As the lo- cal children were planning their favorite costumes in preparation of an evening full of Trick or Treat fun, a group of Al Ken- nedy High School students pre- pared for a “Reverse Trick or Treat” event. The idea of “Reverse Trick or Treat” was the idea of Brooke Ormsbee. Brooke gradu- ated from Cottage Grove High School in 2015 and then entered the WIOA program (Workforce Innovation Opportunity Act), which provides worksite and career training. She wanted a way for high school students to give back to the community. She wanted a way to provide some Halloween fun for those who were not able to go out and enjoy the Trick or Treating experience. She came up with the thought to go to the pediat- ric ward in a hospital and bring Halloween to the children who, due to illness, would be missing out. This was where “Reverse Trick or Treat” was born. Working with the staff at Al Kennedy High School, a trip was planned to visit RiverBend Hospital’s Pediatric Unit. Local businesses were contacted and they generously donated candy, books, and Halloween trinkets. The Al Kennedy students who participated in “Reverse Trick or Treat” dressed up in costumes and went to visit the pediatric unit individual patient rooms where they gave out candy. One student stated, “When we went to visit the hospital it made my heart happy to know we had the opportunity to give to people that didn’t have the chance to trick or treat. We made some of these patients’ day and it brought me pure joy to see smiles on their faces.” Anoth- er student said, “It was a very Desserts 725 Row River Rd.

Who would have thought that a little bag of candy would make them happy? What really caught my eye was how sweet the nurses were and how they talked to their patients and interacted with them. You could really tell that they cared about each and every one of their pa- tients. My favorite part of the trip was seeing the smiles and surprised looks from every pa- tient and you could tell they re- ally appreciated it.” After walking through the pe- diatric rooms, the students also got to see the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) where they were able to learn how babies born premature are cared for. While there, the students also learned about the various health- care roles that create the health care team. Learning about the various careers sparked some interest in the students. Before heading back to Al Kennedy High School, the stu- dents also paid a visit to London School Elementary School and visited a Kindergarten class. The high school students helped the children plant garlic. One student refl ects, “I got to bond with this one little girl. She was the sweetest little thing. We all helped to plant garlic cloves and it was cool because that was my fi rst time planting garlic. You learn something new every day and it puts a smile on my face after all we did today. I had a re- ally good time.” COUPON COUPON COUPON COUPON COUPON COUPON COUPON COUPON COUPON COUPON COUPON 20% OFF One regular priced Gift item or Boutique Clothing item November 9-15, 2016 The Flower Basket and Gift Boutique A flower shop and so much more... 6RXWKWK6WUHHW Please present coupon at the time of purchase for discount 2 for !!""#"$%&'()" "& !&*+"" &'+&,$'& -'"& "."+')"&,$& / & * "!+ Monday-Friday Lunch Special 11am-3pm Tuesday at the Bar’n Together, let's share in giving!
