“I’m running now for the U.S. Senate because it’s harder now for kids growing up in struggling families all across Georgia, and all across our country, than it was for me,” he remarked. “I want to create opportunity. I think the wealthy and the well connected are pretty well taken care of in terms of representation in Washington. They don’t suffer from lack of representation.

North Central Missouri College Upward Bound students recently participated in a community service project at their virtual December Extreme Saturday event. During this event, the students made holiday wreaths for the Sunnyview Nursing Home in Trenton, MO. Upward Bound high school students from Trenton, Hamilton, Jamesport, Galt, Chillicothe, and Gallatin participated.
“With not being able to have December Extreme Saturday in person, we wanted to do something to help the community in some way during the holidays, so we came up with making door decorations for Sunnyview Nursing Home in Trenton,” said Carmen Austin, Upward Bound Program Coordinator. “We wanted to come up with something different and fun to get the students more engaged while being virtual. The students enjoyed the activity because it was crafty and different from what we usually do.”
