Recently in Fond du Lac, three presenters from the community shared information and provided practice opportunities in nutrition and stretching.
On May 1, 2018, Fond du Lac Boys and Girls Club kids in grades 5-11 were excited to meet and learn with Moraine Park IT Network Specialist student Phil Conley!
Phil was excited to showcase desktop computer building for Club kids. He said, “it’s really fun to see the kids excited about building computers and how all the wires and cables work. Hopefully I helped them learn and explore what a great career field IT can be!”
Fond du Lac Boys and Girls Club Director of Teen Services Dillon Wiese said, “Our teens had the fun opportunity to take apart and rebuild 2 computers with Mr. Phil from Moraine Park. What a fun, interactive learning experience for all those who participated! Thank you Moraine Park for this great stretch of Dream Big presentations! They were enjoyed by all and I can’t say thank you enough for the opportunities you’ve provided our teens with. I’m hoping this is something we can attempt every school year! Your clubs were all tremendous and thank you again to the students and instructors for taking time out of their schedules to help educate our youth.”
The idea for “Dream Big and Have Fun” began with the Moraine Park Technical College District Student Government President/IT Club Vice President, Phil Conley. Phil was passionate about helping kids after volunteering with the IT Club internet safety project at Boys and Girls Club last year. He had an awesome brainstorm to reach out to all the Moraine Park Clubs through Student Senate and make a plan for each one to visit the Boys & Girls Club to share some learning and fun from their programs/careers. Clubs will be featured all throughout the months of March and April. This is a great opportunity for Moraine Park students to earn service learning hours and for Fond du Lac Boys and Girls Club members to get excited about future career choices!

Meet Becky Henne, a soon-to-be graduate of the Moraine Park medical assistant program. She currently lives in Waupun with her husband and together they have five children and three grandchildren! Her hobbies include camping, walking, being outdoors, and spending time with her family.
The Waupun Fire Department has graciously allowed Moraine Park students in the entry-level firefighter and certified firefighter classes to use their training facility to practice various skill evaluations. These are vital skills and techniques to keep the fire ground safe and it provides students with the opportunity to practice what they’ve learned in the classroom.
We wish the certified firefighter candidates good luck at their upcoming state practical exams, and we extend a big thank you to the Waupun Fire Department and numerous other individuals who volunteer their time to make this training possible and safe for the students.

The Criminal Justice students brought “Bob”, handcuffs, and fingerprinting activities for Club teens to try out. What a great experience for all those who participated! A big thank you to the Moraine Park Criminal Justice students and their Instructor Joan Barfield for providing our teens with a chance to learn about this important career.”
