Lisbon - Lisbon High School will present Everyone’s Someone Day in conjunction with the national Spread the Word to End the R-Word Campaign on Wednesday, March 7, 2012, another activity sponsored by Lisbon’s Project UNIFY Team.  The focus for the day is to recognize that Everyone is Someone and we need to share that with positive words instead of words that are hurtful and mean.  Students and Staff will agree to wear a nametag describing who they are without using their names.  Everyone is someone special and sharing something about themselves will promote a positive image and allow students and staff to connect with others that may have something in common with them.  Everyone is a friend, a sister, a brother, a student, a dancer, a musician, a basketball player etc…..everyone’s someone and has the right to be treated with respect .   There will be a chance throughout the day for students who want to pledge their support  by signing a large poster and/or going on line to pledge to end the use of hurtful words specifically the “R” word. All students and staff who participate will be entered into a raffle for items such as T-Shirts, bracelets, etc. at the end of the day.  Jump on board with Lisbon High School’s  Project UNIFY planning committee to spread the word that NO HURTFUL OR MEAN WORDS will be used Wed. March 7, 2012 at Lisbon High School and hopefully from this day on. Preparing for the upcoming day  by creating posters and organizing activities are members of  Project UNIFY .

Lisbon Parent/Volunteers Thanks Mr. Patrie‏

Good Morning,

Every now and then, we all receive good news. Following is an email from Laurie Pitcher, a Lisbon parent and volunteer for the Lisbon School Department, praising our Lisbon Community School Assistant Principal, Ryan Patrie. I wanted to share with you to see if her message could be shared with your readers.

Mr. Patrie shows random acts of kindness on a regular basis. What a wonderful role model for our students and families.

If you have any questions, please let me know. We understand you have the right to edit for publication. Thank you for your consideration.

Hi Monica,


I would like to publicly thank Mr. Ryan Patrie, assistant principal at Lisbon Community School, for helping me this afternoon and I knew you would know how to go about this. I thought about a letter to the editor and/or school board, but I am not sure if there is another avenue.


This afternoon I was stuck in the mud at pick up time at LCS. You can't imagine how many cars drove right past me looking at me struggling to get my car out of the mud, some of the drivers even smirking in amusement as they drove by. I was amazed at the lack of compassion from all the adults driving past me, not one stopping to help. It actually brought back a memory of when my oldest daughter was a freshman and threw up in the hallway not being able to make it to the bathroom in time. She verbalized amazement at the same exact lack of compassion she saw. No one offered her help, many laughed at her.


I just got done helping my 7 and 5 yr olds make posters for kindness week at LCS and am struck by the helpfulness and kindness that I have witnessed in the younger ages. Why does that kindness and compassion have to leave the majority of the population and at what age does this occur? There are so few people in this world that really have a heart and I am saddened by that.


BUT, I do see in Mr. Patrie constant giving, a constant smile, a constant manner of kindness. He is such an asset to our school system. Today, I called into the school office asking if there was anyone that could come help me with a push or to drive my car so I could push it out of the mud. A secretary answered the phone. A minute later Mr. Patrie came out to help me and he pushed me out of the mud without question and always a smile. I felt so bad that I got him full of mud and apologized to him, but he said, "don't apologize". I need to do something for him.





Thank you, Monica,


Laurie Pitcher

Lisbon HS Thespians Prepare for One-Act Festival‏

LISBON HIGH SCHOOL THESPIANS PREPARE FOR ONE-ACT COMPETITION

Lisbon - In preparation for the annual MPA One Act Play Festival, Lisbon High School Drama Club proudly presents The Boor, by Anton Chekhov.

This short farce written in 1888 shows the characteristics of the genre in its rapid-fire dialogue, extreme emotions, chaotic arguments and surprising reversals. Anton Chekhov demonstrates how intense emotions can easily blend from one into the other.
  
A widow, who mourns for her husband seven months after his death, is approached by one of his creditors, a man in dire financial circumstances who desperately requires the money that the widow's husband owed him. The exchange between the widow and the creditor quickly progresses from polite to an explosive battle of the sexes, and the creditor, who expresses his negative opinion of women in general, is transformed by the spirit with which the widow argues with him.
   
Performances on Friday, March 2nd and Saturday, March 3rd at Lisbon High School, 2 Sugg Drive in Lisbon Falls at 7:00pm and the Festival Performance will be held on Saturday, March 10th between 12:00- 4:00pm at Leavitt Area High School.

LHS Class of 2014 On the Move and Blazing New Horizons

Lisbon – Members of the Lisbon High School Class of 2014 have been visiting colleges and participating in a pilot program for testing.  Recently sophomores visited Central Maine Community College (CMCC) and attended mini-class sessions during the annual Career Fair.  Students were encouraged to ask questions and view the facility during the half day visit to the CMCC campus.  During the last week in January, members of the class were invited to be volunteers for the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude (ASVAB).  The test is designed to assess a student’s ability to learn new skills and serves as a predictor of success in training and education programs.  An interest inventory based on John Holland’s theory of career choice is included as a component of the test.  Students can use their individual test results with the OCCU-Find career as an exploration tool. 

A total of 32 students volunteered for the testing.  Early indicators reveal the program was very successful.  An incentive for students who volunteered for the pilot program received a USB key of their design choice. Incentives were provided by MELMAC Foundation.  A  grand prize of an IPod touch with a camera was won by Emma Wilson.  LHS Guidance Counselors, Jean Dolan and David Ferrick, are exploring  the possibility of making this an annual test for ALL Sophomores.
