Students Samantha Bell and Mary Lechner accepted a special invitation to the  School of the Way by founder John Starling.  The mutual respect held by our two schools was reaffirmed as John presented a shirt to Tom Culotta.

We are very proud of this actively engaged class!...

Today was our first trip out of the building this year, and it was to make our first of monthly visits to the library. The students had the pleasure of meeting Julie Johnson, the head librarian at the Roland Park Branch of the Enoch Pratt Library, who is pictured on the left with students Kassidy and Samantha.  Students read many books throughout the school year, most on loan from the library.  The selections are grouped in themes such as historical fiction, or autobiographies, but this first book was a reader's choice selection. Julie has helped many students from our school with their selections and continued the tradition with this class....
