The High Five 4 College Program High Five 4 College was created in 2011 as an in-school and after school mentoring program for John Muir Middle School, Horace Mann Middle School, and D.C. Everest Junior high and Middle schools. The purpose of the program is to build awareness among under-privileged children of their opportunities after high school and to strengthen student skills toward that goal. From September 2014 to May 2015, High Five has created fun and educational programming as well as interactive activities for our local middle schools. We held meetings twice a week for John Muir and Horace Mann and once a week for D.C. Everest Middle and Junior High from 3:00pm to 4:15pm. John Muir meets Tuesdays and Thursdays and Horace Mann meets Mondays and Wednesdays. D.C. Everest Middle meets Wednesdays and the Junior high meets Mondays. During these meetings, our students participated in activities that will develop their skills and challenge them to become better leaders. Students who regularly attend the program after school can earn the opportunity to go on college visits to several different colleges as well as various recreational outings throughout the year. Our focus for this year has been STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and promoting STEM concepts and careers and a variety of life skills topics. We have intertwined these elements into our programming that ranged from storytelling to building rockets to teambuilding and inclusion. For more information on activities and lessons we’ve done this year, look to page 15 of this report. High Five 4 College also works closely with AmeriCorps North Central Community Action Program of the Greater Wausau Area (NCCAP-GWA), the Department of Public Instruction (DPI), the Wausau School District, UW-Marathon County and the Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy and Service (WIPPS) in helping secure College student mentors and tutors and usage of its facilities.

The High Five Experience To create a fun learning experience for our students, High Five has used a variety of ways available to us to engage our students. We reached out to professionals and organizations in the area to become guest speakers, we went on field trips to local business tours to learn about job opportunities, and we became involved in our community. We believe that by incorporating these ideas along with classroom programming, we can give our students the best experience and opportunities to be successful in school, at home and beyond.

Business Tours The goal of the business tours was to give the students a chance to learn about different organizations and understanding how they operate. We also wanted these experiences to inspire students to consider careers in our area. We visited Miron Construction who built the Dudley Tower in Wausau and learned about the process of how a building gets built through thoughtful planning and computer design. We visited the Wausau Hydro Plant and learned about how water is converted to spin the turbine that generates electricity. The following is a list of our business tours:

These students range from 12-15 year olds in grades 6-9 having free/reduced lunch and/or are EIP students under the Gear UP program. The breakdown of our students at each school is as follows: John Muir Middle School:

57 total meetings*

110 students in all who attended High Five at least once.

64 students or 58% of students in all attended at least 50% of the time.

44 students or 40% of students in all attended at least 75% of the time.

Horace Mann Middle School:

52 total meetings

68 students in all who attended High Five at least once.

22 students or 32% of students in all attended at least 50% of the time.

11 students or 16% of students in all attended at least 75% of the time.

D.C. Everest Middle School:

29 total meetings*

41 students in all who attended High Five at least once.

23 students or 56% of students in all attended at least 50% of the time.

11 students or 27% of students in all attended at least 75% of the time. D.C. Everest Junior High:

32 total meetings*

34 students in all who attended High Five at least once.

9 students or 26% of students in all attended at least 50% of the time.

3 students or 1% of students in all attended at least 75% of the time. High Five 4 College:

69 students or 27% of students in all attended at least 75% of the time. *Includes Art Connection meetings (4-6 weeks of Art activities at Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum).

Notes: Between John Muir and D.C. Everest Middle, both schools have been very consistent with an attendance, with a rate of 52% and 56% respectively. Meaning more than half of the total students attending High Five at those schools have attended at least 50% of the time. The lower amount of attendance is most likely due to other after school programs or sports occurring at the same time.

Meet our High Five 4 College Coordinators This year we have two coordinators that have been involved in the planning of lessons and programming, management of mentors, and facilitation of High Five’s activities. The success of High Five is based on the leadership of these coordinators. They are:

Kou Vang, JMMS/DCE/DCJ Coordinator

Leo Moua, HMMS Coordinator

Kou Vang: My name is Kou Vang and I received my Bachelor’s degrees in Japanese and Asian Studies from UW-Madison in 2012. This year, I served as the High Five Coordinator at DC Everest Middle School, DC Everest Junior High and John Muir Middle School. High Five has, no pun intended, hands down changed my life. I am so fortunate to have had a wonderful team to work with and such kind and respectful students. I did not go to school to become a teacher, but I have discovered a true passion for helping students grow and learn and be comfortable in their own skin. As the year came to an end, I found the word I had been looking for all year to describe High Five: family. We have become such a tight-knit, loving family and I am so proud of how much

we’ve all grown. Because of this year, I feel so much more confident moving forward into Peace Corps service in June. Kou is an AmeriCorps member through the North Central Community Action Program of the Greater Wausau Area and works directly with the Department of Public Instruction for 2014-2015. Leo Moua: My name is Leo Moua and I am a 2012 graduate of UW-Green Bay. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Public Administration with minors in Political Science, Environmental Policy & Planning and Urban Studies. High Five 4 College has been a great experience for me and one that I will treasure for a long time. The students, the mentors, and staff all helped create this experience and with it, all the memories we made. What I liked the most with this experience is the opportunity to create fun and educational lessons that ours students can enjoy. For me, as long as our students are smiling and enjoying High Five, my job is complete. After I leave my role as High Five Coordinator, I will continue working as a Research Assistant with WIPPS. I will also be volunteering as the Teen Advisor for the Robert W. Monk Gardens and helping establish a Teen Gardening Club. Leo is an LTE with the Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy and Service (WIPPS) and Department of Public Instruction.

Meet our Mentors For the 2014-2015 year, we had a total of 10 mentors with the majority being UW-Marathon County students. These mentors were placed between John Muir, Horace Mann, and D.C. Everest Junior High and Middle school depending on their schedules. Our program is unique in that our college students have direct contact with our students through in school tutoring and after school mentoring with High Five. This relationship allows our High Five students to establish a connection to college students and as a precollege program, help increase college awareness. These are our mentors:

Jayme Conklin, JMMS/DCE Johanna Paulson, JMMS/DCE Luke Rudolph, JMMS/DCE Jimmy Her, JMMS Kong Chee Xiong, JMMS Julie Yang, HMMS/JMMS Katlynn Hafeman, HMMS/JMMS Lauren Lange, HMMS Chang Thao, HMMS Amber Millenbah, HMMS

In tutoring, our mentors are mostly involved in helping students with reading and math and assisting Teachers during a class or team study. During High Five, mentors assist the High Five Coordinators with lessons and provide mentorship for students. In all, our mentors have a combined 1540.75 hours of service over the course of the school year. That comes to:

On average 154 hours per mentor.

On average 171 hours of mentoring and tutoring a month.

On average 6 hours of mentoring and tutoring per day.

Amber Millenbah: Hi, my name is Amber Millenbah, I am currently attending UW Marathon County for my second year and transferring out next fall to go to UW Oshkosh to major in Elementary Education. High Five for college was a great experience for me in the Montessori school, I am considering on majoring in Early Childhood instead of Elementary Education. I have made friendships with the students in High Five and it was a great group to have for the experience. I hope to continue this path for my future career.

Julie Yang: My name is Julie Yang. I am going to be sophomore at UWMC. I am undecided about my major but leaning towards the business field. I am really glad that I was able to be a mentor to the students. They have helped me learn about many things. All the kids are really fun to be with. They try their best and also have fun going through activities. I wasn't much of a leader before High Five, but being a part of High Five I felt that I have improved my leadership skills and becoming more of a leader.

Katlynn Hafeman: Hello, my name is Katlynn. I am a sophomore at UW-Marathon County and I will be transferring to UW-Stevens Point next fall. My intended major is Education with a minor in Special Needs. I really enjoy high five and getting to know the students and get them thinking about college. I also loved tutoring in the classroom, it was a great learning experience and I hope to continue with this program next year!

Chang Thao: Hi my name is Chang Thao, I am currently a Freshman at the University of Wisconsin Marathon County. I plan to transfer after two years to the University of Wisconsin Madison. I am still undecided for what I want to major in. My experience with High five for college has been a phenomenal time and I will surely love to continue on forward. Being part of the High five for college program, it has given me a big experience working with Middle school students and seeking for their own excellence and preparation towards college.

Lauren Lange: Hi my name is Lauren Lange. I am currently attending the University of Marathon County and will be a sophomore next fall. I plan on double majoring in Music and English Secondary Education. Outside of the classroom I enjoy volunteering, playing my instruments, skiing, biking, kayaking, singing, and most of all inspiring young children. High Five for College has been a great experience for me as it has allowed me to develop my leadership skills, teaching abilities, and communication skills among students. Not only has High Five for College been instrumental in my growth as an aspiring teacher, but it has also been a lot of fun working with each student and getting to know their personal interests and

strengths. Ultimately, High Five for college has been an excellent experience for me and I would like to thank each of the students for their enthusiasm and smiles they have shared with me throughout the year. Jayme Conklin: My name is Jayme Conklin and I have recently finished my junior year of college. I previously attended the UWMC for the last 3 years and will be attending UW- Stevens Point in Fall of 2015. I plan to major in Social work within the realm of Developmental Disabilities. This past school year I had the opportunity to join the High Five for College program, and serve as a mentor and tutor for middle schoolers within the DC Everest and John Muir school districts. This experience was one to truly remember. Throughout the year I had the ability to work within different classrooms as a tutor. My classrooms ranged from a 6-8th grade special education room, to 8th grade algebra, and lastly 6th grade science. Through my tutoring experience I was able to assist several individuals with their work and watch them progress throughout the year, which was truly rewarding. Beyond my role as a tutor, I was fortunate to serve as a mentor for the after school program. As a mentor I had the ability to assist with different events and activities designed especially for the students that targeted

the endless possibilities that the future of higher education contains. Through these activities I was able to witness the students gain team-building skills and obtain leadership qualities. Most importantly, I was able to create friendships with the students and help them discover their own unique talents and abilities. Overall, the High Five for College program is a great resource for young students that provide insight regarding all the opportunities offered with a higher education. Most of all, I think it's a great program that promotes self-discovery and leaves students intrigued and excited for their future, and I'm truly grateful I was able to be a part of the program and serve the students. This experience has shown me the value of opportunity and how important it is to invest into the well-being of each student. It has taught me the importance of maximizing a student’s potential and providing them with resources to will help them flourish. This experience has also left me appreciative of all the hard work and dedication the Wausau School District and High Five for College supervisors and coordinators have put in to make this program a success. Lastly, this experience has taught me the value of community service and how we as college students and members of the community must do our part to help equip our future generations for success.

Jimmy Her: My name is Jimmy Her and I am a Sophomore attending UW-Marathon County continuing at UW-Marathon County. The major I’d like to go into is Human Resource Management. My experience with High Five was amazing! At first, I was really nervous because I just got hired half way through the year. However, the kids were really welcoming and that made it felt much more comfortable. Also, the mentors were quite kind and connected with me fast with tips and advice. Having to teach and connect with the kids are truly a blessing. The ability to work with students and teach them about college life will

make such an impact on them especially if they have awesome mentors and supervisors like this year. High Five really made me open up to students, my fellow mentors, and my supervisors by expressing my different and unique characteristics and experiences to each and every one of them. This experience was probably one of the best experiences I ever had during my busy college life. I will truly miss the students, mentors, supervisors, and the program itself and hope to come back next year! Kong Chee Xiong: My name is Kong Chee Xiong and I am a freshman in college at UW-Marathon County, majoring in Education and Teaching. Thanks to my experience with High Five this past year I have learned the joy of helping kids. Just like how the kids here at High Five have impacted me I hope I have done the same for them as well. Before my experience with High Five I was scared of becoming a teacher, unsure of whether I had the patience and time for students. After mentoring and tutoring over the past year though I have found that I love being with and teaching students. High Five has definitely been a wonderful experience for me.
