Not often do I plug a cause by asking for donations. This cause, though, gets my time and I would like it to get your money (it gets my money also). A while back one of the teachers at my high school – you would think I was still in school, not on the board,… Continue reading Donations Welcome
To celebrate a state championship in football and a very successful fall sports season – both on and off the field as the overall grade average of all fall sports teams was a 92, the Maine-Endwell School District put on a parade for the both the school and the overall communities.
What else is there to do in small town America on a fall afternoon, or evening in some cases, than head to the local high school football game?

The vote includes expanding both the middle school and the high school with additional classrooms which will “eat into” current athletic fields. To offset this problem in… Continue reading Town Interferes in School District Vote
