Breaking Adult Code was the theme of the last set of art classes for the term this year.  The students have been learning the art of  cursive and developing their fine motor skills in this course. Our weekly art classes ended the year today.  We are so fortunate to have Leandra Laird as our teacher and guide for this class. Leandra brings her calming presence, considerable talent and over 25 years of teaching experience at Loyola into our classroom. Among the offerings for this year, Leandra taught two point perspective drawing and carved stamp printing. Some of the students' work will be on display at the End of Year gathering on June 8th as well as gracing the walls of their homes. We are deeply grateful to Leandra for expanding our students talent and creativity while teaching technique and art appreciation....

Today was our last weekly Physical Education Class of the year! This student favorite is taught by Eduardo Viana who not only is a first rate teacher, but an excellent mentor as well. In addition to such regulars as gymnastics and soccer, he has introduced the students to nontraditional sports such as cricket and the Afro-Brazilian cultural art of Capoeira from his native Brazil. Though today was the last official class, the students look forward to helping out with The GreenMount School school Field Day fun and festivities this Friday. We welcome this opportunity to give back and help Eduardo and the younger students. These classes take place at The GreenMount School who have kindly enabled our physical education classes for over a decade now. Our thanks to The GreenMount School community with special appreciation to Eduardo for his dedication to our students and engagement as a key member of our TCS team....

Peggy Lashbrook just wrapped up teaching her American Sign Language courses for the year. Peggy has been coming in every Tuesday to teach two different level courses in ASL that cover not only the language itself but also takes an in-depth look at deaf culture. She brings her lifetime of dedication to the deaf and blind communities that has included many roles from direct service and teaching to consulting and administration. Peggy has coordinated deaf-blind programs for the State of Delaware and also taught at the College of New Jersey. The students are very fortunate to have this breadth of experience brought into their classroom every week. For nearly twenty years Peggy has been a cornerstone of The Community School from her dedicated work in grant writing and resource development to preparing our case to become a state certified high school. She is also quite famous among the students for providing her weekly home cooked lunches every Tuesday. We are so appreciative of having Peggy Lashbrook as a vital part of the TCS community and for all she does to enhance the educational experience of our students!...

A feast for the eyes and a challenge to our thinking - That was our experience yesterday as we visited the American Visionary Arts Museum. This unique Baltimore gem features art in a wide variety of mediums from untrained artists with no shortage of creativity, talent or vision! This is well worth a visit and we are looking to return in the Fall. Our thanks to museum Co Executive Director Valerie Williams for inviting us, Diamond Gray for welcoming us and Mr. Ted for introducing and explaining various pieces of art to us including the back story behind the works. It was an amazing experience! https://www.avam.org/ ...

We had a most amazing time visiting the offices of our friends at Berman McAleer (BMc). These kind folks have been conducting monthly Financial Literacy Seminars for our students for several years now. Virtually the whole company suspended operations for several hours to meet with our students, both in small groups and individually, to talk about the student's career goals and answer their financial questions. The students also had a tour of the BMc offices and learned about both BMc's work and their admirable workplace culture. Another highlight was the lunch where the staff from BMc shared food and conversation with the students. We deeply appreciate the generosity that BMc has shown for our students and school. Our thanks extends to the founders, partners and all of the staff who so thoughtfully showed such care for our students, listening to their dreams and plans, and sharing their wisdom with them. A special thanks to kathleen Gower for co-ordinating this effort. Thank you all for a great year and a memorable day!...

We saw the classic play "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde at Center Stage today. this Victorian Era play was like an old soap opera with great characters and witty lines. As always, the folks at Center Baltimore Center Stage treated us kindly not only by inviting us to the play, but also giving us seats right on the stage for an up close and personal experience. This was the last play of the year and we are so thankful for all of the folks at Center for how they enrich our lives and the cultural offerings in Baltimore. A special thank you to Janal and Emily who are the team that does the youth programing for Center Stage and coordinates the partnerships with schools!...
