Please be sure to read this month's LCUSD#9 Update, which was sent out via email and posted on the district website for important information, dates, and reminders regarding LCUSD#9.
Congratulations to our HS Baseball team on their first win of the year over East Alton Wood River 12-0 in 5 innings. They are now 1-4 and start conference play at Valmeyer next Tuesday.
On this last day of March, I would like to take a moment to celebrate National Athletic Training Month. Here at LCUSD#9 we are fortunate enough to have an incredible athletic trainer, Karla Pace! Since her arrival, Karla has helped transform so much in our athletic department and with our teams. Karla is amazing with our athletes. She makes sure that they are cared for and given the best treatment to get them safely back on the field or floor. Our athletic programs and student athletes can't thank Karla enough for all the hard work she has put in and going above and beyond to help them! Next time you see Karla, please thank her for all that she does for us! Thank you Karla, you are the best!
We have moved Thursday's high school baseball away game against East Alton Wood River to tomorrow(Tuesday) due to rain concerns on Thursday. Your Greyhounds will take on the Oilers at 4:30 and the field address is
Emerick Sports Complex on 6th st

We would like to take a minute and congratulate our 3 junior high bowlers who bowled this past Saturday in the SIJHSAA State Tournament at St Clair Bowl in O'Fallon.
8th grader Ava Garbe was our highest finisher as an individual bowler. She place 17th out of 80 individuals, just missing 15ht place by 13 pins which would have earned her a medal. Ava finished with a 159 average for 6 games that day. The state champion was from Smithton, Annmarie Duff, who won by 43 pins with a 213 average.
We had 2 qualifiers for the boys, 8th grader Colby Casperson and 6th grader Masen Davis.
Colby finished 29th out of 80 qualifying individuals with a 173 average for 6 games. Masen finished in a tie for 55th out of 80 bowlers with a 157 average.
Good job bowlers and our coaches. We are very proud of our Greyhounds!

Congratulations to Blake Goetter for receiving his State FFA Degree! The State FFA Degree is the highest degree awarded by the Illinois FFA Association. In order to receive your state degree, you have to keep exceptional records of your FFA/SAE activities, participate in community service, and display leadership within the organization. This award is awarded to less than 3% of the state's total FFA membership. This is Lebanon's first state degree recipient since we rechartered in 2020. Blake will be recognized on stage at the Illinois State Convention in June. We are so incredibly proud of you Blake!
