The students celebrated the Year of the Dragon at the Meyerhoff tonight. They welcomed the Lunar New Year at a special program put on by the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.
The program started in the lobby in the hours before the concert with a number of Asian dance and drum groups. This was followed by a concert with a variety of symphonic works. One of the favorites featured an erhu, a Chinese two-stringed bowed musical instrument.
The event was not only an enjoyable and educational on its own, but also enhanced our  current Asian studies in the World Geography course.

A nearly 80 year old who still races as an accomplished professional race driver at Daytona was our guest for our “Conversation with…” this week. Ted Giovanis who grew up just blocks from the school is this man, but so much more. He is an author, military veteran, philanthropist, medical researcher and a visionary thinker who has spent much of his life focusing on health policy both in Maryland and nationally. A current project is his sponsorship of the Giovanis Institute for Translational Cell Biology at Johns Hopkins, an interdisciplinary, unique approach to diagnosing and treating cancer.
He shared his life journey with the students with many pearls of wisdom learned along the way including those in his book – Focus Forward: Life Lessons from Racing.
Mr. Giovanis is a former classmate and colleague with our own volunteer staff member Ken Bancroft who arranged the visit.
It was a fascinating and unique conversation and we appreciate his generous sharing of time.

On behalf of the entire TCS community, we welcome Professor Mikita Thompson. She is teaching a college level computer science course through the University of Baltimore at our school twice a week. This enables our students to pick up some useful skills and knowledge while adding to their college credits in our dual enrollment program.

Professor Thompson brings her experience in computer science and cyber forensics as well as the application of these skills with her background in business and entrepreneurship.

Our thanks to John Brenner and Philippia Richardson from the Early College Initiatives program at the University of Baltimore for once again providing a professor on site to teach our students.

Mike Gallo came back to the school for another “Conversation with” the students. Mike spoke about his life growing up in Chicago, troubles on the street and in school to becoming a national executive of the Minolta Corporation. He shared the many lessons he learned along the way including his strong beliefs in respecting every person and in hard work and dedication in every task a person takes on. The students always enjoy when Mike comes around the school and shares his stories.
