Lebanon Public School District

At the November 18th Board of Education meeting we celebrated our back to back Class S Cross Country State Champions!

In the weeks leading up to Veterans Day, Lebanon Elementary School students participated in a variety of meaningful activities to honor those who have served our country. Classrooms engaged in letter writing, created “thank you” hats, and made art projects that reflected gratitude and patriotism. Students also drew portraits of soldiers and described their character traits, highlighting qualities such as bravery, service, and dedication.

On Veterans Day, we welcomed local veterans to a special breakfast held in their honor, followed by a heartfelt school assembly. During the assembly, we recognized and celebrated veterans from our community. Our fourth graders shared thoughtful readings about the importance of Veterans Day, and the third and fourth grade chorus performed a touching song in tribute.

It was truly an amazing celebration of gratitude, learning, and community pride.

Lebanon Middle School’s Veterans Day celebration was a heartfelt tribute to those who have served our country. Organized by Ms. Erica Strong, who did an outstanding job planning and preparing the event, the day began with a “Wall of Honor” displaying photos and information about veterans’ names, ranks, years of service, and unique experiences. The PTO sponsored a breakfast for veterans in the library, followed by a schoolwide assembly. Scouts of America led a flag-placing ceremony, and student representatives from each grade shared their written tributes at the podium. Ms. Strong introduced each veteran, acknowledging their service branch and years of dedication, and Mr. Johnson delivered a meaningful speech of gratitude. The event concluded with small group sessions where students engaged in personal conversations with veterans, and a sixth-grade video showcased students’ creative efforts to honor them on this important day.

A select group of Lebanon 6th–8th graders are taking part in the grant funded Connecticut River Connections, an exciting Project Oceanology program that brings students from rural and urban areas together to explore the amazing ecosystems of the Connecticut River. They will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on experiments in the classroom, on the shore, and even aboard the EnviroLab research vessel. Students will study local wildlife, test water quality, and learn what makes this river so special. Along the way, they’ll build teamwork skills and make new friends!

ACM Aerospace Alley Future Workforce Opportunities Fair

Students from Lyman Memorial High School attended the Aerospace Components Manufacturers (ACM) Aerospace Alley Future Workforce Opportunities Fair—an annual event designed to inspire the next generation of innovators and skilled professionals in Connecticut’s world-class manufacturing sector.

This exciting fair brought together over 100 aerospace and defense manufacturers, educational institutions, and industry leaders, offering students the opportunity to explore cutting-edge technology, learn about high-demand career pathways, and connect directly with employers shaping the future of advanced manufacturing.

Through interactive exhibits, live demonstrations, and hands-on experiences, students gained valuable insight into career opportunities in fields such as welding, machining, engineering, and design—areas that directly align with Lebanon Public Schools’ growing Career and Technical Education (CTE) Pathways, including the district’s new Welding Pathway developed in partnership with Electric Boat, UConn, and local industry partners.

Our girls said "run it back" and brought home a second consecutive Class S Cross Country State Championship! #BleedBlue #BackToBack #TheChampsAreHere #LebanonPride

⚓ Lebanon’s Fourth Graders Set Sail with “Boats for Kids”! 🌊

This October and continuing through the end of November, Lebanon’s fourth graders are taking part in “Boats for Kids,” an exciting, hands-on STEM experience developed in partnership with Electric Boat.

Over several interactive sessions, students are exploring six core trades essential to submarine construction—welding, shipfitting, pipefitting, electrical, sheet metal, and machining—through creative, age-appropriate activities that encourage problem-solving, teamwork, and curiosity.

This program aligns with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and supports our LPS STEM Pathway, helping students connect classroom learning to real-world applications. It also serves as an early introduction to Lebanon’s growing career and technical education opportunities, including the mobile welding lab at Lebanon Middle School and the new Welding Pathway at Lyman Memorial High School—developed in collaboration with Electric Boat, UConn, and local industry leaders.

Through this continuous K–12 pathway, Lebanon students are discovering how today’s classroom explorations can lead to tomorrow’s exciting careers in Connecticut’s manufacturing and maritime industries.
