Mission FitEach day after school you can find many of the students from TCS at the Mission Fit gym working out. This Remington program provides a great opportunity for them to improve their physical strength and stamina after a long day in class.  Recently WJZ featured Mission Fit in a story that included an interview with TCS student Janiah Tillery.  Students Marcus McKeever, Donald Lacy, and Donavin Hooper can also be seen working out in the background. Special thanks to Mission Fit founder Wendy Wolock for opening up this opportunity for our students. To watch the story follow this link: WJZ Story on Mission Fit

This week’s TCS Student News was written, produced, and anchored by TCS students Daj’a White and India Smith.  They update s on the presidential primaries, conflict with Iran, and some science news as well as a recap of major events at the school this week.

CPR CertificatesThe students received their CPR and First Aid certifications today from Iacoboni Site Specialists Safety Officer Mark Henckel.  Every student and several staff earned their certifications in an all day seminar conducted by Mr. Henckel several weeks ago. The CPR certification is good for 2 years and the First Aid certification is valid for 3 years.

Mr. Don's Gym ClassThough usually wearing his hat as the longtime Creative Writing Seminar teacher at the school, Don Riesett filled in as the gym teacher today.  The school’s physical education teacher, Sasha Draper, is on maternity leave and our terrific substitute, Eduardo Viana, was unable to teach today so Mr. Don stepped up to the plate. All of the students really enjoyed the class. Student Sadie Greenwood stated, “We never sweated so much in gym before!” Thanks, Mr. Don!!

Islam PresentationLongtime neighbor of the school Mohammad Farouk Islam spoke to the Year 2 class today about the religion of Islam.  He shared some stories about growing up in Bangladesh and working in Saudi Arabia before becoming a permanent resident of the United States many years ago.  Mohammad talked about the pillars of Islam and explained his view that it is a religion of peace and a guide to living, and not a belief to be forced on everyone.  When asked about ISIS, Mohammad said that groups such as that distort Islam and are not what he considers true followers.  The students were very interested in his presentation and hope to have him back to continue the conversation

Dr. George Tilson, Jr.All of the students expressed their appreciation to Dr. George Tilson as he wrapped up his last class of the year as leader of the Year 1 Job Readiness Seminar. George has served as adjunct faculty at a number of colleges and universities including George Washington University. Today’s seminar focused on entrepreneurship as he divided the class into 3 groups to each design a free standing business. The students had a terrific time presenting their “businesses” to the school.  Thank you George!
