Through a generous in-kind donation of softball equipment from the MLB-MLBPA Youth Development Foundation, New Outlook hosted its first students and faculty softball game! Sunshine and smiles were plentiful as we celebrated the start of summer and some great plays. The donated equipment will be put to good use for many summers to come.
Huge thank you to Y108 and Audacy for making this young lady’s dream come true! Since she was 10 years old, Kaylee has aspired to be a radio broadcaster in the country music industry. Y108 brought her one step closer when she toured their studio, snacked on donuts and sat in on the Y’d Awake Morning Show with Amanda and Cale. She even sounded like a natural when they gave her the opportunity to go live on the air…
Hey #lukecombs you are her fav… our girl might deserve a shout out!!!
Ten young ladies have chosen to participate in this summer-long weekly education program aimed at preventing and reducing tobacco use and increasing education about tobacco hazards and secondhand smoke.
KidsGardening.org and Scotts MiracleGro recently awarded New Outlook the #GroMoreGood Grassroots Grant. This amazing support will allow us to plant an even larger array of fruits and vegetables this year, including the tomatoes students planted in our raised garden beds just last week. We can’t wait to share what sprouts up this growing season! 
A year ago, the W.I. Patterson Charitable Fund provided a wonderful donation to the New Outlook Academy Prosocial Fund. These contributions allow our students to participate in engaging and enriching activities. For many, it is the first time they have enjoyed such experiences.
171 students participated in at least one of the following activities, which were funded, in part, by the generosity of the W.I. Patterson Charitable Fund:
* crochet and knitting projects
* food truck catering for 100 attendees at the New Outlook Fall Festival
* ServSafe Food Manager Certification for 10 students
* Kona Ice Truck for all students
* birthday cakes for the whole school to celebrate 43 different student birthdays.
Thank you, W.I. Patterson Charitable Fund, for the smiles and experiences you helped us give our students! #EnrichingLives#smile

Book Club had an exciting visitor at their movie showing last week! For many students, it was their first time meeting a dino in the flesh and watching the original Jurassic Park movie. New adventures await with the Club’s next book 
8th grade students in Mr. Aquadro’s class utilized virtual reality to visit Brazil last week. They toured the city of Sao Paulo, the Amazon River and the Rainforest… they also got up close and personal with a poisonous dart frog… thank goodness that was only a VR experience!!!
