We are currently undergoing a project to increase the number of security cameras to the interior and exterior of the school. The cameras provide increased coverage of public spaces in and around the school to assure the safety of our school community. Summer break is one of best times to provide large scale physical improvements to the building. There will be no scheduled activities at Lisbon this summer to allow for multiple enhancements. We have complete replacement projects scheduled for our roof and tiled floors both in the building the music portable. Additionally, we are having the gym floor sanded and refinished. We are preparing an area currently used for a display case to hang a permanent art display as part of our 40th anniversary celebration. We appreciate everyone who has purchased a Pride Brick thus far and encourage everyone to take advantage of the sale prices! See the flier further down in the newsletter for details!
