Needham Bank has made a donation as part of MAP's Quest Capital Campaign. The Memorial School MAP site will undergo extensive repairs this summer.
Needham Bank is proud to announce its support of the Medfield Afterschool Program (MAP) by contributing $8,000 toward capital repairs to the program’s Memorial School site. Needham Bank has five branches throughout the greater Boston area, including one in Medfield.

At the end-of-the-year event last week, MAP students honored their teachers Meghan Jackson and Michael Ikoma for their many years with the enrichment program.
Last week, Medfield Afterschool Program students at the Memorial School and the Pfaff Center recognized two MAP teachers, who are celebrating anniversaries this year, by hand-crafting signs featuring Roman numerals. Michael Ikoma, the site director of the fourth and fifth grade enrichment program held at the Pfaff Center for Dale Street School students, marked 10 years with MAP, and Meghan Jackson, a Lead Educator at the Kindergarten and first grade location next to the Memorial School, is celebrating 15 years -- twice as long as her students have been alive -- with the organization.

The Medfield Afterschool Program is not quite halfway to the goal line for its capital campaign, but some of the most urgent problems are already being fixed, according to parents involved in the effort. “The leaky roof at the Ralph Wheelock School facility was torn up on Medfield Day and a new roof was laid that Sunday,” said Jean Mineo, outgoing volunteer president of MAP and a member of the MAP’s Quest capital campaign committee. The Medfield Afterschool Program, which serves about 300 children at the Memorial, Dale, Wheelock, and Blake school sites, is a non-profit organization – but it has done very little fundraising in its 22-year history, according to Executive Director Gaye Shannon.
