The award has been renamed in honor of the memory of Ashlee Stone. The third of four awards for the year, honors a sixth, seventh and eight grade student. Thompson congratulated the students along with Mandy Stone. “This award is given in the memory of Ashlee Stone, a seventh grade student, who was a positive role model in our school,” shared Thompson. “Ashlee was known for her willingness to learn, having a positive attitude, being respectful to adults and her peers, being a risk taker, persevering when the going got rough, handling conflict with grace, being a friend to everyone, being a leader, and especially for her smile. These students were chosen for this award because they demonstrate all or many of these qualities,” said Thompson.

“Travis Caton, a sixth grade student, is the son of Kendra Fletcher of Lisbon. He sets high standards for himself and works hard to achieve his goals,” shares Thompson. “He is polite and respectful to both his peers and his teachers. He always has a smile and is eager to learn something new and share his knowledge.”

“Seventh grade student, Paula Caron, is the daughter of Lisa and George Caron of Lisbon Falls. Paula is an absolute sweetheart of a student. She is a hard working, independent thinker who is not afraid to try new experiences,” according to Thompson. “Paula is polite, patient, humble, hard-working, helpful, a dedicated and dependable student who is a Lisbon Junior Volunteer, an art club member and is on the Academic Advocate student newspapers staff and she deserves to be recognized.”

“Zachariah Cribbin, an eighth grader, is the son of Lashawnda Merrill of Lisbon,” shares Thompson. “Zach possesses the characteristics of a student who takes great personal pride in his academic achievements and his service to the school. Zach is active in both student council and yearbook and is always willing to help out classmates.
