The burn extended beyond the end of the school day and many students remained with their parents afterward to watch the fires dwindle away. This practice is known as “prescribed burning” and helps our prairie grasses thrive. More information on prescribed burning can be found at at the Illinois Department of Natural Resources here.

Parents – we still need a few volunteers for the festival, so please check the sign-up board in the lobby if you’d like to help.

Speaking of helping out, the Building and Grounds committee is looking for loving hands to tend our school grounds before the festival.  Please contact Christine Grafft to let her know when you might be able to lend some assistance.
