The Madras Students selected to attend Upon completion of the 1998-99 school year seven students from Warm Springs will be looking forward to attending the Upward Bound Program at the University of Colorado. Returning students include: Larry Squiemphen, Cecelia Herrera, James Johnson. New students selected are Tianna Greene, Alfred Estimo, ShamonaCharlcy and Martha Alvarez. They will attend Upward Bound Summer Academy beginning June 1 1 to July 25, 1999. They will be continuing to learn more through this summer academy. They will live in a sorority house and go to regular classes daily. The mission of CU Upward Bound (CUUB) is to ensure that each participant is recognized, respected, understood, heard, and is shown the path for educational success. CUUB believe that the student participants, in order to bring their communities and families to new levels of success, need the opportunities that come from higher education. CU Upward bound recognizes that success beyond the secondary level requires skills in addition to what students are receiving from their communities, both in the academic and social emotional arenas. CUUB strongly believes that our students bring with them cultural knowledge as well as learned abilities that must be tapped and strengthened in order for all our graduates to enter new environments with confidence, pride and comfort while negotiating new challenges. Therefore, CUUB acts as a bridge for high school students living in rural, mostly American Indian communities, helping each individual experience and prevail in a more complex and diverse environment. These bridges are built through the development and strengthening of academic, and socialemotional' skills, cultural identity, as well as an understanding of how post-secondary community function. CUUB is funded by the United States Department of Education. It's purpose is to prepare participating students for success in post secondary education (four-year institutions, two-year institutions, technical institutions, and so on). The program places special emphasis on post-secondary entry through individualized academic instruction and counseling. The emphasis stems from the critical need for increased motivation and supplemental academic assistance. Academic instruction is mainly accomplished during the summer academic institute. However; a minimal amount of academic work is required for the students on a monthly basis during the school year (termed the "Academic Year"). The monthly assignments vary depending on the skills and abilities of each student. The majority of the academic counseling will also be accomplished Graduates from Sherman Indian School in J I IP - ? ' . ! ' I 1 I .J; , ; V. Y..

Students are drawn from sixteen targeted communities that are on or near major Indian reservations. Each year CUUB works with approximately 80-105 students, either during the summer academic institute or the academic year component. Every student that lives in the specified targeted area is eligible to apply. However, they preferto recruit students who are now in the ninth grade, with some allowances for upper level students depending on prospective applicants from any given area. This plan provides students with the opportunity to work with CUUB for two or three years before high school graduation. Each year, they recruit to fill spaces being vacated by graduating seniors and those students now continuing in the program. This year there was approximately 25-30 openings. Upward bound students will complete monthly assignments mailed from the Boulder office. These assignments continue to challenge the students while they are away from the summer progam and keep them current on their college track. These assignments are graded and sent back with commentary to1 the students. Satisfactory completion of,jthese -assignments is required for receiving monthly stipends.

They look forward to Fourth of July at Folsom Stadium where the fireworks display is so big "it makes to one in springs look small." Why attend Upward Bound? "I wanted to go because it was fun and I had a cousin that went. He just really told me that I should go because it's a really good program." James Johnson, graduating senior. "When Lindy, the director, came todo the orientation he made it sound fun and education and it's forcollege bound kids. Since there are hardly any Indian kids on the rez going to college and making a success I thought, I should be one of the people to do it." Cecelia Herrera, Sophomore. She goes on to say, "Upward Bound is a good program and I would encourage oncoming sophomore and freshman to at least try and apply and do good in school because it s worth it. Because when you come back from there you have more experience of meeting new people, living in sorority houses and being on a college campus. You feel different and better when you come back home. You feel you've accomplished something, that's how I felt. And your teachers look at you different, like you have higher expectations. They give you attention. They know you're a person that want's something out of life." I went because of my cousin Taralee who went for three years. I feel the same as Cece, because all the skins don't go to school, make it through college. I want to do better than my mom and dad," Lawrence Squiemphen, Jr., Sophomore. "I'm a freshman, I wanted to go because when they first introduced the Upward Bound to our school again it sounded like fun. I'd be the first one to try to graduate college, that's what I hope to do. Because I would go somewhere, meet people, and it sounded like it would help me out education wise for school next year, and I would get partial credits already. So it'll be like preparing me for the challenges of college," Tianna Greene, Freshman. While these students are away from home they miss activities that may be going on here, like the longhouse, Pi-Ume-Sha but they are experiencing college life and expanding on their education. While there they develop a bond and friendship with each other and see each other's expectations in life where their education is concerned. When summer academy ends' the ) program does hot end for these students. They continue through the next school year until they graduate. After graduation Upward Bound will be tracking these students while they continue with their education in college. California Congratulations to Nicole Marie.
