April 2015

Eleven Jr. FCCLA members and seven High School FCCLA members attended the State Leadership Conference, along with Family and Consumer Sciences Teachers Julie Martin and Monica Schober. Students were actively involved in the conference through a variety of leadership roles. During the conference, students developed leadership qualities, were inspired by the keynote speaker and competed in a wide range of events.

The New Glarus Middle School Math Team competed at the Regional Archimedes Math Meets in Lake Mills at the end of March.  New Glarus sent two teams of eight students from grades 5-8 to the competitions.  The New Glarus teams competed against seven other teams from area schools, with the top two teams earning eligibility to move on to the Mega Math Meets, where they compete against schools from across southern Wisconsin.

Starting May 1st through May 10th, the New Glarus Optimists will be collecting outgrown and unused clothes and shoes (newborn on up), as well as sports equipment and other sports items families may not be using any longer and want to donate: i.e., cleats, footballs, rafts, fishing pools etc. and sports equipment.  There will be collection tubs at local businesses, UB&T on State Highway 69 and New Glarus Fitness Center.

On Spring Fling weekend in 2013, Marc and Tabitha Barnaby held a Grand Opening Celebration for Barnaby's Monticello House. Two years later another Grand Opening Celebration will be held to celebrate the addition of restaurant service with Gabriella's at Barnaby's Monticello House. The restaurant fits in well with the relaxed family-style atmosphere of Barnaby's Monticello House.
Shannon Sheflin is the owner of Gabriella's at Barnaby's Monticello House, as well as another restaurant also called Gabriella's in Albany.
