A special shout out to Alumni and Board of Trustee members Dave Bayer and Donald Lacy for coming to the rescue. They were at the school yesterday afternoon and noticed a problem with a slippery and potentially dangerous situation with ice in the passageway between our buildings. Putting their minds together and working with old shelving and other materials around the school, they built a ramp that covers the area and lets the water pass under it. They built this ramp today and it works great! We are so fortunate to have such "can do" people as part of our school community who see a problem and don't wait for someone else. but step up to the plate and take it on. Thank you Dave and Donald for fixing this problem and for being such great examples! ...

We had a special seminar on investing in our monthly Financial Literacy series today. The students learned that putting just a dollar a day away, investing in the stock market and letting the earnings and deposits remain invested will yield big results over time. In 40 years, a $30/month investment will yield about $160,000 with an investment of $14,000 total in that time. This series is sponsored and staffed by Berman McAleer under the guidance of Kathleen Gower. Today's presenters were Brian Carroll, Adam Murray and Adaiha Montgomery. They guided the students through a number of exercises to understand the value and mechanics of the investing process. The students interest was evidenced by their active engagement and many thoughtful questions. Thank you Adaiha, Adam, Brian and Kathleen and all the folks at Berman McAleer for the lunch and the seminar!...

"This is Who I Am." This was the theme for this past week's theatre seminar. The students dug deep within themselves, reflected, and then shared their thoughts with each other. It was a reminder that even those who spend nearly every day with each other are more than we see or know. The class was led by Denise Kumani Gantt, Education Director at The Lyric. Antonio Eyez perfectly set the mood with his guitar playing throughout the session. We are thankful to them both for this special seminar. ...

42 years ago today in the basement of the Guardian Angel Church on the corner of 27th and Huntingdon Avenue, the first classes of The Community School were held. We only had scrap paper, pencils and newspapers and loads of determination. Without that bold start and belief in what we could achieve, the school would not still be serving students all of these years later. Our deepest gratitude to all of the people who made this school possible along the way through today. ...

In addition to his program work, Harold also does improv comedy and is an actor. He shared his career trajectory that included working to strengthen families and improve the lives of young people through his work for the city and various agencies. Harold was especially interested in learning more about the students and the school. The students shared their stories about how they came to be at TCS and how the unique education offered here works for each of them. Fatima, Madison, Ethan and Ruth also took him on a tour explaining what goes on in all the different rooms around the school.

Did you know that there's a library that lends tools instead of books? At our monthly Done Construction woodworking seminar, Beth Pointer brought in Leanna Frick from the Station North Tool Library (SNTL). SNTL is a nonprofit tool-lending library and community hub in the heart of Baltimore City. They offer over 3,000 tools, 30 classes, a public woodworking shop, a dedicated DIY workspace, and a home repair classroom. It is located at 417 E Oliver St. Baltimore 21202. Ms. Leanna shared the philosophy of the group and their efforts to empower all people to improve their lives and environments, through affordable access to tools, skills, and workspace. In addition to their regular workshops, the women of Done Construction have now brought in two organizations for the students to learn about tools and resources in Baltimore that they can access for their projects. Thank you Leanna and Beth. To learn more about the SNTL, you can visit their website at https://toollibrary.org/...

Costumes, movement, acting, music, journaling, reflection and sharing were all part of the students' experience at The Lyric yesterday. This month's somatic workshop focused on the concept of Chaos. Led by resident artist Ebony Evans and accompanied musically by Antonio Eyez, the students reflected through their thoughts, written and spoken word, and movement on the idea of chaos in their lives. It was an engaging experience that was at times fun and other times deeply moving. Our deep thanks to Lyric Education Director Denise Kumani Gantt, Ebony & Antonio for this enlightening experience....
