Earlier this afternoon, an Illinois Central School Bus was involved in an accident on Route 2 between Oregon and Byron. We want to confirm that NO DPS #170 students were on the bus at the time of the accident. We are awaiting additional information from law enforcement. There are delays in bussing this afternoon due to the closure of Route 2.
We would love to give a shoutout to all of the RMS Young Author Winners - Sofia G, Lauren H, Ellie K, Jenna M, Joely O, Owen L, Nathan S, Sebastian S, and Sophia W. Over the next few weeks, we will be highlighting each of these students individually and sharing their stories!

ABBA’s greatest hits are woven into a sunny tale set on a Greek island. On the eve of her wedding, a bride’s quest to discover her father’s identity brings three men from her mother’s past back to the place they last visited 20 years ago. The story-telling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter, and friendship, creating an unforgettable show. A trip down the aisle you’ll never forget!
