At Wednesday's meeting the board tentatively scheduled open houses for the Glacial Drumlin School and the renovated Winnequah school. The Glacial Drumlin event is scheduled for Sunday August 17th and the Winnequah event for Sunday September 7th. The construction schedule prevents us from having the Winnequah event before school starts.
The Glacial Drumlin School is on or ahead of schedule although Mike Huffman reports the recent weather has delayed the landscaping. Recent pictures of the school can be found here.
The two story atrium behind the curved glass wall in the front of the building is just crying out for a big piece of art - such as a suspended mobile.

About Me
- Peter Sobol
- My family moved to Monona in 2003 and have been happily ensconsed in the Frost Woods Neighborhood ever since. I have 2 kids who graduated from Mg. I have been serving on the school board since April of 2007. We moved back to the Midwest in 2002 after spending 10 years in California, where I was a Department Director for Maxtor, a Fortune 500 company. In truth we left California largely because of the school situation - chronically underfunded schools did not offer the kind of programs or opportunities we wanted for our children. We picked Monona because our thorough research showed that this was a place we would really like to educate our kids. Our experience has taught us to value the quality schools we have here in Monona, and the importance of careful stewardship to maintain community support for those schools.

so, you are telling me there is not one hour, not two hours between know and the opening of school that I can take my family...visit the school and feel comfortable and at ease?
Time needs to be found....I have a problem wiht it and the guts of my kids will have a problem with it.
.....
Winnequah will be a contruction zone this summer, making it unsafe for kids to visit. The schedule will be very tight, and no one is willing to bet that there will be time before school starts. I know this is less than desirable, but much as we would like to have the open house before the start of the year the construction manager was not going to gaurantee that we could get it in.
