Lyman Memorial High School recently hosted a successful Career Fair on May 20th, 2025. School improvement team, in collaboration with ReadyCT, brought together a variety of local employers and professionals to connect with students. The event gave students the opportunity to explore different career paths, ask meaningful questions, and learn about potential future opportunities. Using interactive BINGO cards as conversation starters, students engaged with around a dozen career representatives from fields including healthcare, skilled trades, business, and public service. A special thank you to all the employers and staff who helped make this event a valuable and inspiring experience for our students!

The Lyman Memorial High School Contemporary Ensemble visited the Lebanon Senior Center to perform for community members and then later that night showcased their talents at Mayfest!

Congratulations to our Teachers of the Year! Ms. Gamache at Lebanon Elementary School, Mr. Andrews at Lebanon Middle School , and Ms. Ricard at Lyman Memorial High School!

At the Tuesday, May 13, 2025 Lebanon Board of Education meeting, six students were recognized for earning the Seal of Biliteracy, a significant academic honor. This recognition, awarded by the State of Connecticut, celebrates students who demonstrate proficiency in English and at least one other language. It affirms the value of multilingualism in a global society and opens doors for our graduates in both college and career opportunities. Congrats Eleanor Rodgers, Jenny Lopez, Hannah Gonzalez, Talia, Sylvie, and James Hiltz (also recently received the Connecticut Association of Schools Scholar Athlete award). A big thank you to Sandra Rios, Spanish teacher at Lyman, who helps students prepare for this assessment. Additionally we recognized Kevin Brodie, a social studies teacher at Lyman Memorial High School, for being selected as a Teacher Fellow for the Human Rights Close to Home program at UCONN. This year-long professional development opportunity brings together teachers from across Connecticut to deepen their understanding of human rights and civic education. They’ll explore rights-based teaching strategies and bring that learning directly into their classrooms. We were also thrilled to celebrate two students Samuel Barnes and Kaytlyn Howard who will participate in the Student Fellowship for the same initiative. They will take part in a one-week residential leadership institute at UCONN focused on human rights and civic engagement, joining peers from across the state in developing the knowledge and skills to drive change in their communities. Lastly, the Jonathan Trumbull Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution recognized Lukas Hazzard with the Good Citizen Award.

Please join me in congratulating this year's Paraeducators of the Year! This morning the Paraeducator Nominating Committee and administrators surprised our well-deserving honorees. From LMHS, we honor Candis O'Hearn. Candis will represent the district for the 2026 Anne Marie Murphy Paraeducator of the Year Award. A student said of Candis, "Miss O'Hearn has been a huge impact on my life , she has supported me through the four years I've been here, and has always supported me and always tried her best to make sure I was going on the right path before I graduate..." From LMS, we honor Theresa Villanueva. A colleague said of Theresa, "She is a positive, calm force at LMS. Students have expressed to me that they feel safe with Theresa and yet they know she means business!" At LES, we surprised Danielle Brown. A teacher wrote of Danielle, " She is always willing to help in any situation. She is good with every student that she works with and the kids love her." We are lucky to have so many hard-working, dedicated paraeducators supporting our students and staff. It is a pleasure to recognize this year's Paraeducators of the Year. Congratulations, Candis, Theresa, and Danielle! Sincerely, Dawn DeLia Lebanon Public Schools Director of Pupil Services
