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.

Pretty nice.
The turn-out was great.
Sad that more Monona families did not come.
What did you expect?
My Monona family came . . . and we no longer have a middle school aged child. It was a lovely event and the school is beautiful - what a great environment for our children.
The sour points were the murmurings I heard while on the self tour; things like "well now after all these years they have to come to us".
Some people just can't let go of the us vs them mentality - It's WE!!!
I thought Mr. Hebel's speech was miss placed, ill timed and not appropriate for the forum.
I don't care anymore about the grumblings of the adults. Whatever. My kids are grown, but it's absolutely the case that the kids have always gotten along wonderfully and they will continue to do so. Making new friends in middle school is one of the high points for many MG kids. I'm from Monona and would have gone to the dedication but had another obligation on Sunday. It had nothing to do with it being in CG. Plus, most of the kids in that building will be from CG, so it's not surprising that was the crowd that was there. I think it's natural and we don't need to read too much into it. Go MG!
What did Hebl say?
The building is great and the kids are so excited! I know a lot of people put a lot of hard work into this project, and it turned out wonderfully!
Now, lets get to the work of edumakating.
This Monona family went, too. We saw a lot of friends and kids who will probably end up being our daughter's friend, too.
