What a treat last night to attend the meeting where the Medfield Foundation volunteer of the year were selected. The variety and depth of the volunteer work that people in Medfield are doing is astonishing, and will knock your socks off when you hear about it.
A great innovation this year thanks to Ellen Bankert’s suggestion that the youth nominees, who are all Medfield High School students, present what they are doing or have done to an assembly at the Blake Middle School, to educate and inspire the middle school kids about opportunities for service. I crossed paths with BMS principal Nat Vaughn this morning at a meeting and mentioned that idea to him, and he liked it. We agreed that it would be great experience for both the high school students who present and for the middle school students who listen. I suggested that we try to institutionalize the BMS assembly as an annual part of the youth volunteer of the year process.
