Coach Travis Sysko commented, “I thought we played real well in spurts tonight.  Our defense really picked up toward the end of the 1st half and we were able to make a nice run and break open a close game.  Thought we had great balance on the offensive end, with four guys in double figures.”

The New Glarus School District and each of the individual schools in the district earned 4 or 5 stars on the state report cards recently released from the Department of Public Instruction.

The Village of New Glarus will be changing garbage/recycling haulers starting in January of 2018. Due to cost efficiencies, the Village will switch from our current provider, Advanced Disposal, to Pellitteri Waste System. <strong>With this change in providers come a change in the weekly pickup date from Friday to Monday as well as a switch to automated pick-up of both trash and recycling. </strong> Pelletteri Waste Systems will be delivering the new trash carts beginning December 13th. Residents will continue to use their current recycling carts.
