Parents & Guardians

Families play a vital role in building and fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and supportive CSW community. Your time, talents, and energy all help support programs and events critical to the life of the school. 

There are a variety of ways for parents and guardians to get involved at CSW. From helping organize student events like dances or athletics tournaments, to serving as an admissions ambassador and helping to spread the word about CSW — we welcome you to participate in any way you can.

    End-of-Mod 1 Gallery Walk

    Parents and guardians are invited to join us for a scheduled Gallery Walk in the afternoon to view the End-of-Mod show and a special exhibition in the Thompson Gallery: The Once and Future African Goddess

    The Once and Future African Goddess is an exhibition of new work by Cambridge-based interdisciplinary artist Karmimadeebora McMillan. Working across painting, printmaking, sculpture, animation, installation, and public art, McMillan constructs layered, color-saturated worlds deeply informed by Afrofuturism, African and African American history, myth, and speculative fiction. Her work explores questions of Blackness and fear through stylized figures and highly pigmented color, reimagining visual tropes once meant to marginalize Black communities in order to build new, empowered narratives.

    The main exhibition in the Thompson Gallery showcases McMillan’s latest paintings, sculptures, and mixed-media works under the title The Once and Future African Goddess. Across the hall in the Installation Space, visitors are invited into Ms. Merri Mack’s Adventures — a multimedia installation of looping, sound-enhanced animations projected onto two walls.

    Together, these exhibitions reflect the Thompson Gallery’s mission as an interdisciplinary community space that celebrates artmaking across mediums and perspectives, while embodying the Cambridge School of Weston’s spirit of inquiry, learning, and sharing.
