    • Childcare during Boxford Annual Town Meeting - May 13, 2025 from 7pm to 10 PM at Masconomet High school field house. We’re looking for some responsible babysitters to help watch a group of children while their parents attend the upcoming Town Meeting. There's an important vote on a budget override, and we want to make it easier for as many people as possible to participate.  Our idea is to host a “Movie Night” for the kids, where they can bring a pillow or stuffed animal and relax while their parents attend the meeting. Drop-off times may vary by family, and while Town Meetings can run long, we plan to wrap child care by 9:30 PM.  Contact Julie Friedman to sign up at JulieFriedman14@gmail.com or 607-592-0056
