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!

The Hannah Adams Woman's Club is the longest continuously-running women's club in America. It was inspired by Medfield resident Hannah Adams (1755-1831) who ran a similar group during her lifetime and who was the first woman in America to earn a living as a professional writer. HAWC is committed to supporting women and the community. For more information about the club, its activities, and/or the scholarship fund, please contact hannahadamswc@gmail.com or visit @hannahadamswomansclub on Facebook.
