An Exciting Weekend

On Friday morning, everyone left bright and early for Duluth, MN for the Upward Bound trip. On the trip, there were a few college tours: The University of Minnesota Twin Cities, Univeristy of Minnesota Duluth, and the College of St. Scholastica.



They had fun at the waterpark located at the hotel.



They visited the Planetarium at the University of Minnesota Duluth. They toured the USS Irving and got to see the inside of a coal supply ship.



On Saturday night they watched a movie at the Omnimax Theatre about the Great Lakes. In their free time they swam in Lake Superior. there was also a city tour of Duluth by a member of the Chamber of Commerece. They toured the Maritime Museum, and saw a ship come into port.



Everyone returned on Sunday and had a day of free time. Later that night everyone went out to Wylie Park to enjoy the fireworks.



On Monday, the students worked on the yearbook for about four hours. Followed by another afternoon of free time. Then the students either cleaned or got ready for the talent show. The final week of Upward Bound has started, and everyone is going to have a lot fun.
