FROM MHS THEATRE
The MHS Theatre Society is hard at work preparing to perform A Wrinkle in Time on November 19th-20th. The play follows the story of a teenage girl named Meg Murry. In this staged retelling of Madeleine L’Engle’s beloved young adult novel, A Wrinkle in Time, Meg embarks on an extraordinary adventure through time and space. Along with her younger brother Charles Wallace, their friend Calvin, and the guidance of various mysterious celestial beings, Meg attempts to locate her father and, perhaps, to save the world from a force of darkness beyond recognition.
The MHS PTO Fall Annual Appeal continues! We did not run our appeal last year, so we are hoping for a successful campaign this year so we can fund grants that help enrich academic, athletic and extracurricular activities for all MHS Students. A donation of any amount is greatly appreciated. What does the PTO do? Check out this FLYER for more information.
There are two ways to donate:
1. Go to our website https://www.medfieldhspto.com/ and click on the DONATE button.
2. Send in a check made payable to MHS PTO with your student and drop off at the Main Office.
Thank you in advance for your generous donations!

WE WANT YOU!

Participants will receive 1.5 service hours, free food, and a $10 gift card to Blue Moon or Starbucks for participation. All responses will be anonymized and participation is completely voluntary.
Acceptance into the focus groups is first come, first serve. If a student is under 18, parents/guardians are required to sign a permission form.
The remaining available focus group is:
Thursday, October 28th during flex period, in-person
