The students were very fortunate to have special guest lecturer Dr. Kathleen Riley come in from Delaware yesterday to speak to the American Sign Language classes. ASL I learned about the basic function of the ear, hearing loss, and treatment and technology such as the cochlear implant. Dr. Riley then spoke to both ASL classes about genetics and deafness. This really enhanced the understanding of those studying biology as well. Dr. Riley is adjunct professor in audiology at Salus University and the University of Delaware and has spent her lifetime working as an audiologist with deaf children mostly through the Delaware School for the Deaf. She has worked with Peggy Lashbrook for many years. One of the special features of Peggy's ASL classes is a focus on deaf culture and this was also an important part of today's presentation. Thank you Kathi and Peggy! ...

The students recently attended the current Center Stage production of the iconic play, “Our Town.” Their subsequent Creative Writing topic: “My Town” wherein “their town” might be a city, a neighborhood, a room, or a state of mind. Here is Danny’s thoughtful essay. MY TOWN My town is my room. I don’t really do things outside like most kids in my age range. Because of this, I don’t know any streets or any people in my neighborhood. My room suffices as a town in my opinion. It’s where I do everything I like. It’s where I read Manga, where I look into philosophy, where I eat, where I sleep, and where I watch videos. It’s ironic in a way. Because of social media, people’s “worlds” have become smaller. They have access to limitless communication and knowledge of the world at the touch of a button. In some ways, this is negative. I am no different. My town isn’t special. Like many other “towns,” it has a bed, television, a dresser and closet to store your clothes, and a gaming console if you’re interested in that. On my window sill, I have many books. On my dresser I have miscellaneous items like a blacklight, usually my keys, and a spare charger. I have cards for various events and celebrations, mostly from past birthdays, but some from graduations. On my TV stand there are many video games that I don’t play very often, and my town has windows that I rarely ever look out of during the day. I only ever...

The students recently attended the current Center Stage production of the iconic play, “Our Town.” Their subsequent Creative Writing topic: “My Town” wherein “their town” might be a city, a neighborhood, a room, or a state of mind. Here is Jayla's thoughtful essay. My Town The town of Broadway, population unknown. Broadway is filled with different races--black, Hispanic, white. Most mornings it's quiet, people walking to get to school, people getting in their cars to head to work, people returning home from the previous day of work. However, on certain days, the mornings can be crazy. Couples yelling at each other, people talking loud on the phone, people blasting music, or just screaming for absolutely no reason. When I wake up in the morning, I get dressed, clean myself up, and head out the door. I get to school by car, get home by car, pretty much all my transportation is by car. Everyone else is either driving, or at the bus stop. Most mornings, there are at least 30 people gathered around the bus stop waiting. My town is filled with a lot of loss. Every couple weeks someone has lost their life. It’s crazy how fast it happens in my town. It always happens right across the street. Literally walking distance. If I left my house and went across the street, I’d be standing in the middle of a crossfire. Jays is the name of a store. Everyone goes there to get their half and half, fried rice, shrimp and broccoli, chicken box, or the famous chicken tenders...

Thank you to all of our friends at Baltimore Center Stage for inviting us to attend the play Our Town today! It was an amazing performance that captivated all of the students. It was entertaining and thought provoking at the same time. This contemporary and homegrown version of the Thornton Wilder work was interpreted and made recognizable for our students by director Stevie-Walker Webb, the actors and all those who put on the performance. The play is running through early October and we unanimously recommend that you go see it! Center Stage has enhanced the educational experience of our students for years through inviting us to attend their plays, providing playwriting seminars, giving a private tour of their departments and facility and by their staff visiting our school for conversation. We are so grateful for Baltimore Center Stage!! ...

Tonight had to be one of the best Sponsor/Student meetings we ever had! There was a lot of personal sharing by students, parents and sponsors about overcoming difficulties on the path to success. The support and sense of community were inspiring. The meeting started with an advanced special preview of TCS Student News for this week by Chase and Kevin that received rave reviews! This year is off to a great start! We have much to be thankful for! ...

We had a really terrific "Conversation with.." two recent alumni today - Claude Nicholson (Class of '21) and Ronan Guilfoyle (Class of '22). They talked about their experiences in college as well as at TCS. The students had a lot of questions about both. Claude and Ronan gave a lot of advice and insight into how to make the most of your years at TCS and how it will prepare you for life and college if you do. Ronan is in college with a dual major in Cinematic Arts and English. Claude is in his second year at Loyola University in a 5 year Bachelor's/Master's program in accounting. It was a real pleasure having these two graduates in for a conversation. We are very proud of them. ...
