Thank You for an Amazing 2020 Fun Run!
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who participated in our first Medfield Heights Elementary Fun Run!! Our event went virtual, but we still were able to come together as a community to cheer each other on! It was so fantastic to see photos and videos of our students having fun and participating in a range of different physical activities.
Thanks to our SUPERHERO students, we raised $7,438 for our school -- WAY TO GO!!
On behalf of Medfield Heights Elementary and the Medfield Heights PTO, we are so grateful to our school community for making this such a successful event and fundraiser. We could not engage in the wonderful learning opportunities and the fun things we do at school without your support. Proceeds from this event will go towards classroom S.T.E.A.M. materials, essential student supplies, and arts enrichment programs.

UPDATE: OUR FUN RUN WILL NOW BE A VIRTUAL EVENT!
While we may not be together in person at school right now, our kids can still join our virtual fun run and come together to show support for their school. Instead of being only on Friday April 24th, students are welcome to do their virtual Fun Run at any time the weekend of Friday April 24th to Sunday April 26th.
Students can choose how they want to spend their 20 minutes of movement (walking, running, jumping, participating in a workout video, etc.). We can celebrate each other by posting pictures on our Facebook event page!
Our donation website will remain open through Sunday 4/26, and all proceeds from the event continue to go directly to support our school, especially our new S.T.E.A.M. academic focus, with materials such as robotics kits, engineering materials, and design materials. However, we know that there are many increasing financial challenges at the moment, and our priority is to keep our students connected, healthy, and having fun. Therefore, please do not feel obligated to fundraise for our event.

We are excited to announce that this year we will be holding our 1st Annual Medfield Heights Fun Run! Our Fun Run will be a day-long fundraising event for our school community to come together to raise critical funds for our new STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) focus. On Friday, April 24th, classes will take turns coming down to the blacktop to walk or run short laps over a 20-minute period to earn the pledges made by their families and friends. This event is not meant to be a race or competition but rather a fun opportunity for our students to participate in a healthy physical activity and support our school too! We are working hard to make sure this event raises necessary funds for MHES, gets our kids moving, and is a FUN and memorable day for everyone! After each class finishes their laps, they will celebrate with a snack and keep the fun going by cheering on another class.
