Dancing styles from ballet to jazz to West African were on display at The Lyric today as Aileycamp Baltimore performed. This group of 24 young artists shared their talent with the audience that was made up of students from throughout Baltimore City.

In addition to the dance, the performers shared the philosophy and daily affirmations of Aileycamp including “I will greet the day with love in my heart.”, “I will treat others with courtesy and respect at all times”, and “I will not use the word can’t to define my possibilities.”

It was an enjoyable time out and we are thankful to the folks at The Lyric for this opportunity.

Immigration was on the minds of the students today. Bria Leigh Yazic joined us for our “Conversation with…” series. Ms. Bria is a IJC Justice Fellow in the Chacon Center for Immigrant Justice at the University of Maryland Law School.
The students learned a lot about the law including how immigration law is set by Congress but the immigrant court system is under the Federal Executive Branch and not the Judicial Branch. They had many questions about how the system works as well as what is broken in it. Ms. Bria answered them all thoroughly in a way that a non-lawyer could understand. She also spoke about her personal journey and career. This was followed by a tour of our facility by the students.
It was a very informative conversation and we are very grateful to Ms. Bria for her time with us.

We had an amazing visit with our friends at the South Baltimore Learning Center (SBLC) today! They warmly welcomed us with a tour of their facility where we were able to see their great work in action.
The tour ended with a lively conversation session with adult learners from their program as well as several of the staff. It started with a welcoming from Executive Director Melissa Smith Directors Antoinette Kennedy and Zina Barr.
The students asked many questions from the challenges faced by adult learners to how the program operates. A focus was on the mission of the SBLC, their holistic approach to the participants in their program and their workplace culture and climate.
After the conversation, the staff kindly fed us lunch and gave the students gifts.
We made an instant connection with the folks from the South Baltimore Learning Center when we met them at an Associated Italian American Charities event. This was followed up by a visit to TCS from their senior staff as part of our “Conversation with… series.” The relationship just keeps growing stronger.
We appreciate SBLC’s important work providing opportunities for adults to improve their lives and are very thankful for their kindness to us.

Ken Bancroft shared his personal knowledge and experience with the Biology class today. The ninth and tenth grade students are studying human body systems. Currently they are focusing on the cardio-respiratory systems.
A part of our approach is to make all learning real and to illustrate this with stories that connect the learning to real life. Mr. Ken took a break from his volunteer duties checking math and shared with the class his personal health story with cardiac issues and procedures as well as his experience gained as the President of St. Agnes Hospital. It was very informative, held the students’ interest and added to their understanding.
Thank you Ken!
