From our friends at the DPS Foundation:

Parents/Community Members - We Would Like Your Help…

For the last several years the main fundraiser for the Dixon Public Schools’ Foundation has been the "Stupor Bowl" held each Super Bowl Weekend.

This year’s Stupor Bowl will be held on Saturday, February 7, 2026.

We also hold a Silent Auction during this event and are looking for donations of items such as baskets, homemade items, sports tickets, or services (such as exercise, salon, or massages).

Programs that can benefit from your donation include positive incentives for students, classroom supplies, and enhanced technology.

Please contact Dianne Frye or Sarah Wilson by email at dfrye@dps170.org or swilson@dps170.org, if you would like to make a donation towards the Silent Auction, so we can get your item on our auction list.

Items would need to be dropped off to RMS or Central Office before Friday, February 6, 2026.
