Lisbon - Students enrolled in the  Lisbon High School alternative education program at Gartley Street in Lisbon, visited the Community School on November 18.  Students met Lisa Brown, LCS teacher and co-chair of the program with Jennifer Robitaille, to donate locally purchased food items for the annual “Holiday Family” program supported by the staff of the school.  Staff are asked to share their nomination for the families they feel can use a little extra assistance during the holidays with gifts for their children, a hearty meal and other items.  The outpouring of contributions will benefit 18 families with 43 children.  Gartley Street students used funds for their donated items from revenues generated through their entrepreneurial successes from their Gartley Street Program E-Bay store managed and supported by students.
