Hello from St. Mary's School in Illinois!
We are a second grade classroom in Buffalo Grove. We like doing projects, especially like this one. Our state bird is the cardinal. Springfield is our capital where you can visit the home of President Lincoln. Our tallest building is the Sears Tower. We have many museums in Illinois. You can visit us at our website: www.stmarybg.org

Caption: The Sears Tower is a dramatic monolith of 16,000 bronze tinted windows and 28 acres of ultra modern black aluminum skin resting on Chicago's bedrock and rising majestically 1,454 feet above the city.
