Lebanon School District
Monthly Superintendent Update
Dear Cedar Families,
April is upon us, and with it comes the final stretch of the school year! Thank you for allowing us to mentor your child and for the support you provide at home. We appreciate you!
I have a few reminders for you:
- No School - School is not in session on Friday, April 4, as it is a Professional Learning Day for staff.
- Spring Break is just around the corner! Schools will be closed on Friday, April 18 and Monday, April 21 providing a well-deserved opportunity to rest and recharge before we enter the final stretch of the year. Please note: school is in session on Thursday, April 17, as it is a weather make-up day.
- Testing Season is Here - With April comes our annual state testing schedule, thank you for all you do to help our students be ready for success!
- This month, our students will begin lessons from our Portrait of a Cedar initiative. More information will be shared from your child's teacher(s) and/or principal, and we are excited about this district-wide initiative.
Thank you for your continued support. Please do not hesitate to contact us!
With Pride,
Nicole L. Malinoski, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools

This month our staff proudly launched our Portrait of a Cedar initiative, which will be implemented in our classrooms in the 2025-2026 school year! This new program incorporates the seven core values that we believe every Cedar student should embody upon graduation, values that you, our parents, helped define.
These key qualities are:
- Personally Responsible
- Empathetic
- Responsible
- Critical Thinker
- Communicator
- Creative
- Leader
As part of our curriculum, these values will guide and inspire our students every step of the way, helping them grow into well-rounded individuals ready for the future!
Achieved Fidelity at Tiers 1, 2, and 3!
Aevidum - I've Got Your Back
This year, Lebanon Intermediate School onboarded its first Aevidum Club, a student-led initiative dedicated to shattering the silence around mental health. Aevidum, a nonprofit organization with the powerful message of "I've Got Your Back," is all about promoting self-care, acceptance, and emotional well-being. Club members meet bi-weekly to plan school-wide activities that encourage a positive, supportive culture. In March, LIS students traveled to Allentown to join peers from 52 school districts across 17 counties in PA for an empowering day of emotional wellness activities. Together, they unpacked their emotional backpacks and embraced the power of healing and connection. We’re excited for the future of the Aevidum Club and their mission to spread awareness, appreciation, and care throughout our school community!
