The students observed Day of NO Silence today to stand up for LGTBQ+ rights.  This special day was started by 2 college students back in the 1990's and has grown into a day for students around the country to protest the harmful effects of harassment and discrimination of LGBTQ+ people in schools. A group of students in the school put together a presentation and hosted a discussion to educate about these issues. They covered definitions of words commonly used to describe members of the LGBTQ+ community as well as the history of the movements and the changes in law, both in this country and around the world. The Community School has long welcomed and appreciated all into our community.  This statement is from our Honor Code that is posted in every room and signed by students and staff: "We will respect and appreciate individuals of different races, cultures, religions, genders, sexual orientations, abilities and national origins.  We will be careful when talking, not cursing or using words that put down a person’s circumstances or background or speaking offensively about others, whether in or out of their presence." We are proud of every one of our students and their commitment to creating a safe and comfortable environment for all.  ...

"Walk a Mile in my Dreams" This was the name of the exhibit of the multifaceted work of Baltimore artist Joyce J. Scott that we visited at the Baltimore Museum of Art today. The students were spellbound at the deeply meaningful works of art whether intricate beadwork, larger than life sculptures, one of a kind handmade and decorated clothes, video performances and more from this artist of seemingly unlimited creativity. In one room, visitors were encouraged to participate in collective works of art by weaving their own designs on several looms. At the end of our time there, students shared their feelings about whch works stood out or spoke to them the most. It was a great experience. Our thanks to the Baltimore Museum of Art and also to TCS Board of Trustee member Fleesie Hubbard for arranging this tour....

We were honored to have a lively Conversation with Nygel D. Robinson today. Nygel is one half of the team that wrote and acted in the play Mexodus that we saw at Baltimore Center Stage yesterday. We learned a lot about Nygel's life, passions and work. He talked about the process of writing and creating the play with his work partner and friend Brian Quijada and the students shared what they took away from it. But the conversation went so much deeper. It was a far reaching conversation sharing concerns about the state of our country and world and the hopes and dreams for both the students and Nygel. After the Conversation, Karla, Kendall and Ethan took Nygel on an extended tour of our school and explained how the school works. It was a great experience for all. The students really loved their time with Nygel and look forward to his next visit with Brian when Mexodus has a run in Washington next month. We appreciate Nygel and his generous sharing of time, talent and perspective with us!...

The students attended one of the best plays any of us have ever seen today! We saw Mexodus at Center Stage. It's only showing through the weekend but if you can get tickets, we highly recommend it! It is a musical masterpiece utilizing various genres including hip hop to tell the little told story of the underground railroad of those escaping slavery who went to Mexico. The multi-talented playwrights Nygel Robinson and Brian Quijada were also the actors in this two person captivating play. We deeply appreciate our long relationship with Baltimore Center Stage who invite us to attend several of their plays every year. Stay tuned for more on this tomorrow!...

We were honored to have Ulyana Bezkorovayna join us in conversation today. Ulyana is from Ukraine and spoke personally about the war of Russian aggression and its impact on the people and the country. Many of Ulyana's family and friends continue to live in Ukraine though she was able to bring her parents here recently. The students have been closely following the news of the war since its inception and had many questions for Ulyana. The discussion was both personal and analytical. This was an informative, touching and enlightening conversation. It shed a light on an issue that we are all deeply concerned about. We deeply appreciate Ulyana's generous sharing of her time with us. ...
