Each September, as the new school year begins, CRLS students start to think of ways to get involved in the CRLS community. To help students with this process, the school holds Club Day to inform students about the range of clubs CRLS offers.

This past June 19th, four CRLS faculty members and seventeen CRLS students took a trip to Japan. These students applied to go on the trip and helped to fundraise. The trip was organized by Timothy Ogino and Kristin Knowlton, along with two other volunteer faculty chaperones, Denise Lee and Willis Dougherty. One of the latter, Mrs. Lee, was an active part of the fundraising process.  She explains, “It was difficult. We needed to raise a lot of money. We started out with a GoFundMe, the four adults that were chaperoning reached out to their networks, the kids reached out through their networks, we did bake sales, and some kids went door to door in their neighborhoods asking for money.”

On Thursday, June 6th, at 6 PM, the Class of 2019 graduated from the Cambridge Ridge and Latin School. To begin the ceremony, families were welcomed in 15 of the 22 languages that the class of 2019 speaks. After this multilingual greeting, the graduating seniors proceeded into the field house as the audience rose to their feet, watching their beloved friends and relatives walk down the aisle toward the front of the gymnasium.
