Lisbon – On Friday morning, October 15, Lisbon Community School’s assistant principal, Ryan Patrie, experienced a great way to end a school week.  Thanks to the combined efforts of community partners and volunteers, students at Lisbon Community School received a generous donation of school supplies.  Members of the Lisbon United Methodist Women Evening Circle presented Patrie with numerous pairs of scissors, notebooks, pencils, markers, colored pencils, crayons, notebook paper, glue, erasers, rulers, glue sticks, pens, pencil boxes, highlighters, backpacks, pencil sharpeners and more.   Earlier in the school year, members of the LCS PTO and PWS PAG also provided backpacks and school supplies to the elementary and middle school for distribution of supplies to any student needing supplies.  “Lisbon is a very giving and caring community,” shares Patrie.  “Thanks to the call to action by our parent groups and the other concerned members of the community, no child in Lisbon is lacking supplies needed in the classroom.”
