Billboard

When you’re driving by the corner of 36th & Falls Road in Hampden, be sure and look up to see our new billboard. It was designed by the creative team of Don & Sande Riesett, long time TCS volunteers.  Don developed the idea from a pattern he noticed in working with the students on their writing where they often mentioned that they are in the school because they want to “Be Somebody.” There are posters with the design popping up all over the area as we seek out students for the new term beginning in the fall. Thank you Don & Sande for developing this campaign and to you both and all of the other kind people who put up the resources to publicize it.

The students were privileged today to  be invited to lunch by friend of the school Fumiko Campbell.  Ms. Fumiko was born and raised in Japan, but came to live here after marrying Arthur Campbell. She has been involved in community service for many years and sits on the board of the Maryland Science Center.  Most of her activities center around St. Agnes Hospital where she once worked and has been a volunteer putting in more than 25,000 hours. After lunch, Fumiko shared her traditional culture with the students showing them various items from Japan.  It was a terrific experience and enthralled the students.

The school has begun a new student recruitment campaign to encourage applications for the 2014/2015 school term. If you are 14-17, graduated or about to graduate 8th grade, and serious about wanting a first-rate education, than you should put in application now because seats are limited. Applications are available at the school or on the Admissions page of this website: http://tcs-camp.com/programs/high-school/admissions/

Cirque Michael JacksonMembers of the school community had the opportunity to attend the Cirque du Soleil Michael Jackson show this evening at the Baltimore Arena. The students had a terrific time and we all thank the organization Tickets for Kids out of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for arranging for us to be able to attend the show.

Weekly science labs conducted by the Johns Hopkins University Community School Initiative (CSI) are continuing this semester.  This student group made up of both undergraduate and graduate students has been active for 5 years enhancing the science education at TCS.  Labs include biology, chemistry and physics and are always a highlight of the academic week.  We deeply appreciate their efforts and that of the Center for Social Concern at JHU for their support.

Advisory Board member and decades long supporter of TCS, Paul Coates, visited the school today.  He brought with him two special guests, long time activist Dhoruba Moore and Civil rights attorney Bob Boyle.  They were in town for the long-awaited release of Eddie Conway who had been wrongly imprisoned for over 40 years.  During their visit they took the time to learn about each of the students and their goals for the future as well as sharing some of the history of the Black Panther Party.  We appreciated the time they spent with us on this busy day.
