The food pantry welcomes all neighbors facing THE FUTURE OF SAUGUS: These young citizens are the Saugus Middle High School students who participated in Student Government Day in the second floor auditorium of Saugus Town Hall last Friday (May 1). They were joined by elected and appointed town officials, who offered guidance and advice to the young Saugus citizens, who participated in a mock School Committee meeting, a mock Board of Selectmen’s meeting and a mock Town Meeting, using agendas that were crafted for each of the sessions. Some of these students have ambitions of eventually serving their hometown as elected leaders of tomorrow.

License numbers available at eriehome.com/erielicenses/ From Corinne Riley, the former selectman who is now dedicating the time she would spend on town government stuff to making Saugus better through volunteer projects: “I would like to give a huge ‘thank you’ to Greg Stefano, Pat Roche, and the Stefano Landscaping crew! They always support the Veterans, especially supporting the brick program. They went above and beyond recently to fix the bricks that were rising up because of frost heaves and roots! It looks awesome! Thank you again to a wonderful Saugus business volunteering their time to keep Veterans Park looking great!” From Precinct 10 Town Meeting Member Peter Manoogian: “I would like to give a ‘shout out’ to 2 SHS students who participated in Student Government Day (last Friday, May 1). “First is Annie Jean-Baptiste, a SMHS Senior, who served as Chairman of the Board of Selectmen. Annie is a highly motivated young woman who wants to pursue a career in law. This is Annie’s second year participating in Saugus Student Government Day. Second is Nick Shaw, a SMHS Sophomore, who is fully engaged in all things government. He represented Saugus High School at State Student Government Day and this is his second year participating in Saugus Student Government Day.” From Precinct 2 Town Meeting Member Robert J. Camuso, Jr.: “Today (May 3) finished the town Precinct Cleanups led by our Elected officials. The Precincts involved were 1, 2, 5, 8 & 9. Hoping more Precincts get involved for one day a year, at least to care about our community. Someone actually found money cleaning up also! A special thank you to Junkster (aka Leo Getz) none of these cleanups could have taken place without his generosity! We found more work to be done in an unsuspected place(s) around town which needs addressing. Overall, these last few weeks of cleaning up our town was a good start, but there’s a lot more work that needs to be done!” Want to “Shout Out” a fellow Saugonian? This is an opportunity for our paper’s readers to single out – in a brief mention – remarkable acts or achievements by Saugus residents or an act of kindness or a nice gesture. Just send an email (mvoge@comcast.net) with a mention in the subject line of “An Extra Shout Out.” No more than a paragraph; anything longer might lend itself to a story and/or a photo.
