Lisbon PWS Students Attend Service-Learning @ Beaver Park‏

LISBON PWS STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT AT BEAVER PARK

Beaver Park Ranger, Verla Brooks, guides students from Philip W. Sugg Middle School in Lisbon during a service-learning project.

Lisbon - Students at Philip W. Sugg (PWS) Middle School recently completed a service-learning project at Beaver Park in Lisbon.  Located off of Cotton Road, Beaver Park is a family oriented day use park that is used by residents and non-residents of Lisbon.  The project was initiated by teachers and staff at PWS, consisting of Ms. Sue Welch, Mrs. Veronica Koza, and Mrs. Karen Bergeron.

Under the direction of Verla Brooks, park ranger, the PWS students dismantled a bridge that was in much needed repair.  From there, students transported materials and select natural resources to the bridge site on the trail.  Beginning with the moment the students arrived on the work site and throughout the process, student showed great initiative and motivation to overcome the natural obstacles and to get the job done right.  "I am not surprised by the great effort and results these students put forth on this project, in fact, they do this everyday in some of the most difficult and challenging tasks here at school.  I am very proud of these students and excellent work they have done for the betterment of our school and community," said Assistant Principal Thomas Landberg.

The Park also provides a cross-country course for the PWS and Lisbon High School cross country teams, hosting two events annually. Be sure to visit Beaver Park to experience the natural beauty of the Maine woods here in Lisbon.
