Lisbon – On Thursday, December 2, a group of students from Lisbon Community School, Philip W. Sugg Middle School and Lisbon High School provided a night of Christmas Caroling at the Lamp Alzheimer’s Facility in Lisbon.  The Lamp’s Activity Director, Richelle Niles, welcomed the carolers and expressed her thanks on behalf of the residents and staff to the students in Lisbon for their gift of kindness by providing an evening of holiday cheer.  “Our students were thrilled to present this program for the second year,” comments Lisbon’s Community Resource  Coordinator, Monica Millhime.   “Thanks to the galvanized efforts by LCS Assistant Principal, Ryan Patrie, members of the LCS Student Council and Junior Volunteers from our elementary school were included this year.”  Parent volunteers,  Michelle Huston, Annette Wilson and Kathi Yergin assisted with photos and joined in the chorus.  Thanks to efforts by Heidi Patrie and Jim Millhime, personalized Santa hats were provided to all adding to the festive event.  Student volunteers Adam Thebeau provided the instrumental mix for the program and DJ Judd video tapped segments from the evening’s program.   “Once again the evening was nothing short of a miraculous time for all in attendance.  Students were already suggesting the new playlist for next year.  Lisbon is a wonderful community of sharing and caring students, parents, educators and community folks,” shared Millhime.  FMI on additional community events call 754-0021 or email mmillhime@lisbonschoolsme.org.
