Lisbon Students' Healthy Decisions Day‏

  A group of Lisbon High School Students showed support for nine year old, Matthew McKay, son of LHS Math Teacher, Todd McKay during the school’s Annual Healthy Decisions Day.  Medical testing required Matthew’s head to be shaved.  The project was suggested by LHS junior, Kyle Frazier.  Joining the Solidarity movement, Jeff Bineau, owner of Hair Razors in Lisbon volunteered his entire staff to assist.  The event was offered as one of the workshop to students during the school’s Healthy Decisions Day recognizing the medical issues surrounding seizures.
