In collaboration with The Nature Conservancy at Indian Boundary Prairies in Markham, IL, students from our Environmental Investigations classes had the opportunity to visit Paintbrush Prairie and discover the incredible treasure we have right here in our community.

While the original plan was to participate in a butterfly feeding event, the monarchs were not available. The Nature Conservancy quickly rescheduled activities, which resulted in some amazing new experiences for our students! They learned about the vital role prairies play in our environment, explored plant and animal species unique to this habitat, and gained insight into invasive species—along with the ongoing efforts by The Nature Conservancy and the Illinois Department of Transportation to control their spread.

Students also had the chance to walk through the prairie and collect samples for observation. Following their time at Paintbrush Prairie, they visited Oak Forest High School to observe the prairie restoration work in progress along 151st Street.

Having access to these sites as part of their studies allows students to engage in authentic, hands-on learning while deepening their understanding of local environments and habitats.

"Start With Hello Week" ended w/Mellow Yellow Friday - popcorn & a movie during lunches while students wrote compliment cards to others. A very special THANK YOU to the OF Social Workers who brought Bengal Nation together this week w/all the positive messages & smiles!

Mrs. Hellinga & her chemistry class ventured outside today where they enjoyed the nice cool weather & worked on their precision & accuracy lab.
