Lisbon – Thanks to the support from Lisbon Community School’s Parent Teacher Organization, award winning illustrator, David Catrow, was invited to visit with students and staff on Monday, March 16.  Catrow spent the day presenting his work to over 600 students and teachers at the campus located at 33 Mill Street in Lisbon.  Catrow shared how he creates his illustrations, his work with various artists, and his social experiences as a child.  “Students were given the opportunity to meet with the artist during a book signing at the end of the day,” shared Katherine Dodge, Lisbon’s District Librarian.  “David inspired students to be creative and comfortable in their own work as artists.”  Catrow generously donated the artwork he created during his visit to the school.  He has published over 70 books including, Stand Tall, Molly Lou Melon, I Ain’t Gonna Paint No More, and I Like Myself.  Catrow has also worked on numerous television and movie productions.  FMI on other programs and projects, partnerships in education and/or volunteer opportunities in Lisbon Schools call 754.0021 or email mmillhime@lisbonschoolsme.org.  Like us on FaceBook at Community Resource News in Lisbon Schools.
