Blake Middle School 8th Graders Tilden Village Holiday Dinner returned on Thursday, Dec 8th which was last held in 2019.
Eighth Graders Host Tilden Village Residents Holiday Dinner Again!
After a few years not holding what had become an annual event, the Blake Middle School community service Tilden Village Dinner is back, and Blake Middle School teacher/coordinator, AnnMarie Fratolillo fondly refers to this event as very special!
She explains, "Residents are invited to join us in the common room for dinner service: turkey pies from OutPost Farm in Holliston and all the sides of a turkey dinner. Desserts too. The food and drinks are provided by eighth grade families who drop it off at 4:30 for our 5:00 service. All
other materials are supplied by families as well: tablecloths, cutlery, napkins, cups, etc. Mrs. Dubois eighth-grade advisory created centerpieces with fresh roses in mason jars to decorate each table.
The turkey pies are purchased through money raised at the eighth-grade Turkey Bowl. An annual football event held by the Wellness department for the eighth grade. Students were asked to donate $5.00 as their "ticket" to the turkey bowl. After purchasing supplies, the Class of 2027 will make a $168 donation to The Medfield Home Committee.

We are adding "door-to-door" service this year. Any resident who cannot attend will have the option to place an order and have a plate delivered. Students will be taking personal orders on clipboards, making the plates requested, and delivering. We will also have eighth-grade musicians--trumpets and violins--playing inside and in the courtyard as entertainment.
Michael Gibbs and I are the two eighth-grade teachers who lead the charge. Susan Bycoff and Kara Gelormini, two more eighth grader teachers, attended and helped out as well.
