Lisbon – Members of the Lisbon High School Interact Club supported a fall community service project during September benefiting New Beginnings in Lewiston. Bill Denehy and Christine Wilson, members of the Lewiston-Auburn Rotary Club, invited Interact members to assist with gathering clothes for homeless teens as a back-to-school program. “Students and staff at LHS donated gently used and new clothes, some with tags still attached,” shares committee chairperson Samantha Foote. Thanks to assistance from LACO (Lisbon Area Christian Outreach) and Guidance Secretary, Lorraine Bard, students stored donations during the month and committee members Kristianna Benoit, Ginny and Sydney Tolbert packed their Interact Advisor’s car for delivery to the Rotary Club. “Our Interact students have scheduled a number of community service projects throughout the school year in Lisbon and the greater community,” comments Advisor, Monica Millhime. “Students meet every other week at 7 a.m. to plan events and with the assistance of the Rotary fellowship in Lewiston, every project has a positive impact and a real-life lesson for our students.” FMI on other events and programs in Lisbon Schools email mmillhime@lisbonschoolsme.org or call 754.0021.
