Students from Neoga Jr./Sr. High School got a chance to show off their environmental science skills recently by competing in this year’s Shelbyville Eco Meet. The junior high and high school teams, coached by Mrs. Brown and Mr. Ballard respectively, traveled to Lake Shelbyville in September to participate in the competition. Each team member took a series of tests on various subjects pertaining to ecology and the environment. Subjects tested on included the importance of prairie, fungi, glaciers, nuts and berries, Illinois waterfowl, and pond ecology. This year Neoga’s junior high team placed second out of 33 teams, earning them an acorn shaped plaque. Congratulations, Neoga teams!
