[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""] We watched a powerful documentary in school today. "All the Empty Rooms" is an award-winning documentary short sharing the story of families who lost a child in a school shooting. This was done by photographing the empty bedrooms left as a kind of shrine to the children. It was raw and powerful. Too often our attention span to tragedy is fleeting and action becomes a missed opportunity. I recommend that you take thirty minutes to experience this film.

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""] Having just seen a play about Baltimore, the students were shown two videos offering further perspective on the city—the opening scenes of “Hairspray” and “The Wire.” They were then tasked to share their own views. JUDAH…takes us back to the city’s founding in 1729 and the realities of slavery.  POV Baltimore in 1729 It was just an ordinary Monday. Everyone was in World History class. I don’t really remember, but I was pretty sure Mr. Meade was talking about slavery when everything went wrong. Normally, Jason would’ve been the only person to fall asleep, but this time me, Danny, Riley, Mohamed, Ethan, Jordan, Kennedy, Madisyn, and Khori all fell asleep at the same exact time.  When I woke up, the sun was beaming in my eyes, and when I looked around, I finally realized, I was no longer inside the classroom; I was on a cotton plantation! Massa: “N*gger why is you standing there actin’ like you just woke up from a dream? Pick the f*ckin’ cotton n*gger.” Mohamed: “Oh I’m so sorry Massa. You have to excuse my friend over here, he just got off the boat.”  Massa: “Well keep him in check, wouldn’t want you boys to have any problems, now would you?” Mohamed then turned to me and said with a confused look on his face: Mohamed: “What’s up with you? Is you trying to get us whipped?” Me: “What are you talking about, bro? Where are we, and why is that dude dressed as a slave master and why does he remind me of Ruth so much? Mohamed: “I don’t know...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""] Having just seen a play about Baltimore, the students were shown two videos offering further perspective on the city—the opening scenes of “Hairspray” and “The Wire.” They were then tasked to share their own views. RYLEE…offers a humorous take on birds, softball, and Oreos. Experienced City On Wednesday, we saw a play called No Mean City. The play went into the history of Baltimore, which was nice in all honesty, but one of the main things that stuck out to me in the play was the Baltimore Orioles, which was really the only thing I resonated with.  For background, growing up, I would often hear my dad speak about Orioles and Ravens. Which happened to lead my family to go to an Orioles game. Now as my dad spoke about the Orioles, I thought he was referring to the cookies Oreos. So when we appeared at a stadium, I was confused to say the least. Especially because I didn't grasp the concept of being at a baseball game. I likely went to  more baseball games after that, just not ones I remember. I It wasn't until I started to play softball that I actually understood the culture of baseball. No, I'm not talking about the white American culture of it, but more of my 10u team singing chants, spraying water on each other because of the severe heat, and our pants being covered in brown chalky dirt from sliding into home plate. But for me at the time, that was the culture of softball. It wasn't until later...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]The students were making beats in a special workshop with musician George Hagegeorge. The session started with a lesson that walked through thee history of automated percussion tracing back to the 13th century. Today, these beat machines have become a standard in music production. Using an app based on the Roland TR-808, the students then got to work creating their own tracks and sharing them with the class. Some of the music produced may end up in experimental films that the students will be working on in May. It was terrific to have George back with us and we appreciate him sharing his talent and knowledge with us.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]We had an amazing time experiencing the Towson University Planetarium. This high tech exploration of space and the universe was like no other. We learned much about the structures and forces at work beyond our planet and efforts by humans to learn about the stars and space throughout history.  It was eye opening and awe inspiring. Special thanks to Astronomy Professor Chris Ready for guiding us through this journey, Towson staff Michele Eastwood for scheduling us and TCS Trustee Fleesie Hubbard for arranging and making this experience possible.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]This month's Financial Literacy seminar was an open Question & Answer session with the students able to ask anything on their minds. Housing - purchase vs renting - and long term investing were the main topics.  Kathleen Gower and Matt Hess represented Berman McAleer this month and fielded all of the questions. Matt also did a special presentation using a spreadsheet on the board to show the impact of compound interest rates by putting even a small amount of money away in an investment fund. Thank you BMc, Kathleen, and Matt for a terrific seminar and the Chick-Fil-A lunch![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""]The ins and outs of nutrition was the theme of a special health seminar led by nursing students from the University of Maryland. It was not only informative, but also tailored to be practical and helpful for teenagers. The students set personal goals and also made plans, supported by the school to eat a healthy breakfast.  We followed this up with a trip to Sam's Club to stock the school with fresh fruit, oatmeal, yogurt and bagels. This was the 1st of a 4 part series that will be held through the end of the year.  We are excited about this new partnership and thankful to faculty advisor Gina Robinson and students Chava, Simona, Kennedy and Rivkah.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=""] The topic was Fatherhood, but the set-up was a video about men who experienced domestic violence as children, then carried it forward as adults, until “fatherhood” changed everything. RUTH…turns the topic on its head, with her tribute to her mom in “Womanhood.” Womanhood Going through domestic abuse is NOT for the weak. It’s something that can scar you for life. I have personally seen my mom go through it on multiple occasions. I’ve mentioned it before when I wrote stories in honor of my mom.  If some of you don’t know, my mom grew up in El Salvador. She lived in a decently big family that consisted of four young daughters in total and workaholic parents. My grandparents were tired after long days of work and would come home to take care of their children. The way my mom described her story growing up was that she would see her sisters getting beaten by my grandpa. Sometimes it could’ve been because one of my aunts misbehaved or because my grandpa didn’t like something that one of them did. My mom said she was a good kid and never had too many beatings, which I honestly don’t fully believe. She just wants to put up a good picture of herself for us. Still, even through all the hardships, my mom came to the United States to find the means to help her family. Around 2005, my mom met my dad. They were together for a good three years before my mom got pregnant with Karla. Two months after Karla was...
