Board adopts McGraw Hill 'Wonders' for Tiger Cubs pre‑K; approves wrestling travel
Summary
The board adopted McGraw Hill 'Wonders' for the district's Tiger Cubs preschool program launching in 2026–27 and approved overnight wrestling trips for boys and girls, including a semi‑state tournament; staff said the curriculum aligns with Indiana early learning standards and the 'science of reading.'
The Lebanon board voted to adopt McGraw Hill 'Wonders' as the curriculum for the district's Tiger Cubs community preschool (scheduled to open in 2026–27) and approved two overnight wrestling trips.
Staff presenting the Tiger Cubs curriculum noted McGraw Hill Wonders is a research-based program aligned with Indiana's Early Learning Foundations and the 'science of reading.' A staff member said the curriculum supports developmental preschool classrooms at the new center and at Perrybrook Elementary and emphasized integration of academic, social and emotional learning. "We reviewed several curriculums... overwhelmingly, this is what they selected was McGraw Hill Wonders," the presenter said.
On athletics, Mr. Martin requested approval for two wrestling overnight trips — the semi-state tournament and an after‑Thanksgiving tournament — and the board approved both travel requests.
What’s next: curriculum rollout tasks will proceed for the 2026–27 school year, including materials procurement and teacher preparation; athletics staff will finalize trip logistics.
