This week’s RMS Spirit Stick goes to Mrs. Robin Kibble, Paraprofessional at Reagan Middle School. Robin always goes above and beyond, bringing kindness, patience, and genuine care to every interaction. She is a wonderful role model for students, demonstrating compassion and positivity each day. In addition to supporting students and teachers in the classroom, Robin is always willing to lend a hand to fellow paraprofessionals, helping them learn and grow in their roles throughout the building. Her outstanding work ethic, supportive spirit, and uplifting personality make her an invaluable part of the RMS team and a deserving recipient of this week’s Spirit Award!

IT. IS. GAMEDAY!! The #8 (4A) Dukes travel to Byron to take on the #1 (3A) Tigers this evening. Freshman kickoff at 5 with Varsity to follow. We have a student fan bus sign up in the athletic office. We hope to see you in Byron!

Just finished handing out 90% Summer Attendance t-shirts to student-athletes in Weights PE. We are thankful for the support of the Dixon Athletics Booster Club and Dixon Athletic Department for the incentive program and Kaleel's for printing the t-shirts.
