Lisbon Volunteers Support MDA‏

LISBON SCHOOLS’ JUNIOR VOLUNTEERS SUPPORT MDA

Lisbon – Student members of the Lisbon School Department volunteer force are supporting the fundraising efforts for Muscular Dystrophy.  Philip W. Sugg Middle School eighth grade student, Alyssa Briglio introduced a district-wide campaign to put your muscle behind MDA with your spare change!  Committee members from all three schools joined Alyssa at Food City in Lisbon Falls on Saturday, May 5 for the first of two tag days planned for the project.   The event was a huge success collecting $425 thanks to the generous contributions from Lisbon area residents and a donation of $240 from Food City Manager, Jeff Eldridge.  Eldridge invites  shoppers to contribute to local charities each year in support of the specific campaigns.   Members of the LHS Interact Club contributed $100 thanks to a $2,000 WCSH6 Teens Who Care award.  Alyssa’s goal is $1,000 to support the local programs provided by the Muscular Dystrophy Association.   Pictured (l-r) LHS Interact sophomore committee chair, Robert Dall; PWS seventh grade student, Silas Crosby; LHS Interact member, Melissa Hoskins; Alyssa Briglio; and LHS Interact President, Abigail Roy,  Front row:  school mascot Lissie the Greyhound; and LCS fifth grade student and junior volunteer secretary, Geoffrey Shambarger.  Students will be collecting donations at the Lisbon Transfer Station on Saturday, May 19 from 9 to 11 a.m.  rain or shine.  FMI please contact advisor, Monica Millhime, 754.0021 or email mmillhime@lisbonschoolsme.org.  Check out all the latest programs and events on Facebook at Community Resource News in Lisbon Schools.  Photo by Heidi Coulombe.
