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!



This camp is open to all students entering grades 5th–12th for the 2026–2027 school year. We also welcome participants from outside the Lebanon school district, so please feel free to share this opportunity with friends, family, or anyone interested in developing their volleyball skills this summer.
We are especially excited to share that we have partnered with the McKendree University Women’s Volleyball Team, whose players and coaches will be in attendance each day to assist with drills and provide valuable instruction and insight.
Last year, we welcomed over 30 campers, and we are looking forward to an even bigger and better experience this summer!
Additional details, including camp flyers and registration information, are linked here.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Thank you,
Doug Becker

Dear LCUSD#9 Parents/Guardians,
Thank you to all who have taken the time to take the Illinois 5 Essentials Survey. This is one more reminder to participate in the 5 Essentials Parent Survey if you haven’t had the opportunity to take it yet.
As a reminder, a parent survey report will be generated if at least 20 percent of parents/guardians respond to the survey, so we especially need parents/guardians of junior high and/or high school students to take the survey to help us get over that 20 percent threshold. LES parents are off the hook, as we’ve exceeded the threshold at the elementary level, but you are still invited to take the survey between now and the end of the week.
While the parent data will not be made public, the parent report will be made available to our administrative team and will enable us to make considerations based on the responses given by LCUSD#9 parents/guardians.
Please visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ to take the parent survey. The March 13th deadline for survey responses is approaching quickly!
Thanks for your support and involvement,
Matt Noyes, Ed.D.
LCUSD#9 Superintendent
