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!
Friend of the school Joe Manko came back to TCS for a “Conversation with…” today. Joe is the Program Officer for Education of The Abell Foundation. The Abell Foundation is a long time supporter of the school and Mr. Manko has been a big part of this for the last 5 years.
Joe not only shared his own life journey that included a stint in Teach for America and being teacher and principal in the Baltimore Public School System, but he also was keenly interested in the students and their experience in our school. The students and Mr. Manko had a lively conversation sharing their views about problems and solutions in the education systems as well as sharing their hopes and goals.
We deeply appreciate our relationship with Mr. Manko and The Abell Foundation and are thankful for their belief in our students and program.
A biology major and health researcher who switched careers midlife to interior design was our “Conversation with…” guest today. Shalon Edwards came into the school with Beth Pointer as part of the monthly Done Construction seminar. Shalon shared her educational and career journey and the joy in following your passions and importance of doing work that fulfills you. She also talked about the many skills involved and careers available in interior decorating.
Shalon shared her first project in woodworking where she made a beautiful inlaid box all made from wood that resembles a gift package.
This was an interesting conversation and we thank Shalon for sharing her time with us and to Beth and the women at Done for constantly expanding our knowledge and exposure!
