LISBON — Carolyn Shane, fourth-grade student in Gretchen Steven’s class at Lisbon Community School, is following in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother.
Prior to the start of school, Carolyn was determined to make a difference in the lives of children at the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital. She collected and donated two boxes of books and delivered them to the hospital with the help of her mom, Pam Shane of Lisbon.
Shane is a Lisbon volunteer and contributed 1,997.5 hours to the Lisbon School Department last year along with her mother, Maxine Shane, fourth-grade teacher at LCS, who contributed close to 100 hours.
“We teach our children by example,” said Pam. “My mom instilled in me at an earlier age the value of helping others, and I’m raising Carolyn to understand that too.”
