Our programs for February are in full swing! This week, we will get together (virtually) for Academic Saturday. Our motivated students meet with our dedicated instructors for a great morning of learning! Students receive extra help in Spanish, Math, and Science and also get help with college and career readiness.

If you are (or know of) a current 8th-10th grader in Pottstown or Norristown school district who would be a great fit for Upward Bound, check out our application on the MCCC website or message us for more info www.mc3.edu/UB

Upward Bound is busy in the Virtual Space! Once a month, we get together to discuss an important topic with real life relevance for our students. Some of our past topics have been understanding the election process and how to budget and handle money.

This month, our program Coordinator will be helping students navigate the course selection process in high school and into college!

If you are or know of a current 8th to 11th grade Pottstown or Norristown High school student who is a great candidate for Upward Bound, message us or check out Upward Bound on the Montco website: www.mc3./ub

After Biden was sworn in as the nation’s 46th president, Gorman read “The Hill We Climb,” building on a tradition of poets -- including Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, Elizabeth Alexander and Richard Blanco -- who have read for incoming Democratic presidents.
