Naperville students recognized for streetlight art and national science competition achievement
The Indian Prairie Community Unit School District 204 Board of Education meeting held on July 7, 2025, highlighted notable achievements by local students and their contributions to the community.

The meeting commenced with a commendation for Neuqua Valley High School art students Avani Agarwal, Jumana Januwala, Soha Javid, Olivia Mancha, and Annie O'Boyle. Their artwork was selected to adorn several streetlight controller boxes in Naperville, following a call for teen artists earlier in the spring. The board expressed pride in how these creative designs will transform ordinary utility boxes into vibrant public art, enhancing the community's aesthetic and leaving a lasting impression.

Additionally, the board recognized Cullen Middle School seventh graders Sophia Hackford and Tricia Hammerweisha, along with their science teacher and team advisor, Aaron Miller. The students were celebrated for being named national finalists in the eCyberMission competition, ranking among the top 20 teams in the nation. Competing under the name "Allergen Avengers," they developed an innovative product called Safe Strips, designed to detect common food allergens, aiding individuals with food allergies in identifying safe food options.

The meeting concluded with a strong emphasis on the importance of student achievements and their positive impact on the community, showcasing the district's commitment to fostering creativity and innovation among its students.
