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.    ...

As part of our celebration of Women's History, we watched a documentary about the origins of the modern women's liberation movement. She's Beautiful When She's Angry is an excellent source on thee various challenges that women faced as second class citizens in society and the steps taken to make change toward a more just society. It not only exposed the students to this period in American history but also on how movements get started often with small numbers of people who have the courage and vision to stand up. After watching the film, the students commented on the impact it had on them and how the struggle for equality is an ongoing challenge....

We kicked off our volunteer day in celebration of Neumann University with a special greeting by university President Dr. Chris Domes and his wife Mary. In line with its values, Neumann is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a pledge to perform 60,000 hours of service. Today, at the campus, volunteers set a goal of making 30,000 meals to distribute to the community while at TCS we had a project to create a pleasant seating area and flower gardens around the school. The Community School has a relationship with Neumann University that goes back over 10 years, and we will forever be grateful for the support they have extended to our school and students. Our thanks to the students, families, sponsors and alumni for lending a hand and especially Ruth Evelyn "Susie" Schmidt for co-ordinating the planting part of the project. Special thanks to Hillcrest Nursery for donating the flowers, Ms. Kathleen for donating a bench and to all of those who donated money, items and time to make this day successful.

We were honored to have Jellema Stewart come in for a Conversation today representing the Johns Hopkins University Center for Social Concern. Jellema is the newly appointed Associate Director for Community Engagement, but is no stranger to The Community School. Jellema talked about her educational and career journey and shared her perspective on positive community engagement.  She intently listened to the students share their stories about issues from education to immigration to violence. It was an enlightening conversation for all. Our school has had a relationship with the Center for Social Concern since its inception.  Currently,  they make it possible for Johns Hopkins students Maneeza and Haithem to support the school as part of the work study program.  We appreciate Jellema's visit and the support we receive from JHU-CSC.  ...

Our monthly session at The Lyric was a music session with musician Antonio Eyez. Antonio shared about his musical journey growing up in a musical family to becoming a professional musician.  He shared his inspirations including Jimi Hendrix and Prince and asked the students about who inspires them. The students did entries in their journals expressing their reactions to what's troubling them and then several read their words to Antonio's musical accompaniment.  In the second part of the session, Lyric Education Specialist Ebony Evans had the students break into groups, grab costumes and produce a musical video skit.  Everyone had a terrific time unleashing their creativity and learning from Antonio. Our appreciation to Denise Gantt, Ebony Evans and The Lyric for providing so many opportunities for our students over the years. A special thanks to Antonio Eyez for accompanying us on so many of these sessions, but especially for the musical journey he took us on today.  ...
