BACK TO SCHOOL BUZZ! ⚾🐻

Great things are happening as we start the 2026-27 school year!

DeKalb High School senior Bailey Quincer was one of 20 students statewide selected to compete in the Illinois Secretary of State's "Illinois Reads Together" initiative. The students were encouraged to participate in their local library's summer reading program.

Bailey, a cardholder at Malta Township Public Library, was the one student selected as the winner and will throw out the first pitch at tomorrow's Chicago Cubs game!

As a Cubs fan, Bailey is excited for the opportunity to not only attend her first Major League Baseball Game, but to throw out the ceremonial first pitch!

Congratulations Bailey! Way to make D428 proud!

Congratulations to our DeKalb High School Jazz Ensemble, who had the opportunity to perform at the Harris Theater Rooftop Stage in Chicago's Millennium Park! This is just one of the many ways our talented D428 students are making us proud!

BACK TO SCHOOL BUZZ! 🍃🌞😎

Great things have been happening in D428 this school year. One thing you may not have noticed, because they are on the roof, is the addition of new solar panels on many of our buildings, installed by SunPeak.

Not only will this save over $500,000 over twenty years at Lincoln and Brooks alone, but the environmental impact will be great as well:

Brooks - 462 solar panels will reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 298 metric tons of carbon dioxide. This is the same as taking 69 gas-powered cars off the road each year!

Lincoln - 210 solar panels will reduce annual greenhouse gas emissions by 137 metric tons of carbon dioxide. That's like recycling 48.5 tons of waste!

Thanks to Joe Corn for these great drone photos of the finished products.

BACK TO SCHOOL BUZZ! 💰💵💲

There are so many great things happening as our 26-27 school year gets rolling.

This week, Old National Bank dropped by to talk to third-graders about the money cycle as part of an effort to teach and promote financial literacy among D428 students.

Through role-playing, the students learned where money comes from, what banks are for, financial safety, and responsibility.

It was a hard-fought game with a friendly wager. In the end, Sycamore got the FNBO Challenge 'W.' Mr. Hueramo is a man of his word. Here's to a great fall season of sport and activities. We'll also look forward to January's challenge and a special Barb shirt for Dr. Campbell's wardrobe!

Today at 4pm, the DHS Barbs take on the Sycamore Spartans in the FNBO Challenge at Huskie Stadium, the home of the NIU Huskies! The Barbs gathered in the gym at DeKalb High School to rally with the team, the band, cheer, and dance squads all gathering to pump each other up for a great game. And don't forget, when the Barbs win, the Superintendent from Sycamore has to wear a Barbs jersey for a day! Go Barbs!

🎒📚✏Employees from Ryder Systems of DeKalb and several vendors from the DeKalb Farmers Market collected and donated supplies for students and teachers this year. On behalf of Board of Education President Chris Boyes, Superintendent Hueramo, and our entire D428 team, THANK YOU for your generosity! The Back-to-School market had to be canceled because of bad weather, but there's still time to support the many wonderful local vendors who make our community special!
