Lisbon Student Donates Books‏

Volunteering and Giving By Example

 Carolyn Shane of Lisbon donated books for children at the Barbara Bush Hospital in Portland as her own volunteer project over the summer.  Alice Burrows of BBH gave Carolyn a tour of the unit while making her delivery.

Lisbon – Carolyn Shane, fourth grade student in Gretchen Steven's class at Lisbon Community School, is following in her mom’s and grandmother’s footsteps.  Prior to the start of school, Carolyn was determined to make a difference in the lives of children at the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital.  She collected and donated two boxes of books and delivered them to the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital with the help of her mom, Pam Shane of Lisbon.  Ms. Shane is a Lisbon volunteer and contributed 1997.5 hours to the Lisbon School Department last year along with her mom, Maxine Shane, fourth grade teacher at LCS who contributed close to 100 hours. “We teach our children by example,” shares Pam.  “My mom instilled in me at an earlier age the value of helping others, and I’m raising Carolyn to understand that too.”  FMI on volunteer opportunities in the Lisbon School District call 754.0021 or email mmillhime@lisbonschoolsme.org.
