57 high schoolers here for Upward Bound summer camp
High school students from Alfalfa, Major and Woods counties are now on the Northwestern Oklahoma State University campus participating in the Upward Bound and Upward Bound Math and Science summer camp.

Jaunita Seevers, the program’s director, said 57 students currently are participating in the program, but the goal is to reach 100. Seevers said that it is not too late for students to get involved and participate in the classes and activities planned each week through July 18.

Seevers explained that students eligible for the free program are those known as “rising 9th or 10th graders.” To receive the greatest benefit from the program, it is recommended that students join as freshmen, so they will enjoy support through their high school graduation. Upward Bound can only register students into this program while they are of freshmen or sophomore status.
