I have been so very busy this month with school and extra-curricular activities plus things with my kids. No wonder I got sick! Coughing, fever, stuffy head, YUCK! I hope this cold does not stick around. I have too much to do!
As I stated last time, I started college at Moraine Park Technical College in January and I jumped into clubs right away to broaden my college experience. One of those activities I am in is Student Senate. I have the opportunity to become more involved within the meetings. I am trying to become a Wisconsin Student Government Meeting (WSG) member. To add to that information, I have also been elected to be the Instructional Assistant Club President! Next month I will be in charge of writing the agenda.
Tomorrow is the day I will be at a meeting for the Remodeling committee for the Beaver Dam Campus. I was picked out of a hat of other interested students. I am so grateful for this opportunity!
Don’t forget September 27th (My birthday) is the Beaver Dam Blood Drive. To donate blood, make your online appointment at www.bcw.edu/MPTCBD or call 1-877-232-4376. Walk-ins are welcome. I will be there at 10:30 AM to get poked and then I will be off to my mom’s for a birthday lunch!
Make it a great one!

The good hits keep on comin’
Hello and welcome back to The Scribbler! If you don’t already know, I am Kirsten, Moraine Park Technical College Student Blogger on the Beaver Dam campus.
As you know, I started college at Moraine Park Technical College in January and I jumped into clubs right away to broaden my college experience. One of those activities I am in is Student Senate. I now have the opportunity to become more involved with in the meetings. I am trying to become a Wisconsin Student Government Meeting (WSG) member.

I have to go to various meetings and be voted into a Government position. There was also an opportunity to be at the Student Life Remodel Meeting. The interested members of Senate had our names pulled out of a hat and my name was pulled! What great opportunities!
Make it a great one!

Fall Classes Have Begun!
Hello and welcome back to The Scribbler! I am Kirsten, one of Moraine Park Technical College’s student bloggers.. Last week summer classes ended and this week fall classes have begun. WHOOT! (This week was also the week of my three-year wedding anniversary and the week my kids returned from summer with their dad in North Carolina. BIG WEEK!)
This fall (yes it is considered fall) I am taking three classes for my Instructional Assistant program. Once again I will state it is very important to choose a program. There are so many available right now and if you are not sure what you would be good at you can take some assessment tests with an MPTC counselor. I did and it was fun to learn how I think! This fall I am taking Techniques for Reading and Language Arts, Intro to Educational Practices and Techniques for Mathematics. I have the same instructor for all three classes so that will be very helpful not having to learn three different ways of learning and organizing. (Plus I heard good things about her AND she is my academic advisor.) These classes are all online.
On Tuesday, I went to our first MPTC event on the Beaver Dam campus. It was awesome! We had an improv group come and entertain us while eating a free lunch. LOTS OF LAUGHS! We also had a chance to suggest names for MPTC’s new Mascot, the Gray Wolf. I put my idea for its name in on Tuesday.
Students will have the chance to vote for the new mascot name. Online voting will go live on Tuesday, September 6th. To vote, log into myMPTC, click on the Student Life tab, go to Student Life News and click VOTE! Name MPTC’s Gray Wolf. The Mascot name will be revealed during the week of September 19th. For Beaver Dam the name will be revealed at 11:30AM during lunch with live music by Scratch Track. For West Bend, it will be on September 20th at 4:00 PM during free pizza and for Fond Du Lac on September 21st at 1:00PM during BINGO! The name will also be revealed online on myMPTC on September 22nd.
Next Thursday will be the first Student Senate gathering. We will see and hear all about plans for the upcoming semester. I have decided to join the Instructional Assistant Club, which means I’ll no longer be part of the Multi-cultural club. I know I will only have time for one club and the IA club is my program. I will miss my MC club members but I will see them around either way!
Well, off to do homework!
Make it a great one,
Kirsten

The end of summer
Hello and welcome back to The Scribbler! I am Moraine Park Technical College’s s student blogger, Kirsten Lynch. How has your summer been?
I am done with my summer classes as of this week and I am so excited. I love school but I love a few days off as well. Fall classes are right around the corner so the small break will be perfect!
The last blog I sent out I wrote about being on a student panel for the new student orientation. It went very well! There were three 20 minute time slots that three of us sat in front of the students that were attending the orientation. We were there to answer questions the group may have had and answer the frequently asked questions the organizer had set up beforehand. It was organized to have the new students feel more comfortable and to learn what to expect from college at MPTC. There were friends of mine on the panel with me that I met in the Student Senate and in class. It was a great opportunity!
As for classes, this week I am finishing up Sociology and Psychology. I loved- loved- loved Sociology! Instead of selling my books back to the bookstore I am going to hold on to these two.
Pretty soon, my kids will be back from their trip to their dad’s house, they will be in school as will I, fall will come again and all will be right as rain.
Make it a great one!

Opportunities
Hello and welcome back to The Scribbler! If you don’t already know, I am Kirsten, Moraine Park Technical College Student Blogger on the Beaver Dam campus.
As you know, I started college at Moraine Park Technical College in January and I jumped into clubs right away to broaden my college experience. One of those clubs was Student Senate. I have had the summer off from those clubs, but the opportunities from them still are flourishing.
The Student Life Specialist suggested that I take part in the New Student Orientation as a member of their student panel. What an honor! I am signed up to do three 20-minute time slots where I, among others, will be answering questions new students may have before they start college! Thank you Lisa Manuell for having so much faith in me, it means a lot!
I will most definitely follow up with you readers and let you know how it went!
Make it a great one!

SUCCESS!
Hello and welcome back to The Scribbler! This week has been busy for us Moraine Park Technical College students while we wrap up the semester. WHOOT!!!
On Friday the Student Senate had an awards dinner in Lomira. Semi-formal dinner to recognize excellence and time volunteered. It was so much fun and such a great way to celebrate the hard work we all do for ourselves and Moraine Park! There were hundreds of students there and some of their friends and family came for support.
Getting on that stage made me feel so proud and I felt such a satisfaction with myself. One of the neat things about that is all I had to do was do my best and offer my time. How about that!?
I have my last test in math next week and if I pass it that will be my last math class FOREVER! Kudos to me for pulling through and working so hard to complete and learn the assignments! And, an even bigger kudos to my math teacher for helping me achieve my goals. Way to go!
Off to work on more homework... I have attached some pics!
Make it a great one,
Kirsten

EVENTS!
Hello and welcome back to The Scribbler! This week has been busy for us Moraine Park Technical College students!
On Tuesday we had our Last Blast on the Beaver Dam campus! Adam Ace came to Moraine Park for a wonderful game show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bndQNl4vY0E. To see a game from his past, click on the link.
We had many students come and enjoy the free pizza and the show, and dozens of students participated in the game! With the many participants, we also had many winners! They won anything from a rubber snake to Chamber of Commerce vouchers. Very cool! Congratulations to Marilyn Nohr, Jessica Backhuber and Anna Bille who won the Chamber vouchers! Way to go!!
As I wrote on Monday, I was a game show hostess. I chickened out on my plan though. I was going to go to Goodwill and buy a prom dress for my “Vanna White” job. Instead, I wore my regular clothes. As it was, I should have done the prom dress; the humor would have been recognized.
On Wednesday the Business Meeting and Event Planning class had an assignment to run a successful brat and burger fry to support the local food pantry! YUMMMMM! That class worked very hard selling brats, burgers, punch and pastries and raised over $330 for the cause!! Awesome!
Dawn Dobbratz was also there supporting PAVE. http://www.pavingtheway.net/
Students and staff were to wear jeans and donate a dollar. They would then get to wear a sticker to show they supported PAVE and to promote the drive Dawn was head of. She raised a bit over $40! Good for you, Dawn!
