Mrs. Peterson, one of our amazing middle school teachers:
"I went to visit my sister for 10 days on an Illinois beef cattle farm. We ate home-grown eggs, watched corn grow, and did some tourist things (Ronald Reagan childhood home tour and hiking along Rock River scenery). I drove a Gator farm vehicle to explore a ditch for some rocks. And in the airport on my return trip I met Abraham Lincoln! He approved when I told him I taught US History the past school year to three grades. Illinois is known as the "Land of Lincoln"!"
