About the CMS Webster O'Brien 5k
Webster O'Brien was a beloved member of our community. He is the father of two CMS alums and the husband of a former CMS teacher, and served as chairman of the board for four years. Webster believed strongly in Montessori education, and our school would not be what it is today without his leadership and guiding hand. He was also instrumental in developing the athletics program, so the 5k was started to honor Webster and build on his legacy. A travel stipend will be given to a CMS alum who has graduated from our middle school program.
To inquire about how to apply for the travel stipend, please email cms5k@cambridgemontessori.org.

Danehy has always been a central part of the CMS experience, and our 5k will take advantage of our close connection to the park. The route will be a loop that circles the park three times before the final sprint to the finish.
