CAFE READ-A-LATTE
The MHS Library staff is excited to announce the details for Café Read-a-Latte 2025! This year the dates will run March 3, 2025- March 7, 2025. Café Read-a-Latte is a time for students to visit the LMC and get some relaxing down time by visiting different stations with book/ reading themes. This year every student at MHS will get to visit our celebration of books and reading during their English class – and possibly Flex.
In order to make this year successful, we are looking for your help! There are two ways to help if you are interested:
1) We are looking for a few volunteers at the following time slots to help us oversee the stations in the Library. IF you are interested in this, you must have a CORI on file with the Medfield Public Schools (within the last year). It only takes a few minutes if you stop by the front office at MHS or Central Office with your driver's license.
2) Every student will get a free beverage and snack during their visit, so we are looking for the following snack and beverage donations. These can be dropped off any time before the March 4th kick off. You can leave them on a labeled table by the front office at MHS– or have your student deliver directly to the LMC.
Thank you so much for helping us make this a special experience for every student at MHS!

HS Theatre Society Announces Spring Play:
Peter and the Starcatcher
Performances at 7:00pm, March 7 and 8
MHS Auditorium
The cast and crew of MHS Theatre Society invite you to their spring play, Peter and the Starcatcher. You will not want to miss this story of magic, friendship, and love.
Have you ever wondered how Peter Pan came to be the boy who wouldn’t grow up? Well, it all started on a ship called the Neverland in 1855, with three orphaned boys and one fearless girl; who showed them that the magic of friendship is sometimes the most powerful thing there is. Molly, the daughter of Lord Aster, is a curious girl who accompanies her father as he goes on a mission for Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. She dreams to be a Starcatcher like her father, but never could have expected for her time to come so soon. Now, with a threat to her father’s mission, Molly must step up to the task. Prepare to embark on a magical adventure this March, following the story of Boy and Molly, as they brave the seven seas while warding off danger that lurks in the depths below.
