Dancing styles from ballet to jazz to West African were on display at The Lyric today as Aileycamp Baltimore performed. This group of 24 young artists shared their talent with the audience that was made up of students from throughout Baltimore City.

We had an amazing visit with our friends at the South Baltimore Learning Center (SBLC) today! They warmly welcomed us with a tour of their facility where we were able to see their great work in action. The tour ended with a lively conversation session with adult learners from their program as well as several of the staff. It started with a welcoming from Executive Director Melissa Smith Directors Antoinette Kennedy and Zina Barr. The students asked many questions from the challenges faced by adult learners to how the program operates. A focus was on the mission of the SBLC, their holistic approach to the participants in their program and their workplace culture and climate. After the conversation, the staff kindly fed us lunch and gave the students gifts. We made an instant connection with the folks from the South Baltimore Learning Center when we met them at an Associated Italian American Charities event. This was followed up by a visit to TCS from their senior staff as part of our "Conversation with...

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!...
