A fixture at The Community School for the last 4 years, Monique Hawkins, our mail carrier had her last day on the route today. From the first time that Monique delivered our mail, it was like a burst of sunshine came through our door. She was always so warm and uplifting. Monique knew every student by name and followed their progress, celebrated their accomplishments and offered encouragement when needed. She is moving to a new position in security at the main post office and will be mush missed. The students who were in class and didn't get to see Monique when she came in today, ran up the street to find her delivering mail to get in one last hug. Monique has been part of the fabric of the neighborhood and will be missed. She promises to come back and visit. We wish her well in her new position. ...

Noted photojournalist Jim Burger was the guest for the “Conversation with…” series today. Jim is a longtime friend and neighbor of the school.  He spoke about his long career with the Baltimore Sun as well as his current freelance work. Jim has done national work for AARP and major magazines and worked locally for many prominent institutions such as Johns Hopkins Hospital. He shared examples of his work with a story to go with each one. The students were interested in Jim’s educational path and learned that even though he had challenges with a number of his subjects, he was encouraged to pursue his artistic abilities in drawing and photography ending up at the Maryland Institute College of Art. A native of Western Pennsylvania, this was the start of Jim’s new hometown and love affair with Baltimore. Jim is currently working on a book that will tell the story of his life and career through his words and photographs. Once the book is complete, the University of Maryland Baltimore County will house his life's work in their archive collection One of the deeper meanings in Jim’s conversation was captured by Ronan who said, “I really liked what Mr. Jim said about everyone having a story.” Jim is a master at finding and telling people’s stories through both words and photographs and we were honored to have him with us. The students are looking forward to his return in February when he will have a seminar on photography techniques. Thanks Jim! ...

He talked about the recruitment process, the challenges of boot camp and army life, and why he chose this path. After completing his initial training he will go on to Advance Individual Training in Arizona to be an intelligence analyst. Vernon talked about how his educational experience in The Community School helped prepare him for the Army and the importance of perseverance and drive in reaching your goals. Students asked questions about his experiences and were very happy that he took his time to visit.
