Updates were also given on Space Lab, a student Tyleiah Trusty's success on the lacrosse field, upcoming fundraisers, our first trip of the year to the library, and gratitude for all those who helped in the last week....

Be the Bridge was both the message brought and the name of the organization represented in today's Conversation with John Bruce and Ken Bancroft.  They told the story of growing up on opposite sides of the 28th Street bridge one white and one black. Ken, born and raised in Remington and a longtime part of The Community School, gave a history lesson on redlining and segregation laws in Baltimore that created this divided and unequal condition. Both John and Ken spoke about their experience growing up in this racial divide and the impact it had on their lives.  John shared stories about his continuing experiences with racism and recounted a particularly moving and harrowing story about being stopped by the police on his way to work at Goddard Space Center. Student Tyleiah Trusty reacted to their presentation with these words, "Things that happened in their day are still happening today and there really needs to be a change."...

We are excited to announce a new weekly science lab at the school.  Elaine Lewis, a long time staff member at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center has initiated a Space Lab that this year will focus on the Sun and the Parker Space Probe. This series begin with a tour at Goddard just prior to the end of last school year. Elaine has traveled all over and was responsible for developing curriculum to explain the missions and the science process and discoveries developed through NASA. She regaled the students with stories from her Goddard sponsored trip to Utqiagvik (also known as Barrow Alaska) the northern most populated place in the United States and home of the Inuit people. From there, they documented and filmed the auroras of the Northern Lights. The students are very engaged and excited about this new feature of The Community School....

Even though the students spend time each week with Eduardo Viana, today they learned so much more about his life and lessons learned along the way. Mr. Eduardo is the physical education teacher and has worked with TCS students for several years now. These classes are held at The GreenMount School who kindly supports the school through the use of their gym and support of Eduardo. He was born in the state of Maranhao in northeastern Brazil and taught in Brazil, the Bahamas and the United States.  He is proficient in several martial arts and trains others as well as competes. There was a lively discussion with the students.  "It was nice to see him in a different view," Claude said, "and not just in the gym setting." Jacob spoke for many students when he said, “I feel like I know him better now which creates a better bond and more respect for what he has gone through to get where he is today.”...

This is the 2nd year that Circle of Love-Maryland has partnered with The Community School. Suzanne Allen, whose son Thomas Magaha graduated from the school,  Lori Wilgis and Charlotte Loetz all visited the school for a conversation about their work and the importance of giving back. Connie Martin, whose grandson Larry Kearns also is a TCS alumnus, was unable to make it. Circle of Love grew out of friendships between women in this community  who wanted to perform and encourage habits of good deeds in hopes of fostering a more caring Maryland. Last year they supported the students with a monthly gift and a Scavenger Hunt as a major fundraiser. The conversation with the students became very personal with stories of overcoming challenges an hardship while being thankful for what you have....
