These referral buyers from Nashville had a challenging situation - a job starting here in Naperville in 3 weeks and two children starting high school at a new school.

So Ginny had to find a house quickly so the kids could be here for the start of the school year. The other complication was that they were “home sale contingent”, meaning they had to SELL in Nashville before they could buy. They came in for a whirlwind weekend where they looked at 16 houses in 2 days.

This home was not on their original list, but it checked all of their must haves and turned out to be the perfect fit.

Congratulations!

BASIC BACK TO SCHOOL SAFETY FOR FAMILIES
Before the first day of school, parents should talk to their students about safety and make sure to follow these tips:
🍎Students should know their home address and phone number, as well as a parent’s cell phone number. Help your child practice it so they have it memorized before school begins.
🍎Use the buddy system. Always walk to and from school with a friend or stay with a group at the bus stop. There is safety in numbers.
🍎If riding the bus, visit the bus stop with your child and be sure they know their bus number.
🍎Walk/ride in well-lit areas and never take shortcuts. Instruct children to avoid places they cannot be seen or heard and to stay on the Safe Routes to School. Before the first day of school, walk to and from school with your child.
🍎Stay within the crosswalks and obey all traffic signals/signs. Obey the crossing guard if one is available. If children ride their bikes to school, make sure they wear a helmet and lock their bike when they get to school.
🍎Teach children the safety rule, “Say NO, GO and TELL”. If anyone approaches your child, offers them a ride, asks for directions, or makes them feel uncomfortable, instruct them to say “NO”, get away from the situation (GO), and TELL a trusted adult. Be sure to discuss with your child who trusted adults may be: teachers, parents, friend’s parents, neighbors, police officers, firefighters, relatives, etc.
🍎Make sure children understand NEVER to leave school with anyone they haven’t been instructed to leave with by you. If someone comes up to them and tells them that there is an emergency and they want your child to go with them, be sure they know to check first with you or another trusted adult (school personnel) before doing so.
🍎If your students will be taking care of themselves after school, find helpful tips and additional safety rules taken from our Third Grade - On Your Own program.

Check out the 63rd annual Fine Art and Artisan Fair this Saturday and Sunday from 10-5pm at Naper Settlement. This event will showcase talented artists and give the public an opportunity to take part in an interactive Community Project. This event is hosted by Naperville Woman’s Club.

One of the major features of this fair is a large 12′ x 8′ mural divided into 216 smaller squares for visitors to paint, using a sample as inspiration. Each completed section will be stapled together in a wooden frame until eventually the entire mural comes to life. Attendees of all ages and skill levels are encouraged to participate.

The mural is the work of exhibiting Haitian artist Gregory Frederic, called “Chase the Dream,” inspired by the emotions he feels through music, injustices and the people he meets.

Children will love to demonstrate their own creativity through art projects, enjoy a balloon artist, and have their photo taken as part of a larger painting.

The Fine Art and Artisan Fair will have more than 100 artists and artisans showcasing their talent in a variety of areas, including:

Painting
Ceramics
Jewlery
Mixed Media
Photography
and more

Attendees can also enjoy food, drinks, and live music while also exploring the grounds of Naper Settlement, Naperville’s outdoor history museum. Sunday there will also be an awards ceremony for top artists and artisans in various categories.
