Topsham Grange Awards Technology Grant to Lisbon School

Lisbon – Members of the Topsham Grange #37, a community partner with the Lisbon School Department, have provided third grade students at Lisbon Community School a personal dictionary through the Words for Thirds Dictionary Project since 2007.   Moving forward with their continued support to the school, members  recently voted on awarding a $200 technology grant. 

Laurie Adams, computer teacher at LCS, was delighted to learn of the grant to support the BrainPOP program.  BrainPOP is an animated educational site for kids in science, social studies, English, math, arts, music, health, engineering and technology.  “The computer program is a valuable resource to integrate into the curriculum to teach and motivate students,” commented Adams.  FMI community partnership opportunities contact Monica Millhime, Community Resource Coordinator by emailing mmillhime@lisbonschoolsme.org or call 754-0021.
