This week’s Spirit Stick winner is Mrs. Lani Rogers, one of our outstanding P.E. teachers here at RMS. Mrs. Rogers plays a key leadership role within the P.E. Department, helping to guide planning, support her colleagues, and ensure that every student’s needs are met. She works hard to make physical education engaging and enjoyable for all students, creating activities and resources that are both inclusive and purposeful.
Mrs. Rogers brings a consistently positive attitude to school each day and is always willing to step in and lend a helping hand wherever it’s needed. She not only looks out for students’ well-being but also takes initiative to design new ideas, routines, and structures that support their success. Her dedication, energy, and willingness to go above and beyond do not go unnoticed.
We are incredibly fortunate to have Mrs. Rogers as part of the RMS family. Thank you, Mrs. Rogers, for everything you do!

Community agencies unite for mass casualty drill to enhance emergency preparedness
DIXON, Ill. | December 1, 2025 – Multiple community organizations joined forces today to conduct a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) drill designed to strengthen emergency preparedness and ensure the safety of residents in Dixon and surrounding areas.
The exercise included OSF HealthCare Saint Katharine Medical Center, Dixon Public Schools, Dixon City Fire, Dixon Rural Fire, Dixon Police Department, Lee County Sheriff's Department, Lee County 9-1-1 Center, Lee County Health Department, and CGH Medical Center. Together, these agencies practiced a coordinated response to a simulated large-scale emergency, testing communication, resource sharing and patient care protocols.
“Our shared goal is to be proactive rather than reactive if an emergency should arise," shared Margo Empen, Dixon Public Schools district superintendent. "This type of training is critical because it ensures we can respond quickly and effectively."
The drill reflects the commitment of local organizations to work collaboratively in preparing for potential disasters, reinforcing that community safety is a top priority.

This week, we recognize and celebrate Mrs. Bovey, our incredible Reagan Middle School Librarian as our Spirit Stick Winner! She is the perfect example of what it means to go above and beyond for our students and staff. Whether she’s coordinating reading activities, helping a student find just the right book, supporting teachers with resources, or creating a welcoming space for everyone who walks through her doors, her pleasant demeanor, compassion, and willingness to help always shine through. She is truly one of the most accommodating and supportive people in our building. Most recently, she closed the library and transformed the space to host our Veterans Day potluck, creating a warm and meaningful setting to welcome our guest speaker veterans, and staff. It was a wonderful event, and her extra time and thoughtful planning made all the difference. Thank you, Mrs. Bovey, for everything you do each day to lift up our school community. We are grateful for you, and we appreciate the heart you put into your work.
