Each year our club selects two individuals to receive the TOP TECH awards from our club – individuals who are students in the Vo-Tech who exemplify the good things that are seen in excellent students.

               This year Brie Anne Kite who is a senior in the Teaching Careers program received the award and the $500 scholarship from our club.

               Also receiving an award and scholarship was Dakota Parish in the Building Trades program.

               Brie, who was at the meeting with her mother, Angie, told us that she will start her education at MACC and then ultimately probably transfer to Buena Vista in Ottumwa to pursue her goal to become a teacher.

               Debbie Snyder who is Judy Duden’s daughter, told how her mother worked with Head Start, helped to start the infant-toddler center as the director.

               Because of the program, individuals who study in this area can achieve being a National Child Director Associate which opens job opportunities in many places.

               All of this was expanded to the Teaching Careers program, which offers college level classes in the area of teacher preparation.

               Debbie told us how Brie had been assigned to assist in Mrs. Quigley’s Kingergarten class. Mrs. Quigley was named “Teacher of the Year” and is retiring this year because of health problems.  Mrs. Quigley said that Brie carried her classroom in her absence, even when there was a substitute teacher there.

               She pointed out that the University of Missouri accepts only 18 students in such a program – but also noted that students finishing the program in the Tech Center would be qualified to enter that program.
