If you haven't been to Baltimore Center Stage to see the play Akeelah and the Bee, then hurry to get your tickets now! We saw this most amazing performance today and were captivated by it. This local production included actors from the Baltimore School for the Arts whose abilities seemed to far exceed their age and limited professional experience. Zipporah, a former TCS Young Playwrights teacher also was outstanding in the play. The play centers around a young girl with exceptional spelling abilities from an urban community with deeply rich characters. It traces her challenges and journey on the way to becoming a national champion. The production is so deep, creative and active that it grabs your imagination and interest and doesn't let you go. The students all enjoyed the performance, and we look forward to talking with folks from Center Stage in our Friday Conversation. We extend our deepest appreciation to Hope, Erin, Stevie, Adam and all of our friends from Center Stage for making these experiences for our students possible. Baltimore Center Stage is a treasure that we all should appreciate with our attendance and financial support....

Rhys Guilfoyle, a senior at TCS, was awarded his Eagle rank tonight. This is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouts. It was a heartwarming ceremony where Rhys was also given multiple awards of recognition for his dedication, service and leadership. Rhys gave a wonderful speech full of gratitude for his fellow scouts and the leaders who had invested in him with a special recognition to his mom. Jenae has been a volunteer andwith the Scouts leader since Rhys was a young child. His Eagle project was to help restore a section in Druid Park that was set aside to honor fallen military heroes. Rhys was instrumental in an effort to replant trees there and add plaques honoring those who had given their lives in service. We are all so proud of Rhys and his accomplishments. It was an honor for us to be there at this memorable moment in his life....

The fight against segregation in Maryland was the theme of a virtual field trip we had with the Maryland Center for History and Culture. It was led by Tyler Osborne, Digital Learning Manager at the museum. The students learned about heroic local figures like Lillie May Jackson, Juanita Jackson Mitchell and a young Thurgood Marshall. The students have learned a lot about the civil rights struggle during their time in the school, but this enhanced their learning with this focus on Baltimore's role. We appreciate Tyler and the Maryland Center for History and Culture for sharing this important part of our history with us and for the great work they do....

It was a pleasure to have Dr. Susama Agarwala back at the school today for a Conversation. Susama was an active volunteer at the school in 2009 and 2010 when she was a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University. She went on to work in academia both here and in Europe before entering into other parts of the private sector including her current work in AI. The Conversation started as a followup to the documentary Social Dilemma that the students watched several months ago. It focused on the development of social media platforms and the algorithms used to both entice and increase the amount of time people spend on those platforms. Susama explained how the algorithms work and walked the students through several exercises to analyze them and their use. This way the students can be more aware of how to use social media wisely. Susama also shared about the challenges that women of color experience in the tech industry. It was a very informative Conversation and we are eager to have her return for Part II. Thank you Susama! Wonderful to have you back at TCS!...

Every year The Lyric holds an event to lift up the creativity and ideas of young people through the Dream Big contest. This year's prompt was: "What is the one thing you would change to make the world a better place?" This year 12th grade student Rhys Guilfoyle won in the Dreamers category. His essay was on the need for action on climate change and his concern that not enough is being done about it with the younger generation having to take action. Quinn Guilfoyle won in the Strivers category with a poem about the importance of everyone in society being appreciated and having a voice. Winners were honored on stage at The Lyric tonight in a culture-filled program including music by Antonio Eyez, two amazing dance performances, and a lively youth Brass Band from the BSO. The program included footage on the big screen of The Lyric program at TCS with interviews of our students. Congratulations to Rhys and Quinn and to all those honored at tonight's event and a special thanks to Denise Gantt, Ebony Evans and our friends at The Lyric for celebrating and amplifying youth voices.    ...
