Lisbon - On Friday November 13, 2009 the Philip W. Sugg Middle School seventh grade parents and teachers hosted a spaghetti supper to raise money for Camp Kieve.  Camp Kieve is a leadership team building camp.  Each year, the seventh graders raise money to attend the camp for a week.  Fundraising has been getting harder each year with the economy.  Despite the economy, people were “hungry” to support the seventh graders and enjoyed good food cooked and donated by parents, staff and local area businesses.

 A raffle for 100 gallons of oil, donated by Piela Oil in Lisbon, raised $1000 for the students.  There were also many other silent auction items donated for the fundraiser.   The dinner and silent auction raised $1900.   During the evening, the Lisbon families who hosted the Haunted House presented a donation of $1150 from the Halloween event to seventh grade teacher, Mrs. Laurie Deraspe, in support of the Camp Kieve project. “We raised money at the Haunted House and wanted to make this donation.   Thanks to the volunteer efforts of Walter and Karen Morse, Dean and Jen Wiley, Erik and Christy Le, my wife and myself, along with a number of other volunteers we wanted to make this contribution so you may go and enjoy Camp Kieve,” shared Kevin Plourde. 

  “The spaghetti supper was absolutely a complete success,” commented Mrs. Deraspe.   “We raised over $1000 from the spaghetti dinner.”  The evening was a success due to the help from parents, staff and the community. Everyone walked out the doors of PWS with their bellies full and happy they had helped the students of seventh grade students attend Camp Kieve for a week in March.
