Today's riddle: What do an island and the letter "t" have in common? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 20.2% of Naperville North graduates at Illinois community colleges took remedial courses in 2024-25 (dupagepolicyjournal.com) — Naperville North families can see how graduates are faring at Illinois community colleges, with 20.2% needing remedial math in 2024–25, below the statewide rate. The report also highlights the school's strong 95.5% graduation rate and high college enrollment, plus how new state K‑12 funding and tax credits may affect local education support.
2. Behind September's Brightest Night (positivelynaperville.com) — Naperville skywatchers can look for the bright Harvest Moon around 11:50 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 26, with similarly early evening moonrises for a few days on either side. Because of Naperville's position in the Northern Hemisphere, the moon appears at nearly the same time each night, giving residents extra evening light and a great excuse to step outside and unwind.
3. These residential properties were the best deals for DuPage / Cook County's in the week of Sept. 7 (shawlocal.com) — A Naperville condominium on Neudearborn Lane topped a recent list of DuPage and Cook County's best real estate deals, selling for $400,000 with two bedrooms and two baths. The roundup compares this sale to other $400,000 homes across the region, giving Naperville residents a snapshot of how local prices stack up in today's market.
4. Football roundup: Lisle, Naperville C., IC Catholic, Wheaton Academy notch victories (dailyherald.com) — Naperville Central football fans can celebrate a dominant 41–7 road win over DeKalb, powered by quarterback Simon Hayes' three touchdown passes and strong second‑half scoring. The roundup also highlights big victories and standout performances from nearby programs like Lisle, IC Catholic Prep, Wheaton Academy, and several other suburban schools.
5. Border Patrol agent convicted of sexually assaulting, robbing 4 women (upi.com) — A federal Customs and Border Protection officer has been convicted of sexually assaulting and robbing four women at Chicago-area hotels, including locations in Naperville and Schaumburg, between February and October 2022. Prosecutors said he used his badge and service gun to threaten Chinese sex workers, and he now faces a mandatory minimum of seven years to life in prison.
