Saturday, March 31 - Be there!

Tuesday, March 27, 2007
This program IS NOT the same as last year's or previous years' programs. We have a new presenter and new topics will be covered. Yes, it's the same High Roller, but doubtless there will be NEW SONGS played. We need to know NOW - please call us at 785-8539.

REPEAT: Summer paperwork is DUE NOW!!!

Thursday, March 22, 2007
We really, really, really need your summer paperwork NOW. We need to finish scheduling classes, reserving facilities and hiring teachers - all this depends on YOU!

If you need new paperwork, please email Cathy or download forms from the web site.

Summer UB will help you retain and enhance your academic skills so you'll be ready to excel in school next year. According to the Johns Hopkins Center for Summer Learning, "on average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of grade-level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months," and "low-income children and youth experience greater summer learning losses than their higher income peers."

Every summer thousands of parents pay big money so their students can attend summer enrichment classes. They know it will help students do better in school, improve their study skills and enhance their chances of success in college. Summer Upward Bound is FREE and our graduates tell us time and again that it really helps them be successful in college.

Don't let this happen to you! Get those summer papers in NOW!

Summer Paperwork Due NOW!

Friday, March 02, 2007
We are still missing summer planning surveys and summer paperwork from many of you. We must have this NOW so we can schedule classes, reserve rooms, hire teachers and tutors, plan meals and more.

Most of you have received at least two copies of the planning survey and one set of other summer paperwork. If you still can't find it, it's online at the UB website. Go to www.uwlax.edu/upbound/forms.htm and get either the .pdf version (requires Acrobat Reader) or the Word.doc version.

Do it this weekend and bring your completed papers to tutoring next week!!!!
