Medfield Middle School Teacher Marathoners Are Safe
Three teachers from Blake Middle School ran this year's Boston Marathon.
This week is school break in Medfield but some students, particularly those who attend Thomas A. Blake Middle School, couldn't get school off their mind.
That's because three of their teachers -- sixth grade science teachers Kelly Dengos and Marjorie Heim, and eighth grade math teacher Erin Kearney -- ran this year's Boston Marathon.

Thank you to everyone for their shared concerns about our staff. Ms. Dengos, Mrs. Kearney, and Mrs. Heim are all safe. Your care and compassion is greatly appreciated.
Dengos -- who was at the 40k mark at 2:40 p.m. -- updated her classroom website after the race on Monday.
Thank you to all those who came out to cheer me on today. I made it to Boston safe and sound and so appreciate the support.
