The deadline has passed on senior portraits, senior bios, and senior "Can You Imagine" submissions, but now is a great time for families and friends to order/design recognition ads (AKA baby ads) to honor the graduating seniors. Jostens, in charge of that online process, has set the deadline for January 31. Here is the link: https://www.jostens.com/apps/store/ybAdDesigner/1549546/-/2020070904243269054/CATALOG_SHOP/. If you have any questions, please let Jostens know. Their recognition ad phone line is 800-358-0800.
On a separate note, if you have any photos you can submit to fit certain themes (senior sunsets at Hospital Hill, freshman fun outside of school, grade-by-grade random candids during the past several months, and senior throwbacks), please label them as such and upload them via this private link: https://images.jostens.com/415464605. If you get a screen asking you for a User ID, type in this number: 415464605.
Finally, if you want to order a copy of the yearbook, please use this link: http://jostensyearbooks.com/?REF=A01095588. Thanks in advance for your support!

MHS SITE COUNCIL MEMBERS NEEDED!
Each school building has a Site Council that serves as an advisory board to the principal. The Council consists of parents, school personnel, and sometimes a community member for the purposes of advising the building principal on various issues such as school practices and procedures. The Council also assists with the development of the annual School Improvement Plan. Principal Robert Parga is currently seeking parent members for the 2020-2021 MHS Site Council. Please email him at rparga@email.medfield.net, for further information or if you're interested in running for a position on the MHS Site Council.
Please join us on Tuesday, November 17th at 7:00 PM for Medfield SEPAC's meeting. We will be reviewing the November 6th SEPAC survey results including questions, concerns, and positive feedback with the Director of Student Services, Mary Bruhl.
