WELCOME NEW PARTICIPANTS We would like to congratulate Isai Martinez as a new participant. Isai attends Morton High School where he is a sophomore. Congratulations, and welcome to Upward Bound!
STUDENT REMINDERS• No tutoring the week of March 14-18. Have a great Spring Break! • Students who attend Saturday academies unprepared may be marked tardy or absent for that day which affects your stipends. Make sure you always bring your planners, pens, pencils, and homework. • Drop-off and pick-up location for Saturday Academies is in front of the Technology Center . Pick up binders and schedules before 8:25 a.m. to arrive at your first class on time at 8:30 a.m.
MARCH ACADEMY HIGHLIGHTS• All the students learned about TRIO programs in the South Plains area that prepare students for college success during a TRIO Day luncheon. Armida Rosiles, PhD., inspired the students by telling them of how Upward Bound prepared and motivated her to complete her Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral degrees. • Seniors participated in workshops about college admissions, financial aid and testing sponsored by the GO Center at SPC. Three of the seniors gave wonderful presentations that explained the purpose of Upward Bound and how it has impacted them personally. Thank you for doing such a great job! • Freshmen, sophomores and juniors completed on-line activities to improve study strategies, explore career interests. They also continued preparing for the upcoming TAKS by completing practice questions with the help of tutors. SPC UPWARD BOUND SAYS THANK YOU TO . . .
