There will be a meeting of the Support Services Subcommittee of the Medford School Committee on Wednesday, August 4, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. in the Superintendent’s Conference Room at Medford High School.
The purpose of this meeting is to review the status of our current School Food Service Program and to discuss leadership transition plans.
The Medford “Field of Dreams” project should be done by the end of this summer, with new fields ready for the Fall 2010 sports season.
According to project manager Jack Buckley, the project includes two artificial turf fields behind Medford High School that can be used for soccer, lacrosse, and football games as well as for baseball and softball practice; a running/walking track; full lighting; and two scoreboards. Handicapped parking will also be created next to the new fields.
Pictured above: Part of the two new turf fields with the Medford logo, two lighting poles, a scoreboard, and a goalpost.
An opening day celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony are planned for September 11, 2010.
Dear Friends of Medford Hockey,
On Monday September 27, 2010, Thomson’s Country Club in North Reading will proudly host the 2nd Annual Friends of Medford Hockey Golf Tournament.
To ensure the success of this charitable cause and support the boys and girls hockey program at Medford High School, I hereby enlist your generosity and support. We are a volunteer booster organization that supports the “Mustang Hockey” tradition. We rely on our own fundraising efforts and receive no money from the city or school department.
We are hopeful you can join us in a day of fun filled golf and frolic while supporting this event.
To our non-golfing and business community friends, please consider sponsoring a hole in our golf tournament or just send a donation if you’d like, to this notable cause.
Please fill out and return the registration form with your check by September 1, 2010 to:
C/O Donna MacAdams

Medford, MA 02155
Please make checks payable to Friends of Medford Hockey

The follow tips from the American Academy of Pedriatics and www.healthychildren.org will ensure that children will stay safe while enjoying time outdoors.
