Waubonsie Student On Ellen
A Waubonsie Valley High School student landed herself on Ellen after a viral video showed her performing an act of kindness. Sophomore Brynn Drew “paid it backwards” after having her wisdom teeth removed by paying for a customer’s drink in a Starbucks drive thru. Ellen invited her on the show and presented her with 10,000 Starbucks Rewards points and a check for $10,000. Well done Brynn!

Enchanted Railroad
An annual favorite is chugging back into town. Today is the first day the Enchanted Railroad is running at the Morton Arboretum. Viewing the model set is free with admission to the arboretum, but you do need to secure a time ticket when you arrive. Those can sell out quickly, so make sure you grab one so you don’t miss out. The railroad will be on display every day in the Sycamore Room through February 23.
