Community Invited to Upward Bound Presentation Night
The community is invited to join the 2007 Upward Bound Summer Academy students
at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 25 for presentations of the work they’ve
been doing for the past six weeks. The event is free of charge and will
be held in the Performing Arts Center, located at the corner of 16th and
Franklin Streets in Astoria.
Projects to be displayed at during the presentations are:
• A Bilingual Safety Book
• Wetlands Restoration
• Creative Arts Exploration
• Photojournalism and Travel Writing
• Shively Park Restoration
Upward Bound is a federally funded program designed to increase the rate
at which participants complete secondary education and enroll in and
graduate from institutions of postsecondary education.
CCC’s Upward Bound Program focuses on students from Astoria, Seaside
and Warrenton high schools from families who meet a federal income limit
and whose parents do not have baccalaureate degrees—students most
likely to need help getting through the college process.
Students who participate in Upward Bound are three times more likely
to go on to college as those from the same background who don’t participate
in the program.
For more information, please contact Program Assistant Janet Miltenberger
