Thank you to everyone who nominated a staff member for the Lebanon Education Foundation's Employee of the Year. The three winners were selected from over 40 nominations. Help us congratulate one of the winners: Mrs. Becky Barnouski. Becky has been educating students for 37 years. She has spent her last 30 years teaching Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st grade for Lebanon District #9. Becky earned her Bachelor's degree from SIU-C and began her teaching career with SIU-C Head Start. After receiving her Master's degree from SIU-E, she entered the public school system where she taught at Madison #12 and Smithton #130 before finding her home at LCUSD9. During her years at LCUSD9, Becky has been instrumental in managing the Pre-K grant, implementing best practices in the classroom, and mentoring. Becky has also served as union treasurer and has helped in the concession stand when needed.
Becky describes Lebanon District #9 as her second family, one that she feels very lucky to have, which makes it very hard to say "good-bye" as she retired at the end of this school year.
She plans to spend time with her husband, Anthony, taking time to travel more and they are both looking forward to a new grandbaby arriving in August!
