Milena A.O.’s senior project this spring was to run a Red Cross blood drive at the Medfield High School gym on Sunday, May 11. 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.

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.

Email this morning from the Superintendent and Police Chief to school families –
Dear Medfield Families,
The Medfield Police Department received a phone call this morning that referred to a possible violent act at Medfield High School. The Medfield Police responded immediately, assessed the situation, and determined it was a hoax. All of our students and staff are safe. Many area communities received the same “swatting call” this morning. The purpose of these phone calls is to disrupt the school day with threats of violence while tying up local law enforcement. The Medfield Police did not recommend a “lockdown” at Medfield High School based on the information from multiple area police departments that received this same swatting call earlier than Medfield.
The Medfield Police and Medfield Public Schools are always in constant communication and have a collaborative approach to ensure the safety and well-being of all students and staff. We remain committed to working together to provide a safe, secure, and comfortable learning environment for all students.
Sincerely,
Jeff Marsden Michelle Guerette
Superintendent of Schools Medfield Police Chief

The Medfield High School class of 1972 donated a linden tree that was planted and dedicated Saturday, 9/17/22 in front of the Blake Middle School (which in 1972 had been their MHS). They are celebrating their 50th reunion this weekend. Members I knew were Ron Gustafson, Tom LaPlante, and Bob Meaney.

Medfield Select Board member
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.
For information on my other job as an attorney (personal injury, civil litigation, estate planning and administration, and real estate), please feel free to contact me at 617-969-1500 or Osler.Peterson@OslerPeterson.com.
