FROM THE MCPE
Fall Ball tickets are still on sale and only 45 pairs of tickets are left! It has been a long four years since the last Fall Ball; though usually held biennially, the Fall Ball planned for 2020 was canceled due to Covid-19. We are all well overdue for a fabulous night! Held at Gillette Stadium, Fall Ball serves as the single largest fundraiser hosted by MCPE and is therefore critical to our ability to fund innovative educational grants that benefit Medfield schools. This year, Fall Ball will also serve as the kick-off for a special 35th Anniversary Appeal, which will fund ambitious projects in each of our five schools.
Fall Ball is also widely considered THE event of the Medfield social calendar. With heels and sequins, jackets and ties, drinks and dancing, Medfield parents regularly turn this educational fundraiser into a rollicking time. Fall Ball is a great chance to spend a special night out with a group of friends or neighbors, and to connect with other parents. Parents of seniors may find Fall Ball especially meaningful as they celebrate their child’s last year in the school system, and spend a memorable night with fellow parents of the class of 2023!
