Successes

Well, I'd be lying to you if I said I couldn't be prouder as mushy as that is. Friday was a wonderful day of celebration as I watched 5th grade students step up to the plate to show other students a good time and to talk about their Make A Difference Day Project. Equally impressive was the amount of time, effort, and no doubt, love that went into the carnival and its success. Bravo, Outlook.

Congratulations to the fifth graders at Outlook who worked so hard to collect hats for the Make a Difference Day project. More than 1,500 hats were collected by the students and sent to four hospitals that work with children who experience hair loss from cancer treatment.
The fifth graders celebrated their accomplishment on October 27th. Two local television stations covered the event. In a special tribute, four young men had their heads shaved in honor of children everywhere battling cancer. Four young ladies got haircuts and donated their hair to Locks For Love, a group that makes wigs out of donated hair for children experiencing hair loss.

To all the parents and community members that donated time, resources, and effort, we can't thank you enough. I've included a few picts from the events.

Cheers,
Mr. Bowman
