Share Your Vacation or Staycation Photos

Whether you went far or stayed in town, share what you've been up to this week.

  It's school vacation week here in Medfield, a time for students and their families to get some much-needed rest and relaxation.  Did you head to a tropical climate or escape to a warm beach?

To upload a picture, click on the "Upload photos and videos" button above the photo. We'll highlight some of your photos as the featured photo.
