Special Thanks to Fleesie Hubbard and Teri Henderson for setting up this tour and offering many insights during our visit. Thanks also to TCS art teacher Leandra Laird for accompanying us and enriching the experience. Gratitude to the BMA for welcoming us and for sponsoring this exhibit. ...
We had our last Home Repair Seminar of the year with our friends from Done Construction today. They started us off with a delicious Mediterranean lunch followed by a Conversation with their special guest Harry Zhong, Group Project Manager at Stanley Black & Decker. He talked about his education in engineering that led him to product design and improvement. Harry works very closely with the folks from Done who give feedback on their tools including working with prototypes in progress. The seminar wrapped up with the folks from Done talking about their favorite tools. The students talked bout their favorite home repair seminars this year and Done sharing ideas about next year. We are so appreciative of all the folks from Done Construction - Beth, Sarah Senior, Catesby, Sarah Junior, and Kristin - for some great seminars this year! thanks as well to Harry Zhong for coming in today....

Our study on World War II became very real today. Two of The Community School's regular volunteers did presentations on WWII veterans that personalized our studies. Ms. Leah spoke about her husband (and Mr. Tom's uncle) Samuel Culotta who enlisted in the Navy at the age of 17 and was part of 9 landing invasions in the Pacific during the war. Ms. Leandra spoke about her father, Roger Evans, who also enlisted at 17 and was a submariner during the war in the Pacific and ended up in a Japanese Prison Camp for over 3 years. They shared stories, photographs, articles and artifacts of these young men who were the same age as our students. These deeply personal and meaningful stories about courage, sacrificing for something bigger than yourself, perseverance in the face of death and unimaginable conditions touched everyone in very profound ways. It is a goal of this school to make the curriculum come alive, to not just see or hear it, but feel it and think about how it relates to your life and understanding of the world. We honor the memory of Roger Evans and Samuel Culotta and thank Leandra Laird and Leah Culotta for sharing them with us....
