Lisbon - Members of the Lisbon Community School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) spent St. Patrick’s Day at the Lisbon Transfer Station dumpster diving for students. During the day members of the elite force of divers spread awareness of Box Top for Education collection and the aluminum tab pulling. The dedicated, expertly skilled divers collected 304 Box Tops, 266 pull tabs, 80 Coke Reward points and 11.45 in return-ables. The Box Tops, return-ables and Coke reward points are used by the PTO as additional resources to provide great monthly free, family oriented events. Redemptions from the collection help pay for field trips and requested supplies by staff not covered in the school’s budget. The event was a huge success spreading awareness in the community. The Dumpster Diving team will meet again at the Transfer Station in Lisbon on Saturday, April 21 and May 19.
