Photovoice Gallery to Showcase Medfield High School Student Art and Wellness Project Public Walkthrough on January 22 at Medfield High School Library

Medfield, MA — Members of the public are invited to attend a gallery walkthrough of the Medfield Photovoice student art project on January 22 from 3:30–4:30 p.m. at the Medfield High School Library.

Through a variety of expressive media, including photo collages, triptych art, light painting, and digital art, Medfield High School students explored a series of prompts reflecting the positive and negative influences on their health and well-being. Each project is accompanied by student-written captions designed to inspire education, reflection, and community dialogue about the experiences and challenges facing Medfield youth.

Medfield Photovoice is a collaborative effort between the Medfield Cares About Prevention (MCAP) community coalition, the Bellforge Arts Center, and the Medfield High School Art Department. Originally developed in 1992 by Caroline C. Wang and Mary Ann Burris, the Photovoice model is a participatory health promotion strategy that empowers individuals to examine personal and community issues through the lens of photography. This project supports MCAP’s ongoing Action Plan to advance youth health and wellness in Medfield through education, empowerment, and community-driven change.

The reception will also feature spoken reflections from selected Medfield students, accompanied by live music from the Medfield Guitar Club.

For additional information, please contact Krissy King at kking@medfield.net.

Black Out at Budget Workshop

Posted on December 3, 2025 | 2 comments

MEDFIELD POLICE DEPARTMENT photo –

The Warrant Committee’s joint budget workshop with the Select Board and School Committee last night was ended by this tree on the wires along Main Street that turned off the electricity to the Medfield High School library, putting the meeting into darkness – the MHS’s emergency generator failed to come on. The meeting proceeded in the dimness for a short time illuminated only by the light from the computer screens and cell phones, and apparently was still being broadcast on backup power.

The workshop discussion will be re-scheduled and the discussions will continue.

Issue = only an additional 1.2% budget monies are available for spending increases for FY27, so even level funding is not possible. Plus large capital expenses required:

  1. $120 m. required to repair town buildings over the next 20 years.
  2. $100 m. required in next 5 years for priority building repairs – roofs and building envelopes.
  3. Dale Street School must be replaced.

Overrides seem needed, unless residents want fewer services.

Thank you to the Warrant Committee for starting the discussion!

From Viktorria Glissendorf at Medfield Outreach –

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hi MCAP Members,

I’m attaching a flyer for our focus groups taking place next week, as well as a sample write-up you can use if you’d like. I’d really appreciate it if you could share this with your networks, especially those parents/guardians of high school/middle school students. 

Information gathered will help influence our future coalition work, and is extremely valuable!

Milena’s blood drive added 38 pints of blood to the Red Cross blood supply. Milena has been working on the annual Red Cross blood drives for years, since she was in middle school.

MFi YL Grants Open to End of April

Posted on April 17, 2025 | Comments Off on MFi YL Grants Open to End of April

MFi Youth Leadership Program Now Accepting Grant Applications


The Medfield Foundation Youth Leadership Program is now accepting applications for its 2025 Grant Program. Up to $1,000 in funding will be awarded, which may be awarded in full or divided among multiple recipients. Applicants are welcome to learn more about the grant process and to submit a grant request at https://forms.gle/y9Yy9svXdJAFdsEw7 by April 30th.

Just as the Medfield Foundation has its Legacy Fund endowment and its Pitch It! Grant Program, the MFi youth leaders team raised $1,000 in the fall of 2024 to award in its own process. The Youth Leadership Grant Program is our call for any and all ideas that will enrich the lives of those who call Medfield home. The youth leaders will review the applications, ask questions, interview the applicants, conduct site visits, and make final presentations to their youth leader teammates before voting on and selecting the winner(s). Funding decisions will be communicated to winners by May 30th.

Founded in 2014 by the Medfield Foundation Inc. (MFi), the MFi Youth Leadership program empowers high school students with a sense of philanthropy and volunteerism to take action in their community. From an early age, the town’s youngest residents have opportunities to make a difference in their community. Those opportunities continue to grow as children come of age in our town. The Medfield Foundation is responsible for many local fundraising initiatives. As part of its commitment to community involvement, MFi created this program where high school students could take that philanthropic spirit, run with it and gain leadership experience in the process. Our youth leaders support one of the Medfield Foundation’s largest signature events, The MFi Angel Run, in the fall. It provides a perfect opportunity to get involved and gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to plan and manage a fundraising event. Then the winter/spring programming focuses on the grant process, including how to solicit proposals and how to review and award grants.
