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.

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:
$120 m. required to repair town buildings over the next 20 years.
$100 m. required in next 5 years for priority building repairs – roofs and building envelopes.

Fueling Medfield:
Your Gift Makes Everything Run.
As the holiday season—the true time of giving—begins, we know you’re looking for meaningful ways to support your town.
You may know us best for our upcoming Angel Run 5K, but the Medfield Foundation is so much more than a race! We are a dedicated engine supporting countless local initiatives right here in Medfield.
The Medfield Foundation has raised $5.5 million since its inception to directly impact the lives of Medfield’s residents.
We have helped over 50 local non-profit initiative through our charitable platform, to support their fundraising efforts, such as Hinkley Helpers most recently.
Raise Funds
We support Medfield residents directly, two examples: our Community Assistance Fund, helps local folks in need via emergency assistance, and our Camp Fund, sending local kids to summer camps.
Make an Impact
Through the foundation’s Legacy Fund, a professionally managed endowment, we support community driven projects, through an annual grant program. Nearly $100,000 has been granted to local organizations like Medfield Outreach, Sustainable Medfield, and The Peak House Heritage Center, to name just a few.

I started this blog to share the interesting and useful information that I saw while doing my job as a Medfield select board member. I thought that my fellow Medfield residents would also find that information interesting and useful as well. This blog is my effort to assist in creating a system to push the information out from the Town House to residents. Let me know if you have any thoughts on how it can be done better.
