John P Winners 2022

A BIG thank you to all the MHS students, staff, alumni and families that supported the John Panciocco Softball Tournament on October 8th.  It was a beautiful fall day filled with friendly competition, lots of laughs and great memories!  The Alumni Association raised over $7,000 to go towards future scholarships given out to MHS seniors in John Panciocco’s memory.

FROM THE MHS PTO

Please look out for a handout from the PTO in your student’s backpacks!

Thank you to those who have already donated, but we’ve received the lowest % of donations from the school since the PTO was established! Please allow the PTO to continue to support student & teacher needs, from Scholarships, Teacher Appreciation luncheons and Grant Initiatives.

The generosity of the Medfield community enables MCPE to provide monetary support for all schools through grants for specific projects and initiatives that support the development of innovative programs, curriculum, and enrichment that would otherwise be outside the parameters of the school budget. There are kids in every single grade benefitting from MCPE-funded projects today. And this is only possible because of generous parents like YOU!
