It was an exciting and fruitful year for CSW’s Community Engagement (CE) program. Each of the 10-11 grade sections of CE was partnered with an organization in the community that is working towards equity, justice and awareness in a variety of different topics. The topics or global issues that CSW students showed most interest in were sustainability, food insecurity, access to mental health, health and wellness, access to STEAM education, immigrant and refugee assistance, tutoring, and global exchange.
In honor of Jewish Heritage Month, CSW was pleased to welcome Rita Goldberg, author of “Motherland: Growing Up with the Holocaust.” Rita taught literature at Essex and Cambridge Universities in England for nearly ten years, went on to teach at MIT, and is now a lecturer in comparative literature at Harvard University.
We are excited to announce that Paul Duan '23 has received a Honorable Mention in the 2022 Sherwood Collins Playwriting Contest for his submission of his first ever play: Hachiko! The High School Sherwood Collins Playwriting Contest was hosted by Massachusetts Educational Theatre Guild (METG.)
Paul fell in love with theatre as a 9th grader at CSW. Since, he's been involved in various fall productions and spring musicals. His favorite part about theatre is the sense of community, all the way down to the philosophy of theatre – it brings people together. "We play together, we talk to each other, and we make a grand piece of art together. All of these are the reasons why I love theatre," says Paul.
