Jr High Soccer tryouts are Monday (3/16) after school until 5:00. 5th graders are welcome to leave at 4:45 so they can catch 6th grade orientation. We will have an open field (completely optional practice for tryouts) on Friday (3/13) from 3-4:30. Please send questions to Coach Seely at jseely@lcusd9.org

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.

🎉🌟 Student of the Month – Perseverance! 🌟🎉
Lebanon Elementary School is proud to celebrate our amazing students who earned Student of the Month for showing perseverance! 👏
Perseverance means not giving up, even when something is hard. It means trying again when you make a mistake, practicing until you improve, and staying positive when challenges come your way. 💪✨
Eli, Colby, Lily, Aria, Peyton, Blakelyn, and Timothy have shown us that success doesn’t always happen on the first try; it happens when you keep working, keep learning, and keep believing in yourself! We are so proud of the determination and strong character you show every day.
Way to go, Greyhoundse! 🐾 Keep reaching for your goals and never give up! 🌟

Parent/Player/Coach meeting for HS Track/JH Track/JH Soccer will be Thursday March 5th at 6:30 in the HS gym. If your student intends to do one of these sports we need the parent and athlete at the meeting. HS Track begins Monday March 2nd at 3:00, JH Track begins March 9th after school and JH Soccer starts March 16th after school. Students must have a current physical, online athletic paperwork completed for this year(located in your school registration portal) and $50 sports fee for JH sports and $75 fee for HS sports paid before the 1st meet or game.
I know there is also the NHS induction ceremony that evening and parents and athletes that would like or need to attend that ceremony are welcome to do so and then they can reach out to ccruthis@lcusd9.org the next day to get information from the parent/player/coach meeting. We do not have a free night that there isn't a conflict with something else before all spring sports start which is why the 5th was chosen by the athletic director.

Good Luck to our high school boys basketball team tonight in the IHSA Regional at Sparta. They will take on #10 state ranked Sparta in their home gym at 6:00. It will be a tall order to knock them off but these boys deserve some support in Sparta. They finished with 13 wins this year which is the most wins in a season in the last 10 years for the program. So if you have time tonight, make the drive to Sparta and support these boys, I am sure they would appreciate it!

Ballin' for a Cure! On February 19, students from Lebanon High School present a $1,500 donation check to Amber Sashankar of Dupo, raised during Lebanon School's "Ballin' for a Cure" Cancer Night. The funds were raised through the efforts of the basketball team, cheerleading squad, and National Honor Society. Proceeds will go directly toward supporting Amber and her family as she courageously fights cancer. The event highlights the strong bond between neighboring communities and the power of coming together for a meaningful cause. Lebanon stands proudly behind Amber, reminding her she is not fighting alone.
