WLB students enjoy a day of making slime for a good cause

 

[May 02, 2024] 

WLB students and faculty participated in slime day April 30, 2024. Stations were set up for students to make their own slime. Each station had bowls and spatulas and students were instructed on the slime making process. They got to choose from two colors “Calla Spark” or “Calla Glow.” Both options glow in the dark. Calla Spark has hot pink glitter and is scented with a warm amber scent. Calla Glow has blue rocks and is scented with a gentle rain scent.

Calla Woods started Look Out For The Left Out in 2019, when she was in third grade to support at risk children in Romania. Calla had a dream to serve with Forget Me Not ministries. Early in the summer of 2019 Calla was diagnosed with a rare brain cancer. She fought for eight weeks before she was taken Home by her King.

Her parents, Ben and Crystal Woods travel to schools teaching Calla’s message that you don’t have to be a grown up to change the world. They have visited more than 70 schools with that message and have made slime with over a dozen groups of kids now.

Bethany Rademaker, Vice president of the WLB PTO said that this activity helps teach empathy, compassion, kindness, and inclusion and that WLB was proud to bring those qualities to the kids in our community. A family slime party is planned for Tuesday evening at WLB.

Proceeds from the sale of slime and merchandise go to fund “Casa Calla”, in Romania, a special project for at risk teens.

If you are interested in supporting Calla’s mission you can visit her website www.thebravewayhome.com, her Facebook page @thebravewayhome or LOOKOUTFORTHELEFTOUT.COM.
