4th grade Prairie Science Class students helped with cutting willows out of the prairie. Although willows make great habitat for a variety of wildlife species, it is also considered an invasive plant that will crowd out prairie grasses and flowers.
Students learned the importance of "Keeping the Prairie a Prairie" and were able to use leather gloves, goggles and loppers to safely cut willows and remove them from the prairie.

This fall has been busy with the Work Based Learning program! We've had tours at the Hoot Lake solar plant, the YMCA, the SCR Foundry, and had guest speakers talk about public presentations and the art of small talk and personality traits in communication.
The students have all completed their OSHA 10 safety certification and have internship placements throughout town.
