FROM MHS THEATRE
It’s HERE! The MHS Theatre Society will 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.
Performance times - Nov. 19th and 20th at 7:00 pm. Purchase your tickets here: https://www.ticketsource.us/medfield-high-school-theatre-society

FROM THE ANGP
ATTENTION ALL SENIOR PARENTS!
The time is approaching for the All Night Grad Party Committee to start planning the Senior Celebration of the Year!! We are really hoping the party can return back to its original all nighter inside the High School, but we need to understand the COVID rules and regulations nearer the time. HOWEVER like the previous two years, there will definitely be a celebration of sorts and we can’t do it without the generous support from all the community, especially the Senior Parents. The average cost of the party per student is over $100. In order for EVERY senior to be included, we make the event ticketless and rely solely on donations and fundraising initiatives.
Please consider making a donation for your Senior to experience what has been described as the best experience of their Senior Year. As a thank you for your donation - your senior will receive a Class of 2022 Car Magnet. THANK YOU and here’s to a fantastic Senior Year for our kids!!!
Please donate at www.medfieldangp.com
