If you watched the nurse's video from the Open House, there is a correction about the flu vaccine. It is NOT mandatory this year. Our apologies for the misinformation - last year's mandate was lifted. Thank you.

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.

DIGNITY MATTERS
There is a menstrual product fundraiser going on at the high school until October 20th. Menstrual product items are considered a luxury and therefore many shelters do not carry them. Possible donation items include tampons, pads, panti liners and diva cups. Donations can be dropped off in the “Dignity Matters” bin in the main foyer below the front staircase. For any questions, please contact Maddie Curmi at mdcurmi2022@email.medfield.net
BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION
Box Tops are still being collected and the money raised will benefit Blake Middle School.
