Yesterday was not only another busy day at the school, but also we were represented at two different events as well. Janiah and Karla attended "The Gathering", a networking event held by the Baltimore Children and Youth Fund. BCYF promotes youth serving organizations and youth empowerment in Baltimore City. We were well represented and many contacts were made with other groups. Madison and Khori ran a table at a High School Fair at Roland Park Elementary/Middle School. They talked to prospective students to answer their questions about TCS while sharing their own experiences. We are proud of our students and the way they represent themselves and the school. ...

New York Times best selling author Kate Anderson Brower visited the school today for a special Conversation. The students are studying the U.S. Government this year and are reading her fascinating and accessible book The Hill: Inside the Secret World of the U.S. Capitol. The students had loads of questions from their reading of the book as well as about her experience covering Presidents, First Ladies along with the regular people - cooks, carpenters, Capitol police - who work behind the scenes.. Ms. Brower was keenly interested in the students lives and views.  It was an extremely engaging and interesting conversation and Ms. Brower was very generous with her time staying well past the scheduled hour and a half. Her visit included a lengthy tour of the school building and taking the time to personalize and sign each of the students' copy of The Hill. Kate Anderson Brower is the author of The Residence and First Women, as well as Team Of Five, First In Line, and the children’s book Exploring the White House.  She is a CNN contributor and she covered the Obama administration for Bloomberg News. She is also a former CBS News staffer and Fox News producer. Kate has written for the New York Times, Vanity Fair, and the Washington Post. It was a real honor to have Ms. Brower visit with us.  Special thanks to Martha Marani and Charm City Books for making this possible....

Through the kindness of Baltimore Center Stage, the Young Playwrights Seminar is back again this year! This seminar which runs weekly through the first week of January teaches the students the structure and art of playwriting that culminates in each student producing a 10 minute play.  The plays are then entered into a regional contest where the plays chosen are professionally produced and performed at Center Stage.  The Community School has had two students in the last several years whose works have been chosen - Ronan Guilfoyle and Hector Rivas. We are very fortunate to have Artist Allison Brown teaching this seminar.  Ms. Brown is a multi-talented artist, writer, designer and entrepreneur and brings her enthusiasm and gift for dynamic storytelling to our students. Thank you Baltimore Center Stage! We are excited to work with Allison.  Keep your eyes out for more on this adventure!...

On Veterans Day, 12th grade student Rhys Guilfoyle honored those who served our country in a special way. Rhys was a critical part of a project to plant 12 trees in honor of fallen veterans at the Memorial Grove of Remembrance located in Druid Hill Park. In a touching ceremony at the site, Rhys read a tribute to veterans followed by a sharing from 3 Gold Star mothers who lost their sons in combat. Rhys has been a long time Boy Scout and joined in this project as part of his effort to become an Eagle Scout. He organized fellow scouts and others to join in to this special effort along with the Department of Recreation and Parks and Tree Baltimore. We are proud of Rhys's efforts in honoring our veterans. ...

Mary Pat Clarke, a good friend and long time member of the TCS community, has passed. From our earliest beginning, Mary Pat was always an advocate for our school and all of the students in it. She came to know each student throughput the years, offering encouragement and personal support. She brought many political leaders and speakers to the school, developed an co-taught a class, and spoke to the class more times than I can count. She fought for us in zoning hearings, helped resolve conflicts with the city when needed, stood beside us as we worked to improve education and other issues and was just a steady and consistent presence over nearly 5 decades. She will be missed by so many and our life, though not the same without her, is so much better because she was in it....

Smiles and laughter were on full display as the students attended a performance of Pride and Prejudice at Baltimore's Center Stage. This adaptation directed by Ken-Matt Martin was hilarious filled with witty lines and larger than life characters. Following the play, we were fortunate to have a conversation at the school with three of the actors - Alanna Newton (Mrs. Bennett) and Kathryn Pryor (Mr. Bennett + Charlotte Lucas) and L'Oreal Lampley (Mary Bennet + Miss Bingley). They shared their perspectives on their characters and the play as well as their career journeys and passions. Our thanks to all of the folks at Center Stage for making this possible including artistic associate staff Hope Hynson and Erin Margaret Pettigrew for inviting us to the performance and joining us for the conversation....

We were honored to have educational audiologist Dr. Kathleen Riley join teacher Peggy Lashbrook for the American Sign Language classes this week. She taught the students about the various genetic disorders that can cause hearing loss and deafness. Dr. Riley also startled the students with the numbers of young people experiencing hearing loss from the regular use of airpods and headphones whose volume is too high. Dr. Riley and Ms. Peggy are long time friends and colleagues who worked with students who are deaf or deaf-blind. We appreciate both of these teachers who come all the way from Delaware for the ASL class....
