Anti-Bullying Collaborative of Sun Prairie
Dec. 21, 2021 7:15 a.m.
My name is Ginger Murray. My husband Jason (teacher at Lake Mills High School) and I moved to Sun Prairie in 2004, where we raised our family. During my childhood, I moved a lot. I can remember living in 14 different homes (rentals, extended stay hotels, single and then double-wide trailers, and homes) before graduating high school. I can remember attending at least 7 different schools. I remember what it was like to try to fit in: how great it felt to be welcomed and what it felt like when that didn’t happen. I remember what it was like to desperately want to fit in with my new basketball team (having to move to a huge city when I was an in-coming junior) and everyone on the team hating me because I was a threat to their friend’s position on the team. I remember those “teammates” making life at school pretty tough for what seemed like every day for an eternity. Since then I became a lawyer, which allowed me to serve as a guardian ad litem, city attorney, family court commissioner, and now owner of Your Family Law Center. I was honored to be asked to join what has become the Anti-Bullying Collaborative of Sun Prairie. It is my hope to draw from my personal experiences in life, and at work (as a public defender, and then later as a prosecutor, as the advocate for many children, and now for the parents) to help guide our group as we strive to make Sun Prairie a welcoming community for everyone, where bullying is not tolerated.

Her success and positive results gave her the courage to sell her company, follow her heart, and assist families full time. Christine honed her skills with the invaluable training she received as a Therapeutic Foster Parent. She parented her foster child to become an emotionally stable and loving person, which led to a happy adoption. This success ignited a deep, profound passion in her. Christine learned from the Parent Management Training model, Love and Logic, Applied Behavior Analysis, and the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions model and from books by Brene Brown and Dr. Henry Cloud. She developed and perfected her strategies while working with families using her business, child development, and behavioral psychology knowledge. Then, wanting to help more families, Christine founded Parenting Game and authored her Parenting Playbook. She also produces and hosts a TV show and podcast to support parents. She delights in helping parents win by making their homes brighter and more peaceable. As CEO of Parenting Game, her company offers support to parents through Coaching and Consulting.

Prairie Music & Arts
Feb. 01, 2022 7:15 a.m.
Kari Walton is the founder and Executive Director of Prairie Music & Arts. She has degrees in Piano Performance and Pedagogy from Lawrence University and the University of Louisville and has taught music from early childhood to adults for over thirty years. She has led Prairie Music & Arts since 1999 and manages general operations, program development, fundraising, and outreach. A belief that the arts should be accessible to all, she has created grant projects and partnerships that have served youth with artistic experiences throughout the Dane County area.
It was during her time as a high school student at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts that Kari experienced the interconnectedness of the arts. In her words, “I was fortunate to experience musicians and artists from around the world who greatly shaped my teaching and approach to the arts. Whether it’s learning a musical instrument, drawing a picture, or taking part in a play, the arts fill us up as human beings, connect us, and give us the means to express ourselves. It is my hope that Prairie Music & Arts will offer our community positive and holistic moments for artistic exploration, personal growth, and collaboration.” |
