LISBON — Members of Topsham Grange 37, a community partner with the Lisbon School Department, have provided third-grade students at Lisbon Community School a personal dictionary through the Words for Thirds Dictionary Project since 2007.

Moving forward with their continued support to the school, members recently voted to award a $200 technology grant.

Laurie Adams, computer teacher at LCS, said the grant supports the BrainPOP program, an animated educational site for kids in science, social studies, English, math, arts, music, health, engineering and technology.

“The computer program is a valuable resource to integrate into the curriculum to teach and motivate students,” said Adams.

Assistant Principal Ryan Patrie said, “The grant will provide LCS students in grades one through five the ability to experience the inter-active software. We are extremely fortunate to have community partners like Topsham Grange support our school and our students by providing resources to continually improve our content areas.”
