We were honored to have a lively Conversation with Nygel D. Robinson today. Nygel is one half of the team that wrote and acted in the play Mexodus that we saw at Baltimore Center Stage yesterday. We learned a lot about Nygel's life, passions and work. He talked about the process of writing and creating the play with his work partner and friend Brian Quijada and the students shared what they took away from it. But the conversation went so much deeper. It was a far reaching conversation sharing concerns about the state of our country and world and the hopes and dreams for both the students and Nygel. After the Conversation, Karla, Kendall and Ethan took Nygel on an extended tour of our school and explained how the school works. It was a great experience for all. The students really loved their time with Nygel and look forward to his next visit with Brian when Mexodus has a run in Washington next month. We appreciate Nygel and his generous sharing of time, talent and perspective with us!...

The students attended one of the best plays any of us have ever seen today! We saw Mexodus at Center Stage. It's only showing through the weekend but if you can get tickets, we highly recommend it! It is a musical masterpiece utilizing various genres including hip hop to tell the little told story of the underground railroad of those escaping slavery who went to Mexico. The multi-talented playwrights Nygel Robinson and Brian Quijada were also the actors in this two person captivating play. We deeply appreciate our long relationship with Baltimore Center Stage who invite us to attend several of their plays every year. Stay tuned for more on this tomorrow!...

We were honored to have Ulyana Bezkorovayna join us in conversation today. Ulyana is from Ukraine and spoke personally about the war of Russian aggression and its impact on the people and the country. Many of Ulyana's family and friends continue to live in Ukraine though she was able to bring her parents here recently. The students have been closely following the news of the war since its inception and had many questions for Ulyana. The discussion was both personal and analytical. This was an informative, touching and enlightening conversation. It shed a light on an issue that we are all deeply concerned about. We deeply appreciate Ulyana's generous sharing of her time with us. ...

Ron Halbright, a good friend of the school for many years, came in for a special conversation today. Ron was a community worker and used to live in Baltimore but has lived in Switzerland for the last 34 years. There he is engaged in social justice work including work with refugees and other disenfranchised people. Ron's work is influenced by his family's persecution and losing many relatives during the Holocaust and that his parents were refugees themselves as they came to the United States. His work today includes facilitating dialogue between Jews and Muslims. Ron attended our current events class and joined in the conversation about the news of the day. It is always a pleasure to have Ron visit the school when he is in town and we appreciate him sharing his work with us. ...
