her art class to create dioramas representing a famous artwork for the Pennsylvania Art Education Association's contest "Peep Show." The objective was to recreate a work of art and replace the elements of it with peeps! Some of the selected pieces included the American Gothic, Oiron, Mona Lisa, Starry Night and The Faithful Dog.

2020 Creative Expression Contest

New Outlook Academy recently held its annual Creative Expression Contest. Working from the 2020 JCJC Conference theme of "I Can See Change," students created posters and essays for the event. Displayed in our Training Center, staff members and faculty voted for their favorite creations. In addition, some projects have been 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.
