August Newsletter

August is officially here! Summer flew by (a little too quick, if you ask us), but we're ready to dive into the 2021-2022 school year. We're excited to announce that NEF will now be sending monthly e-newsletters about our recent and upcoming events, announcements, news, and more!

New Educator Breakfast

Naperville 203's New Educator Breakfast took place this morning! Educators new to the district got to meet and mingle all while learning a more about our district. With DuPage Credit Union's support, we were able to award $250 to a lucky new educator via a drawing of those who signed up for Cents for Kids, NEF's payroll deduction program!

Naperville Children's Business Fair

May Express Grant winners Athena Chen (NCHS sophomore) and Christine Bell (NCHS Business Educator) successfully put on the Naperville Children's Business Fair on August 7!

This event was designed to give students in the Naperville community (5-14 yrs old) the opportunity to promote their own businesses and sell their products/services at a one day fair.

The funding was be used to host a competition (judged by NEF Board of Trustees Vice Chair Julie Beehler) between the entrepreneurs, divided into three age groups to see who has the “Most Unique Business Idea” and “Most Unique Presentation." Thank you to Athena and Christine for your creativity and initiative to positively impact the community, and thank you to Julie Beehler for your support and participation!
