The Kingsley community of students, families, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends comes together in a variety of meaningful and fun ways to support our mission and celebrate our shared purpose. To learn more or volunteer to help, contact Ellen Doonan.
The Kingsley experience is not just for students! Incoming Kingsly parents and guardians are the guests of honor at this warm gathering hosted by the Board of Trustees and Head of School Steve Farley. Faculty, staff, and parent volunteer leaders look forward to welcoming new friends to our community during this casual event. (Mid-September)
Come one, come all! At this much-loved fall fête, Kingsley grown-ups, including parents, guardians, faculty, staff, and school leaders, toast the launch of our Annual Fund campaign and have a blast celebrating the start of another school year and the power of our community’s generosity. (October)
Donor Drinks is a super social, casual, come-as-you-are cocktail party in celebration of our shared investment in Kingsley. Make your Annual Fund gift or pledge by December to score an invite to the event of the season! Fellow Kingsley families will host parties in their homes, and your mystery location will be revealed shortly before the party. Mix and mingle with new friends and old as we toast to our generous Kingsley Community. (December)
Put on your dancing shoes! The Kingsley Shindig is a rocking community celebration at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center with live music from the talented Muse Band. Gather with Kingsley parents, teachers, staff, alumni, and friends (21+) for drinks, dancing, light-bites, and lionhearted fun. (February)
During this cherished event, special guests get a front-row seat to their Kingsley friends’ learning environment. While most attendees are grandparents of our students, we welcome any grown-up confidantes—aunts, uncles, cousins, or close family friends. (May)
Annual Fund Leadership gifts help Kingsley sustain core commitments, seize new opportunities, and respond to emerging needs. At this annual gathering, we recognize the generous supporters whose investments underpin our annual fundraising efforts. (May)
An energetic evening of reconnection and reminiscing among our former students, current Sixth Graders, and beloved faculty. Come tour your old classrooms, catch up with treasured friends, and make new Kingsley memories! (Late May-early June)
Volunteers, you make it all possible! As the year draws to a close, we celebrate your inspiration, vision, energy, dedication, and hard work to nurture our community and strengthen our shared bonds. Come for drinks on the Esplanade and three cheers for all you do for Kingsley! (June)
