Congratulations to this year’s Scholastic Art Awards! This national exhibition is the nation’s longest running and most prestigious art award program for creative teens in grades 7-12. Out of the 7,449 art submissions nation-wide: only 455 received a Gold Key, 519 received a Silver Key, and just 935 received an Honorable Mention. For more information, see artandwriting.org

Jostens set the original baby-ad deadline as January 31 and then kindly offered an extension until February 6 at midnight. That new deadline has since passed...no exceptions at this point due to a very tight production schedule. However, there is still time to order a copy of the MHS yearbook online. If you haven't already, click on this link: BUY A YEARBOOK. Thanks in advance for your support!

FROM MEDFIELD TOGETHER
In recognition of Black History Month, Medfield Together is holding its second annual Black History Knowledge Quest highlighting achievements and contributions of Black historical figures past and present. Various businesses and sites in the downtown area will serve as a Knowledge Quest "portal" displaying a placard featuring the achievements and contributions of a figure in Black history. This is a family friendly activity appropriate for all ages. Participants who complete the Quest will have the opportunity to enter a contest to win prizes including one of three $25 gift certificates to Park Street Books!
To participate, find the portal locations, and get additional information, please visit www.medfieldtogether.com.
