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! ...

Asked to weigh-in on this topic, many imaginative pieces were written. DANNY did so by taking us forward to the year 5026 A.D. to a place we humans had apparently already been. Fascinating. Graffiti: Art, Ego or Vandalism                    “Yes, I copy Houston.” radio click This is over three thousand years into the future, in the year 5026 A.D. Humans have invented technology which enables extrasolar travel. This is the first manned mission to another planet outside of the solar system ever. The mission’s name is Project Bifrost.                   “Randall, we might've done it. We have now arrived on Kepler-452b, approximately 800 light years away from earth. We did it, boys. It’s done!”- James Clapping from the Nasa physicists as they successfully succeed in the Bifrost Mission. The astronauts roam the planet and remove their helmets because of its atmospheric similarity to Earth. As the astronauts are collecting rock samples, they begin to explore caves to test samples of the underground water and the mineral content to examine the geological history of the planet… when they discover something gut wrenching. “Oh my god, Randall, is that graffiti?”-James says in horror. “Jesus Christ.”-Randall replies The astronauts scramble back to the communication system to relay the message that they’ve encountered something unseen before. But as they leave the cave, they encounter something far worse. “There are fossil bones embedded in that sediment, James.”-Randall says They dig, chip, and scratch to make sure to carefully extract the remains of whatever animal this is, not too far off from animal bones they’ve seen from life on Earth. “Houston, we have a problem....

TCS Alum Dyrrell Moon joined the students for a Conversation on Friday. Dyrrell just got back from the former Soviet Republic of Azerbaijan where he was part of a monitoring team for recent national elections. This is part of the international work that Dyrrell has been doing since graduating from Howard University. The students were especially interested because they are currently studying this part of the world as part of this year's World Geography class. It's always a special occasion when TCS alumni come back to share their experiences with the current students. Thank you Dyrrell!...

The Women of Done Construction were back in the house yesterday! The students are each building, wiring and staining a lamp for their spring project. The session started with a video of the folks from Done preparing the materials in their workshop so the students could see the project from the beginning. After a review of the tools and their proper usage was presented, the students were able to pick from a selection of types of wood from cedar to walnut to oak and even an exotic wood from Africa. Then, each got to work drilling, gluing, screwing and sanding their individual lamps. The project will take two more sessions to complete. What an exciting project packed with skills! Thank you Beth Pointer, Sarah Elder, Catesby Taliaferro, Kristin Carbone and Sarah Michaels!...

We took our "Conversation with.." series on the road today. Jeff Elkin invited us to visit Advance, the successful business started by his parents more than a half century ago just blocks from our school. Starting off selling office supplies, Advance is now a major business solutions company including a very high tech IT operation that looks like it belongs at NASA! After a generous lunch provided by Advance, we met with the entire Leadership Team of the company introduced by Mr. Elkin. They shared the company's history, their philosophy regarding their service to customers and the value system that guides their staff relationships. We were impressed with the number of folks in the leadership team who started as entry level technicians but were invested in by the company with opportunities and support. This fertile workplace culture was also evidenced by the length of time each person we met had been with the company. The team took us on a tour of their facility where we learned about the many facets of their business and the careers available. The last stop was in their expansive meeting room where company Chief Operating Officer Joe Zito shared his personal story rising from challenging circumstances as a young person to his over 36 year career at Advance. Mr. Joe has shared his story before in a Conversation with another group of students at the school several years ago and inspired us once again as he retold it today. Joe also shared tips for success and a way of looking at the...

The students, walking through a park, suddenly encounter a door promising a heavenly visit. Some enter to meet loved ones who have passed, or historical figures of fame and even  infamy. But KENDALL, who always manages to see topics from a unique perspective, creates a self-possessed YouTuber who discovers TCS and its treasure-trove of creativity. DOORWAY TO HEAVEN  What’s up YouTubers? It's your boy, Dumpster Fire James. On today’s video we are going to be finding the perfect door for my $500 million dollar mansion. Shoutout to kittymeowmeow100 for the $666 dollar donation. I'll read your comment: “Go to Druid Hill Park and you’ll find the best door in the world.” Isn’t that like in the hood? I don’t want to get robbed or anything. You know what? For my loyal subjects, I'll do it. But it’s a long drive, so send me some gas money, peasants. The Drive There… Hey guys, my tire went flat but I won’t let that bring me down. The repair man is on the way. Ok guys, the tire is fixed, but now my therapist is calling me and telling me she's having visions of me dying. But you know…yolo. I’m 10 minutes away guys. Walking Through the Park… Guys, it’s your boy, and your boy is kind of freaked out. I keep seeing these people hunched over with needles. I didn’t know so many people had diabetes. That’s why I always say, “taking care of me is like taking care of yourself.” And for you kittymeowmeow100, I don’t see any doors.  I really hate liars so you will...
