LISBON STUDENTS ATTEND LUNCHEON WITH SENATOR ANGUS KING

 

Lisbon - Lisbon High School siblings Jeffrey and Anna Willey, along with student peers Connor Craig, Ryley Austin, Alex Couillard, Jonah Sautter and Hayley Wheeler were invited to attend a weekly Rotary meeting on Thursday, April 2nd.  Students and Civics teacher, Paul Giggey, were guests of Lisbon’s Community Resource Coordinator and Rotarian, Monica Millhime.  “The students’ attendance at the luncheon was supported by The MELMAC Education Foundation grant awarded to the high school connecting student aspirations to a plan after graduation,” shares Millhime.  “Throughout the school year students are invited to attend Rotary meetings to provide them with an opportunity to meet members of civic-organizations and gain insight in specific areas of interest provided by guest speakers.”   Students were welcomed by Rotary President, Christine Wilson, who thanked them for their attendance and their prepared questions for Senator King. “I very much enjoyed my trip to listen to Senator King's speech,” commented Jeffrey Willey. “It was very educational and delightful.  Putting aside the lovely occasion, dining hall, and gourmet dining, King's speech was certainly the most interesting of them all.  He had insightful opinions on the inner workings of the Senate.  He was also very informational and provided elaborate detail on how and why certain things were, and were not, accomplished in the Capitol.”  Lewiston-Auburn meets at the Ramanda Inn in Lewiston on Thursdays at noon.  Guests are always welcomed.  FMI on events, programs, partnerships in education and volunteer opportunities in Lisbon Schools call 754.0021 or email mmillhime@lisbonschoolsme.org.  Find the latest news and updates on FaceBook at Community Resource News in Lisbon Schools.  Photo courtesy of Monica Millhime.

Lisbon HS to Host FUSE Siemens Event‏

LISBON STUDENTS INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN FUSE CHALLENGE

High school students try out FUSE challenges of Wind Commander and a Solar Roller at a Siemens outreach event.

Lisbon – A group of 60 Lisbon High School (LHS) freshman students will be participating in green technologies program called FUSE on Tuesday, April 14.   The FUSE program invites young people to explore hands-on challenges inspired by real-world STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and design practices.  FUSE is a new kind of interest-driven learning experience developed by researchers and educators in the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University.  Siemens has partnered with Northwestern and created classes offered to students in grades K-12. 

The Siemens Building Technologies Division in Buffalo Grove, Ill., is the North American market leader for safe and secure, energy-efficient and environment-friendly building and infrastructures.  As a technology partner, service provider, system integrator and product vendor, Building Technologies has offerings for fire protection, life safety and security as well as building automation, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and energy management. 

The FUSE program offers a wide array of challengers that appeal to students’ existing interests in music, design, and pop culture.  Students work in teams of five at their own pace to complete the FUSE challenges, leveling up through increasingly complex projects and producing unique artifacts along the way.  FUSE Facilitators for the event at LHS, 2 Sugg Drive, Lisbon Falls, will be Science Teachers Rita Newell and Anne Wallace.  Teachers will assist with problem solving during the challenges presented by the complex projects.  Combining STEM programs with FUSE classes provides an additional approach to the sciences for a more diverse group of students. 

Siemens is supporting the development of FUSE challenges in Lisbon and Gardiner Schools as part of their Green Footprint program.  Students at both locations will have the opportunity to try out the challenges and build their own wind turbines and solar cars.  To learn more about the Siemens Building Technologies Division visit  www.usa.siemens.com/buildingtechnologies.  FYI or other events and programs, volunteer and partnership opportunities in Lisbon Schools call 754.0021 or email mmillhime@lisbonschoolsme.org.  The latest updates can be found at Community Resource News in Lisbon Schools on FaceBook.
