Green Newton, an organization dedicated to promoting sustainable solutions to environmental challenges in Newton and beyond, has recognized Justin '28 as their Volunteer of the Month for October.
Naima ’27 recently earned first place in a science research pitch competition for her creative proposal to use AI to enable real-time translation for ASL.
In October, members of the CSW community gathered to celebrate a generous gift from artist Yan Lei and his wife, Clothilde Yang, parents of BeiBei ’28. The couple donated a striking original artwork titled “Ecstasy” to the school, a silkscreen on French handmade paper created earlier this year. The donation includes the first five pieces in a 99-edition series.
The Fall Wilderness Trip was back in action in the White Mountains! Each mod break wilderness trip welcomes students of all experience levels and splits up in to two groups. The introductory group made its foray into the Kinsman Mountains while the advanced group tackled Mt. Madison. Both groups enjoyed some hearty meals of korma, pasta, and hummus wraps, and they accomplished some serious elevation with spectacular views of fall foliage and mountain ridges. Overall, it was a successful trip, and we’re looking forward to returning to the area for the Winter Wilderness Trip!
