Lebanon CUSD #9

Unfortunately, with several new Covid cases in the district and working with the health department’s recommendation to mitigate: we will reschedule our Christmas Concert that was originally scheduled for tonight. As you are aware dealing with Covid related issues has made school, sports and activities very fluid. We will continue to monitor and work with the health department for any addition mitigations, postponements and/or cancellations. Our goal is to meditate what we need to in order to keep our school doors open. Currently this is the only Postponement at this time. School WILL be in session as normal. Stay safe, Mr. Keeney
