  • School Spirit Week This Year’S Town Report Is Dedicated to Chief David Brooks Serving the Citizens of Lisbon for 42 Years
    Androscoggin River Trail Pee Wee Football Champs School Spirit Week This year’s Town Report is dedicated to Chief David Brooks Serving the citizens of Lisbon for 42 Years Chief Brooks began his career in Lisbon in 1974 and was appointed to serve as Police Chief in 1980 at 26 years old. Since his retirement on June 30, 2016 he and his wife Lynn are enjoying the extra time with family and friends. Scott Stewart said Chief Brooks was an excellent mentor and helped him get into law enforce- ment. Chief Brooks indicated he wore his uniform 94.5% of the time during his tenure here. He reported public safety needs were not declining and that there had been an increase need for services since 2014. With calls on the rise, he always pro- vided the best service possible with the equipment and person- nel available. Chief Brooks brought many fed- eral dollars to Lisbon which pur- chased equipment and funded many special programs, like the $1,500 we received to run the Buckle Up-No Excuses Seat Belt Enforcement and Education Campaign or the $3,900 for the 2016 Evidence Based Impaired Driving High Visibility Enforce- ment Grant Award. Lisbon was recognized as the 12th safest Community in Maine to live, due in large part to the leadership and employ- ees in our public safety departments and the safety initiatives and improvements we have made over the years. Thank you Chief Brooks for your dedication and commitment over the years to the citizens of Lisbon. We have truly benefited.

  • School District of Black Hawk
    School District of Black Hawk August/September 2017 Message From The Principal Welcome parents and students to Black Hawk Schools, and the 2017-18 school year. I hope all of our families enjoyed their time this summer with their children, and have made many great memories. We look forward to working with you and doing our best to serve your student’s educational needs. We are very proud of our small school community, and believe that we can offer opportunities that will help make your children’s experience here a positive one. Please make sure to check out our school’s website and access the student handbooks that are posted online. These handbooks are linked under the parents/students tabs at the top of the page. The handbooks have information dealing with our schedules, grading policies, procedures, and behavioral expectations. If you a question on something in the handbook, please make sure you contact me at the school office. We have a new reading curriculum that we are introducing to 5K students to 2nd grade this year. It is called Superkids, and we are very excited at what the research has shown in regards to this reading curriculum. We hope that it pays dividends with your early readers. Academic success is based on students being able to read fluently in order to be able to comprehend, and process information as they get older. As with anything, the more practice a person gets at something, the better they will be. It is so important for parents to read with their children at home.
