Sanford Middle School’s new ski club kicked off on Tuesday, February 27th. Spearheaded by Principal Pam Lydon and math teacher Penny Christy, the club aims to encourage students to embrace the great outdoors, engage in physical activity, and embark on new experiences beyond what the middle school already has to offer. Every Tuesday until March 19th, middle school students head to Pleasant Mountain in Bridgton to take ski and snowboard lessons. Principal Lydon and Mrs. Christy put together a proposal for the club to get approved by the school committee. Once it was approved, Lydon engaged the school staff, presenting the club’s concept to ensure adequate support and participation from chaperones. Following the green light to get the club rolling, Lydon and Christy put out sign-up sheets and gave a timeline for students to pick up their information packets. There was also a minimal cost to join the club. The response so far has been positive, with nearly 30 students committing to join the ski club. Notably, the ski club also provided an opportunity for students who had never before attempted skiing or snowboarding to discover a newfound passion. The first trip to Pleasant Mountain was a roaring success, according to Lydon. Students were smiling and Lydon said she received praise from the resort’s staff about the positive behavior displayed by Sanford students.
