Today, we celebrate a principal who leads with experience, dedication, and a genuine commitment to Reagan Middle School!
Mr. Magnafici builds meaningful relationships with both students and staff and is always willing to go the extra mile to make RMS the best it can be. Whether it’s putting in extra hours, jumping in to help keep our buildings clean and organized, or tackling the never-ending list of things that need to be done, he leads by example and is never afraid to roll up his sleeves and get to work!
With many years of experience and expertise, he brings so much knowledge and leadership to our school. There is always something happening at RMS, and we are grateful to have someone who cares so deeply about our students, staff, and school community.
Thank you, Mr. Magnafici, for all you do and for the countless ways you make a difference at Reagan Middle School! We appreciate your leadership, your hard work, and the heart you put into our school each and every day!
Happy Principal Appreciation Day! We are lucky to have you!
As we wrap up National School Bus Safety Week, we want to thank our drivers and support staff. School buses are an important part of the educational experience. For many students, the school day begins and ends with a ride on a bus. When you include sporting events and extracurricular activities, some students can be on a bus 5-6 times a day.
School Bus safety is also a shared responsibility. To the drivers taking the students to/from school, the aides directing them on/off the bus, the people sharing important bus safety messages, and anyone in between, this appreciation post goes out to all of you.

Let’s make October 16th a SPOOKTACULAR day! 👻🎃🕸️
This Veterans Day, our eighth-grade students will hear from guest speakers about military service and the experiences of veterans. Students will also assemble care bags for veterans living in local assisted living communities.
We hope these activities give students a chance to listen, learn, and express gratitude in a personal way. A care bag and a handwritten note can remind a veteran that their service and story matter.
If your family would like to help, we welcome donations of new, unused items:
Hygiene: Toothbrushes, toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, shampoo, soap, lip balm, lotions
Clothing: New socks/fuzzy socks
Everyday comforts: Small blankets and individually packaged snacks and candy (gum), flavored drink packets
Participation is completely optional. Every student will take part in the learning and service activities, whether or not their family donates.
Please send donations to school by November 3rd. Thank you for helping our students show care and appreciation to veterans in our community.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kitzman
