On Tuesday, February 8th, the Wildcats traveled to Marshall to take on the Cardinals and continue their push for the Capital South Conference Title.
The game saw a lot of energy from both teams from the start, and the Wildcats were able to take a 28-26 lead into the locker room at the half. The second half saw much of that same energy with the teams exchanging the lead throughout the half, but unfortunately for the Wildcats, the much-improved Marshall Cardinals were able to come away with a final 63-59 win over Belleville.

The New Glarus Public Library’s online local and family history collection has recently grown larger. Over 60 newsletters, researched and written by New Glarus native Bob Elmer, are now found within the Library’s website under the Local History tab. These <i>Family History Notes</i> newsletters contain hundreds of brief articles of interest to New Glarus local historians and family historians. Elmer recognized that the history of New Glarus has often been condensed into a basic narrative used by those who promote heritage tourism.

The New Glarus High School National Honor Society website now offers a place to request free help with tasks from students in the organization. If you need help with shoveling snow, going to the grocery store, or other tasks, you can fill out an online form requesting assistance with jobs around your home.
To submit a request, go to newglarus-nhs.weebly.com or call the NG High School office at (608) 527-2410.
