Lisbon – Wal-Mart Distribution Center in Lewiston recently donated $250 to Lisbon Community School as part of Wal-Mart’s VAP (Volunteerism Always Pays) Program.  Phil Williams, an associate with Wal-Mart spent over 25 hours volunteering his time assisting Estes with Lisbon’s D.A.R.E. 5^th grade Bass Fishing Club.  The fishing club offered 24 fifth grade students two lessons of instruction and three fishing trips to Sabattus Lake.

“The Wal-Mart grant funds will be used to purchase additional titles for our library not currently budgeted,” shares Iverson.  “Our students benefit from the corporate grants and from our community partners’ employees volunteering time at our schools with real life experiences.”  Lisbon Community School located at 33 Mill Street, Lisbon, serves over 600 students from Pre-K to grade 5.
