The Saugus Middle-High School Ski and Board Club is again hitting the slopes this winter, with the help of WIN Waste Innovations. WIN Waste again made a $10,000 donation that covers most of the transportation costs for the weekly ski trips, reducing fees so that more students could afford to be a part of the experience, according to Jill Lauziere, a parent volunteer who coordinates the Ski and Board Club. “The transportation is so expensive,” Lauziere said. “We need coach buses to carry all the equipment. The support from WIN is giving kids an opportunity they might not otherwise have.” The Saugus students and 8-10 adult chaperones travel to Pat’s Peak in Henniker, N.H. on five Mondays in January and February. They leave the middle-high school at approximately 1:30 p.m. and return at about 8:30, giving them about four hours on the slopes. “This is a program that Pat’s Peak runs and we participate in,” said Lauziere, adding that while some students have priLORUSSO | FROM PAGE 5 dog,” Penta added. “A stud of an athlete and tough as nails.

Lauziere, who is in her fourth year running the club, said WIN Waste has covered the cost of transportation all six years it has been in existence. “We value the strong partnerships we have across the Saugus community,” said Mary Urban, Senior Director of Communications & Community at WIN Waste Innovations. “We’re proud to support parents and teachers who give students access to extracurricular activities that encourage growth beyond academics and help build stronger communities.” “The Fashions of Downton Abbey” Feb. 21 Last Saturday’s snowstorm prompted the Saugus Public Library to close, leading to the cancellation of several programs – including “The Fashions of Downton Abbey.” Head Reference Librarian Lisa LeJeune announced this week that the program has been rescheduled for Saturday, February 21, at 1:30 p.m. in the Community Room.
