Good morning, Naperville.

The Naperville Woman’s Club (NWC) celebrated its charitable work at a recent reception by donating $26,124 through fundraisers that supported groups like Loaves & Fishes and KidsMatter.

The club held a D.E.A.R. project on April 12 to promote reading and will host its Fine Art & Artisan Fair at Naper Settlement (NS) on June 28 and 29 with juried art and family activities.

Several businesses in Woodridge were burglarized early Sunday morning along the busy 75th Street corridor; police responded at about 5 a.m. and 5:12 a.m. at two strip malls and are still investigating the incidents (no arrests have been made).

Naperville District 203 approved changes for high school courses that will take effect in the 2026-27 school year after a years-long review process with staff and student feedback.

Administrators will add classes such as Project Lead the Way and criminal justice while removing courses like Humanities II and Peace and Conflict — changes meant to better align offerings with state standards and student interest.

Mike Briggs, CEO of Little Friends, said extreme federal comments about autism mislead the public because CDC data shows 1 in 31 children are diagnosed—organizations help many achieve improved communication and independence.

Ed returned to Naperville after spending several warm months in Sarasota where he enjoyed endless sunshine and relaxed living.

He now adjusts to crisp mornings, greener lawns, and busy local streets—finding comfort in the familiar pace of home.
