Lisbon Seuss Bulletin Board Winners‏

LISBON DR. SEUSS BULLETIN BOARD WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

Lisbon – One of the highlights of the annual Dr. Seuss Birthday Celebration held at Lisbon Community School (LCS) on Friday, March 6, were the bulletin boards created by students and their teachers. “Grades pre-kindergarten through grade four participated,” shares Monica Millhime, Lisbon’s Community Resource Coordinator. “Teachers and students decided on themes, the layouts and the designs of their Dr. Seuss themed boards and were very excited to have completed their contest entry by the night of the event.”

Over 400 attendees were invited to tour the LCS campus prior to the featured guest readers to vote for their favorite display. “The energy was kinetic throughout the school leading up to the evening events. Students also had an opportunity to tour the displays and were quick to compliment the various participating classrooms. Entries featured some of the all-time favorite Seuss books and provided lessons in creativity, teamwork, strategic planning and the ability to meet deadlines.”
