Our Spring, 2020 Gold Award Winner, Cortland Henning! Cortland is also our 2020-21 Newman Civic Fellow. Cortland volunteered over 100 hours since last summer for the FDL High School Color Guard. “I helped the kids in the high school color guard with their work and drill, as well as helping with a sectional before practice. Helping the color guard is always my favorite pastime. I love helping them because I owe so much to the guard. I honestly had so much fun co-coaching these kids during the season. It has strengthened my leadership skills and it helped me bond a lot with the kids. I have also gained coaching skills that I can use in the future. Jo Ann Hall has really changed my life and made me a strong and responsible young man. I can’t thank her enough for helping me. I will continue to help them into the near future.”
President’s Award Winner
Completing 200+ hours of service learning or volunteering.
Brett Hebert, Criminal Justice*
Our amazing President’s Award winner, Brett Hebert! Brett volunteered over 200 hours during his 2 year associate degree at MPTC. Most of his hours were spent at FDL Boys and Girls Club and helping the Criminal Justice Club showcase careers in the Dream Big service project. “The power of the human mind is truly breathtaking. The mind itself can adapt to any situation it is put in and can give the power to the rest of the body to survive. The most amazing thing about the mind is that with all the power it has, it still takes nearly 20 years to end growing. While it is growing your thoughts can completely change from one year to the next. Any troubled child can completely flip a switch in the matter of a year due to the power of the human mind and possibly a little help from others. This is what my goal is with volunteering at Boys and Girls Club in FDL. It has taught me that there is no such thing as a bad child, there are just children that take a little bit more time to mature. When I see children like this, that tells me they are vulnerable to all types of things, good or bad. So, I must be the one to guide them to the light of success. Volunteering at Boys & Girls Club is by far the best decision I have ever made. It has truly given me a new meaning to life. Those kids are my meaning of life. I would do anything to protect them from any dangers and I am 100% certain that I will do everything in my power to let them know there are dangers in this world, but also so much love all around them, and that is what matters most. I am so grateful that because of the Promise Program having these requirements I now live a different life because of it. A much happier life.”
“Congratulations Brett! Thank you for being an amazing mentor for our kiddos at the Boys & Girls Club, this is a well deserved award!!” Karissa Schneider, Director of Operations Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac

Moraine Park interactive media design (IMD) student, John Stratman, has hit some remarkable online milestones.
His 8-bit trailers have created quite a stir on the internet, and among many big names in Hollywood and the film industry. The term “viral” isn’t one of John’s favorites… but, I’m not sure how else to give credit to his work that has brought in hundreds of thousands (and even millions) of views.
In honor of #SmallBusinessWeek, American Bank (formerly The American National Bank) will be introducing you to some of our local businesses this week. Today we are honored to feature Higher Grounds Coffee Shop in Beaver Dam. Take a few moments and watch the video below to learn more about Higher Grounds from the store's owner, @Cheryl Laatsch. At American Bank it's our pleasure to work with our locally owned, independent businesses.A huge thank you to the students from Moraine Park Technical College who put this video together for us!
