Glacial Drumlin School Exhibits
HBGHS has been working with the Cottage Grove Historical Society to create historical exhibits in one of the library display cases at Monona Grove School District's new Glacial Drumlin Middle School in Cottage Grove.
We have featured "School Days", "Kids Clubs", "What is it?" and "All about HBGHS". If you have kids/grandkids attending the new middle school, ask them if they have seen these exhibits. There will be more next school year.
