This edition of TCS Student News was researched, written, produced and anchored by students Claude Nicholson and Masadey Blalock. National and International news includes tension between the US and Iran, UK/Russia tensions in the Arctic, , changes in US relations with Honduras, and fasting for your health. TCS News included a report on a lunch visit and continued conversation with ACIM, a conversation with Circle of Love, recognition of TCS friend and Ravens Hometown Hero Matthew White, welcoming Jacob Cougle as a permanent student, JHU-CSI science lab, and gratitude for all those who helped in the last week.

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.

Pictured above are TCS students Jordan Leon and Donald Lacy who were brought to the game by Mr. Don. They were brought on the field during the ceremony by Matthew. The students are familiar with Matthew through his visit to the school at the invitation of Sande and Don Riesett where he was a speaker in our “Conversation with…” series.

Music and Mentoring are two of the passions highlighted by our Conversation with Imani Yasin today.  She discussed and played her music videos and the significance of showing images that are often missing in the hi-hop community. Imani shared her personal story and inspired the students with her courage, drive and independent thinking. Masadey Blalock said this in reaction to Imani’s visit, “I really like Imani. She is very inspiring. She talked about thing some people older than her would be afraid of. She is very confident.” In addition to being a hip-hop artist and songwriter, Imani is also the Director for High School Programs at Sister Circle, a mentoring organization for young women that works with TCS. Imani is also the sponsor and aunt of one of our students Neenah Payne.
