Students Samantha Bell and Mary Lechner accepted a special invitation to the  School of the Way by founder John Starling.  The mutual respect held by our two schools was reaffirmed as John presented a shirt to Tom Culotta. Both teachers expressed their appreciation of each other's work and the relationship that includes extending high school credit for TCS students for dedicated participation in the School of the Way.  Earlier in the day, TCS graduate and School of the Way student Zack Austin gave a presentation about the Mentoring Martial Arts school to our students encouraging their interest.  Both schools are fully committed to the positive development of neighborhood youth....

I interviewed a new student for the school today and she has been accepted to begin on Monday, September 30th.  She is transferring from City College where she was a new 9th grader.  Her name is Mary and I'm sure all of the students will welcome her on Monday....

Today, the students were given an opportunity to show what they have been learning in science class.  Given a set of graduated cylinders, a triple beam balance scale, apple juice, olive oil, water and a rock, the students had to work co-operatively to demonstrate an understanding of density and specific gravity.  It was exciting to watch them come together and use their collective minds to solve the tasks assigned! We are very proud of this actively engaged class!...

The class went to see the movie, The Butler, today at Rotunda Theaters. They were all moved by this very personal  story told within an intense historical period of social change. The movie prompted an excellent discussion about the history of racism and the struggle for civil rights. Everyone liked the movie and said it gave them a clearer understanding of what African-American people went through during this time. ...

Hi College Students.  There's not much response to postings or mailings.  If you all are still interested in any communication from me or the school regarding college, you're going to have to let me know or we will discontinue this part of the website and the emails.  Don't want to do it if it's not useful.  All the best....

Today was our first trip out of the building this year, and it was to make our first of monthly visits to the library. The students had the pleasure of meeting Julie Johnson, the head librarian at the Roland Park Branch of the Enoch Pratt Library, who is pictured on the left with students Kassidy and Samantha.  Students read many books throughout the school year, most on loan from the library.  The selections are grouped in themes such as historical fiction, or autobiographies, but this first book was a reader's choice selection. Julie has helped many students from our school with their selections and continued the tradition with this class....

The students will be coming in from 12-4 on Friday, September 20th.  The reason is so that we can go see the Lee Daniel's movie, The Butler. We will go tot he 1:00 showing at the Regal Hunt Valley Movie Theatre and should be back at the school by 4:00.  The students do not need any money for this trip unless they want to buy drinks or snacks.  Next Friday, we will go back to our regular Friday schedule of 8-12....

One of our new students was dropped from the roll today.  It is a reminder that the standards at The Community School are serious and each student must follow the 5 habits and the Honor Code in order to remain in the school.  It is never a happy occasion to lose a student and we wish her the best in hopes that she will continue her education and learn from this experience....
