• Sale closed in Oswego: $320,000 for a single-family home (shawlocal.com) — A three-bedroom home on Bluegrass Parkway in Oswego recently sold for $320,000, offering a snapshot of current neighborhood prices. Nearby sales on McGrath Drive and Dancer Lane, all closing within the past year, show similar price points and sizes, giving Oswego homeowners and buyers a clear sense of today's market.
• Volleyball Recap: Marist Beats Oswego East for Their 16th Straight Victory (maxpreps.com) — Oswego East's volleyball team fell 2-0 to powerhouse Marist, dropping the Wolves to 0-2 despite a strong effort from Tori Vlcek, who tallied eight kills and five digs. Marist limited Oswego East to 16 points in each set and has since extended its winning streak, while Oswego East also lost its next match to Normal Community.
• Lisbon Community Consolidated School District 90 had 85.4% of teacher attendance rate during 2024-25 (kendallcountytimes.com) — While the main focus is Lisbon Community Consolidated School District 90's teacher attendance, the state report also highlights Oswego Community Unit School District 308 with an impressive 99.9% teacher attendance rate.
