Illinois has an official state rock! Thanks to the efforts of Jennifer Lauermann and students from Pleasantdale Middle School and Maplebrook Elementary School, Illinois designated dolostone as the state rock in 2022.

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.

@RepCasten Thinking about you and your family so much.

Step aside and give a round of applause for Illinois’ official state rock… Dolostone!

Learn more about what this 400 million-year-old rock can teach us about Illinois history.

Dolostone is our state rock-thanks to some hard working students!

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

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.

[Jen Lauermann @JenLauermann]

Big day for @pdalesd…history was made. @govpritzker signed our Illinois state rock bill into law! Proud of my rock star students!

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.

[Rep. Sean Casten @RepCasten]

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.

[Jen Lauermann @JenLauermann]

@RepCasten We are so happy you spoke to our students! #dolostone for the win!

[Pleasantdale SD 107 @PdaleSD]

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
