On Friday, October 27, CSW welcomed students from two schools in Japan as part of the Kakehashi Okinawa Project.

Their visit began with a fun assembly to introduce themselves to the CSW community. Students later sat in on classes with their host students, attended our annual halloween dance, went on an outing to Harvard Square, and continued the Halloween festivities with a haunted trail. All students stayed with host families from the CSW community for the duration of their stay.
