Learning all day, rolling all night! 🛼 After a full day of classes, our Upward Bound students had the opportunity to unwind, have fun, and enjoy some time together at the skating rink.

Today, our students stepped into the role of scientists and healthcare professionals as they dissected sheep hearts in anatomy class. 🫀🔬 Experiences like these build confidence, spark curiosity, and inspire future career paths.

Our WVSU Upward Bound juniors chose to spend part of their Saturday investing in their future during our Upward Bound Saturday Session! 🎓📚

Students worked with Ms. Mannina on SAT preparation as they gear up for school testing on April 15. Their dedication, focus, and commitment to academic success do not go unnoticed—we are so proud of them!

Hard work now = opportunities later 💪✨
