After learning that Illinois didn't have an official State Rock, a group of suburban middle school students with a passion for geology were able to change that. @BpopeTV tells us more about the students that made Dolostone the newly-official State Rock.

Today I was joined by a very special group of students to declare Dolostone as the official rock of Illinois! This group of geological prodigies and future state leaders are setting a great example for our state by lifting up their voices to enact change.

So we don't have a state spider. No big. We do however have a state rock (once @JBPritzker signs the bill into law). We can thank a group of diligent Burr Ridge @PdaleSD 5th graders and their rockstar science teacher @JenLauermann! Read on. chicagotribune.com/people/ct…

Like Charlie Brown on Halloween, Illinois got a rock, thanks to students at Pleasantdale Middle...

You can thank Pleasantdale Middle School fifth graders for making sure Illinois had an official state rock. And you can also thank them for making sure coal was not chosen for said state rock. Yes,...

Last year, I spoke on the House floor about @JenLauermann's 5th-grade class working to make Dolostone Illinois’ official state rock. This week, I visited their class to congratulate them on sending a bill to Governor Pritzker's desk to do just that.

Today our students were visited by US Congressman @SeanCasten as he celebrated their accomplishment of getting a state rock passed through the Illinois senate and the house. What a great experience for our students and school! @PdalePrincipal @JenLauermann

PEAT, Pleasantdale Environmental Action Team, has been partnering with Trex, to keep as much plastic out of landfills as possible. To date, the team has collected, sorted, and weighed 226 POUNDS of plastic! 150 pounds this year alone! @PdaleSD @JenLauermann

When a “rock"-star 5th-grade class & science teacher discovered Illinois has no state rock, they conducted research, held an election, & recommended Dolostone to be Illinois' State Rock. I addressed the House in honor of the great teachers and students committed to science.
