Take a look at a “work in progress” artistic endeavor!
The Maine-Endwell High School oil painting class is currently painting chairs designed to be a classroom reading chair, or a child’s bedroom chair, or just a conversation piece! The options are limitless.
The bidding will begin on Feb.1st with a silent auction form on the website and will also be sent out district wide. The bidding begins at $10.00 for each chair. This is a fundraiser for M-E Art Club to help students defray the cost of going to NYC in May.
The bidding will end on February 28th. Be the first one to have a unique, hand painte chair that will cheer up any space! More information to come next week!

The NYS Education Dept.

A survey will be sent home to students in grades EK-2. Please return it in your student's blue folder by Friday, Dec. 17. If you have a student in grades 3-12, they will complete this survey during the school day.

Congratulations to November's Teacher of the Month, Hilary Ciaravino! Ms. Ciaravino was nominated by new World Languages teacher, Shannan Meilunas. Here is what Mrs. Meilunas had to say: I am a new teacher and she has been absolutely amazing. 1. She checks on me constantly during her free periods to make sure things are going okay and to update me on things I might have missed in my email. 2. She helps me with lesson planning and lets me know her schedule for the week so that we are teaching the same topics from the curriculum maps at the same time. 3. She is always lending a hand, making me feel better, and helping me to acclimate to M-E 4. She is an amazing teacher. Her students love her. Her lessons are fun, engaging, and align with the standards. It is great to see her in action. She cares about her students and knows best how to teach them French and Spanish.
