Naperville Schools ~ Do it Again!

Once again Naperville Schools have made the list of best high schools in US News and World Report.

Naperville's highly rated school systemhas been a big attraction for families relocating to Naperville. It is the mission of Naperville Community Unit School District 203 to educate students to be self-directed learners, collaborative workers, complex thinkers, quality producers and community contributors. Quality producers they are; when tested for ACT and SAT, students scored higher than the State and National average.

I personally have worked with several buyers that made the decision to move to Naperville because of our top rated schools.

Naperville's Farmers Market

Naperville's Farmers MarketStaying healthy and getting your five servings of fruits and vegetables is made easy at Naperville’s Farmers Market.

Farmers from Michigan (Such an awesome state!) bring in fresh fruits and vegetables, but you need to get there early or you will be left with slim pick-ins (I made that mistake once).

Fruits and vegetables are not the only thing you can buy at the Farmers Market, fresh baked bread, cheese, homemade salsa, honey and all things made with honey, fresh herbs, homemade olive muffalata (reminds me of Italian gardinara) and a lot of beautiful flowers to choose from.

The Farmers Market is open every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Fifth Avenue Station parking lot and runs until Oct 25th and is sponsored by the Naperville Farmer's Market Association.
