REMINDER: CLASS DUES

Class Dues of $20 are collected each year from students who attend Medfield High School. These funds are used to offset the cost of class events and to seed additional fundraising efforts. For seniors, the funds are used to purchase caps and gowns for graduation, class gifts, and to offset the cost of senior events such as the Senior Cruise and the senior night out at Forekicks. Families have been invoiced for the 2022-2023 academic year. If you have any questions about the balance for which you are invoiced, please contact Maura Fitzgerald at mfitzgerald@email.medfield.net. If your family is in need of financial assistance, please contact Brenda Hagan at bhagan@email.medfield.net.

FROM THE MCPE

 Fall Ball tickets are still on sale! 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!
