Dear OUTreach friend,
Happy Halloween!  We wish you a day of fun and frolicking (and not TOO much candy)!  Stop by for some fun - we'll be partying today (Walking Dead STOMP!) or if you are out trick or treating, we'll have some treats just for you. 

Plus - join us for a field trip tomorrow to see Little Shop of Horrors!  It's at 7:00 at DaVinci Academy.  

And if you didn't see Jackson's letter to all of us, we've reprinted it...please do send messages, pictures, anything that you think Jackson would enjoy while he's on the Biggest Loser Ranch.  He says he misses us - let's show him we feel the same way!

OUTreach This Thursday, November 1st

Life Coaching Workshop - this week's topic: Relationships  

Questions we'll consider: describe your boyfriend or girlfriend as if they were a character in a novel. Or, if you don't have a significant other: do I want a relationship right now? ~ What qualities would I want in a boy/girlfriend? ~  How can I meet new people?
Plus: We'll be passing out fun and fabulous journals, and Stephanie and Ariel will share stress-reducing journaling techniques!

 

Want to learn to play the PIANO?  Of course you do!  Bring a sense of adventure and your musical curiosity and let's get started!

 

 

 

4:30 - 5:30 Holiday FUNraiser committee meetings - we'll split into groups and plan and plot to create something magical and fun.  Youth: our job today is planning out educational parts of the show, like what our friends at PUT This on the Map do (look for familiar faces from our LGBT Summit!):

Reteaching Gender and Sexuality

A message from Jackson Carter!
Jackson with
Dustin Lance Black :)
Dear OUTreach Family!
Hello from the ranch! I Love and miss you all so much. It's weird to spend Wednesdays and Thursdays away from you all. I'm going crazy without you (well, crazier :)). 
 
The Ranch is so amazing it is the most beautiful place I have ever been. Every morning the birds wake you up and every night, the cyotes sing you to sleep. There are tons of trails to hike and a bunch of things to do.
 
I am learning a lot out here. it has been fun, but really hard. My trainer is kicking my butt! Luckily though, whenever I think I can't do it or feel like I want to give up. I look at my OUTreach bracelet and remember why I'm here. You guys keep me going. 
 
I hope you're all doing great and I can't wait to see you all again soon. 
Love, Jackson
 
p.s. you guys should send pictures for me to put up on my walls. Just a suggestion :)
