If you happened to pass the Sparta High School on March 15th you may have seen a herd of third graders and teenagers wandering across the school"s prairie. At first glance it may seem a bit strange that these two age groups were mingling, but it's not so odd once you know why. As many of you know, the prairie was burned about a year ago to rid it of invasive species. In an attempt to restore it to a beautiful native prairie ecosystem, Mrs. Spaans, Mrs. McKinley, and Mrs. Blackall teamed together and had their students spread native grass seeds across the prairie. So while it may have looked a bit weird to see those two groups waltzing across the hillside, it was for a good cause, helping the environment.
