LCUSD #9 Families,
Good afternoon! This communication is intended to inform students and families of our plan to have students attend school in person tomorrow, Wednesday, January 28.
We are thankful for IDOT and our local road crews, who have worked tirelessly over the past few days treating and clearing area roadways and streets. We are also appreciative of our Maintenance Director, Bryan Reising, and his team for the work they’ve done and will continue to do in the morning to prepare our school grounds for students and staff. Even with these efforts, we understand that not every street, parking lot, and sidewalk in our district is perfect and may not be for several days due to the cold temperatures.
I have spoken with our Transportation Director, Karen Wehrle, who spent today cleaning off and preparing our bus fleet and helping me check routes throughout the district. At this time, we are confident that our buses will be able to complete their routes tomorrow. Some bus stops may still have snow where students typically wait, and temperatures are forecasted to remain extremely cold. We respectfully ask our district families to help supervise their children at bus stops tomorrow and throughout this weather event to ensure they remain safe while waiting for our buses.
If parents choose to drive their students to school, extended drop-off times (without tardies) will be in place at each building. This adjustment should allow families sufficient time to navigate road conditions safely, without concern about students being counted tardy. Please drive extra cautiously tomorrow, especially in busy areas around our schools where students may be walking.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to safely return students to school tomorrow. We’re looking forward to having students back in our buildings!
Educationally yours,
Matt Noyes, Ed.D.

High School and Junior High Featured Athletes
Junior High Bowling by coaches Glenn Stark and Cheyenne Moore
Boys Varsity:
Steven Shirley - Steven started our first match on varsity and led the team with a 152 average. He consistently was in the pocket and made spares to spark his team. Despite it being his first match, he kept it simple and stayed within his game. He has worked hard on his spare shooting and he is off to a great career.
Boys JV:
Ethan Doss - Ethan has taken on the challenge to anchor the JV squad. He has bowled very consistently and can be counted on to deliver a solid game every time out. His average is up nearly 18 pins and he is pushing his teammates to set their score goals higher. The JV squad is very deep and undefeated thanks to his contributions.
Girls JV:
Everly Christ has continued to improve every week, breaking 100 in only her second match. She is a great listener and is always giving her best. She stays positive, and lifts her team up with her attitude and determination
Ava Garbe- Ava continues to hold down the anchor spot and has delivered two great games against tough opponents. She threw the first 200 game for the girls in over 3 years as the girls took a game from a team that hasn't lost a game since they joined the league 3 years ago! She is focused and has set big goals to reach the State tournament this year!
Volleyball by coaches Doug Becker and Geri Carpenter
Varsity: Marley Pier
This week we are proud to recognize our 8th Grade Libero, Marley!
Marley has been exceptional on the court with her amazing saves and consistent passing. She brings relentless effort every single match and is always willing to lay out and do whatever it takes for her team.
As one of our team captains, Marley leads by example. She communicates confidently, keeps her teammates organized, and stays positive in every situation. What stands out most is her ability to reset even after a mistake, she refreshes, refocuses, and bounces right back stronger.
We are incredibly proud of her leadership, toughness, and team-first mindset. Keep up the great work, Marley!
J.V: Kennedie Evans
Kennedie is new to our team this season, but you wouldn’t know it by the way she plays. Her hitting has been strong and confident, her passing continues to improve, and her serving has been phenomenal. She competes hard and brings great energy every time she steps on the court.
What makes Kennedie special is her willingness to learn and grow. She takes coaching seriously, pushes herself in practice, and continues to get better each week.
We are excited to see her development continue and can’t wait to watch her grow even more as the season goes on. Keep working, Kennedie!
HS Boys Basketball by Coach Bennett, Coach Cruthis, Coach McAllister
Varsity- DeVaughn Ware- has continued to work hard at being a leader on the court. He is among conference leaders in pts, rebounds and assists.
JV-Kaiden Wheeler- Kaiden has been working hard to improve as a post player. He had his best effort of the season at Bunker Hill in the JV game Monday night with 10pts and 6 rebounds.
HS Cheerleading
Addison is being named Feature Athlete for her positive attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to step into any position when needed. She picks up choreography quickly, is always eager to learn new skills, and takes coaching with maturity and focus. Addison is a true team player who supports those around her and consistently gives her best effort. We’re proud to recognize her dedication, coachability, and impact on our team.

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. Many of our students demonstrate empathy and compassion, but these two truly stood out! Congratulations to Simon, Brynlee, Khylee, Kaleb, Hadley, Keenan and Daniel for consistently showing empathy throughout the month of January—and every day of the year!

Cancer Awareness night, sponsored by our National Honor Society, was held this past Friday night at the high school boys game vs Dupo.
NHS chose to give the money raised that night to the family of Dupo's head coach Jason Sashanker as his wife is battling breast cancer.
Creekside Bar and Grill also did a dine and donate that night that will be included in the money that is donated to the Sashankers.
Athletes and coaches were invited to read who they were playing for that night in regards to someone who was battling cancer, beat cancer or passed due to cancer. NHS also had a bake sale and basket raffle to help raise funds that evening
We will post the total money raised in the next day or two. Very proud of our community helping a member of another community during their battle with cancer
Great job Greyhounds!
