“A BOOK IS A GIFT YOU CAN OPEN AGAIN AND AGAIN,” ~GARRISON KEILLOR

April 22, 2024

Last week, New Outlook received a generous donation of 10 boxes of books from Half Price Books’ Bethel Park location. These books will help diversify our student library to include a greater variety of perspectives and worldly views. Thank you, Half Price Books, for giving our students gifts that they can open again and again!

SWIFTIES UNITE

April 19, 2024

If you are going to watch the highest-grossing concert film of ALL TIME, you have to go BIG or go home.

And the New Outlook Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” watch party did just that. The event included cookie decorating, a selfie station, the all-important friendship bracelet making and plenty of singing and dancing.

Thanks to all of the staff who went all out to make this a truly magical day… its safe to say that “the crowd in the stands went wild.”
