Maine-Endwell Middle School

WHY WEDNESDAY: We're thrilled to unveil our latest social media series, 'Why Wednesday.' Every week, we'll feature a member of the Maine-Endwell School District who will share their personal 'why' or purpose within our Spartan Family. Today, we have the honor of hearing from Mr. VanFossen, our District Superintendent, as he shares his 'why.'

Hey Spartans! The Spartan Pass program at the Southern Tier Community Center is back and better than ever! It's every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Come on over to swim, exercise, play games in the teen center, have a snack and more! The program is NOW OPEN TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS! Students 16-18 yrs. of age can come to the program unaccompanied. So, stop in before sports practices or in between games.
