UPWARD BOUND Today's Investment... Tomorrow's gain.

Winter 2015

Greetings Upward Bound Parents and Students:

I hope this newsletter finds each of you in good health and strength. It's the most wonderful time of the year! It's the Christmas and winter season: a time of joy, family, and much excitement. This can also be a time of sadness for those who have lost loved ones or struggle with depression or loneliness during this season. Let's make sure we spread joy and warmth to others and try to love on those who might be in need.

I know many of you expect from me a reminder about striving to maintain the best grades and UB attendance as possible. While doing so is important, it is also important for us to make sure we strive to show love to those in need and to those who are less fortunate during this time. The holiday season is about love. If you watch the news, it seems the message of love is waxing cold in the world today. But, it all starts with each of us with a simple act of kindness such as giving someone a warm smile, donating food to the homeless shelter, visiting the nursing homes and hospitals, encouraging someone who feels sad, lost or depressed.

There are so many ways to share love to one another and even those we don't know. But, it begins with one simple act. I hope that in some form or fashion the Upward Bound staff have shown love to our parents and/or students. It is important for each of our students to know much they are loved and appreciated. We value all of you and as we go into the new year, remember that while doing your very best at school is important, showing love to others is more important than anything in this world!
