• Wheaton Community Reflects on 25th Anniversary of 9/11 (thewheatonrecord.com) — Wheaton residents and Wheaton College students are marking the 25th anniversary of 9/11 by honoring three alumni who died, including United Flight 93 passenger Todd Beamer. Campus leaders, ROTC cadets, and athletes reflect on Beamer's legacy, the "Let's Roll" motto, and how the college continues to remember the attacks through chapel observances and the Todd M. Beamer Student Center.
• Chicago-area ceremonies mark 25 years since the 9/11 attacks (nbcchicago.com) — A 9/11 remembrance ceremony at College of DuPage in Wheaton is among several Chicago-area events marking 25 years since the attacks, with moments of silence planned at 7:46 a.m. Chicago time. Local residents can join these tributes while national observances in New York and elsewhere highlight the attacks' long-term impacts and ongoing debates over security and freedom.
• Joliet West wins Denise Kavanaugh Invitational: The Herald-News Saturday Roundup (shawlocal.com) — Wheaton-area sports fans can note that Wheaton Academy's volleyball team edged Lincoln-Way Central in a tight three-set match during a local quad meet.
