Mooch, the facility dog at Plainfield High School-Central Campus, loves her bird babies! This is the second year the Reaching Individual Strengths and Expectations (RISE) science classes have hatched chicks. Teacher Ann Tumpane bought and incubated the eggs in her classroom, and five eggs hatched over the weekend. Mooch spends a lot of time with Tumpane in her RISE classes and relishes her role as momma!
