LISBON — TD Bank has awarded a $250 grant to Lisbon Community School as part of the bank’s commitment to giving back to the community through its Employee Volunteer Program.

Lisbon School Volunteer and TD Bank employee, Heather L. Purdy-Scroggins, volunteered an additional 40 hours of personal service as an adult volunteer with the Lisbon School Department.

TD Bank awarded the grant as part of the bank’s Employee Volunteer Program, in which donations are made to nonprofit organizations in recognition of employee volunteer time with organizations.

School Principal Carlene Iverson said, “The school will use the grant monies to purchase additional reading books.”

The books will be used for resources in classroom instructions where funds were eliminated from the school budget due to the reductions in state and federal funding.
