MCHS receives grant to help restore prairie

Funding will help students gain field experience at South

MINOOKA — Minooka Community High School Integrated Environmental Science teacher Matt Minich takes his freshman class outside to learn at every opportunity.

When the weather is decent, students may be outdoors studying the life of a grasshopper or checking a small animal live trap to make sure it’s baited and set correctly. They could be learning about animal immigration, population density, food webs and closed systems.
