April 10, 2026 Local Stories in and Around St. Joseph, Illinois

Kids say…

Every week we ask five students from a local school to answer a question on a worksheet.

This week the students are second graders at Prairieview-Ogden South. This post is sponsored by Longview Bank.

Sydney: Corn, carrots, and tomatoes

Madison: Crops, animals

Dorian: A corn feald and a pig.

Owen: cow and pig and a dog and a hoors.

Catlin: I would have cows and chickens and dogs and pigs and wips.
