LISBON —
Each week, teachers and students at Lisbon Community School are visited
by a number of volunteers.

Community members, employees from area businesses, parents or
grandparents who have attended a volunteer training class offered at the
school are welcome. Volunteers spend time assisting teachers in their
classrooms, working with students in smaller groups on specific
projects, and often times share a hobby of their own. 

During a recent classroom visit to students in Suzie Piraino’s
fourth-grade class, Patti Roberts of Turner shared her knowledge and
passion for woodworking. After the lesson, Roberts presented every
student with their own wooden spoon.

“Mrs. Roberts visits with my
students every week and works on fluency levels,” said Piraino. “They
love meeting with her each week to demonstrate their progress in
reading fluency.”
