Natasha PlantingEven though we are still in the throes of winter, Greenhouse seminar leader Molly McCullagh and the students are preparing for spring gardens. Teams of 2 students each are planting early spring crops such as spinach, lettuce and rosemary preparing for our early April plant sale. The students are responsible for the care of the plants and chronicling their growth on a garden blog. Watch for details of the list of plants that will be available for purchase and the sale dates.  In this photo, student Natasha Martin is planting spinach.

RoboticsA month-long Robotics Seminar wrapped up today with a competition course.  More than half of our students came to the school on 3 Saturdays in January for full day lessons in electrical engineering and coding while each put together and programed their robots. The class was led by Johns Hopkins student Peter Tanaka under the guidance of Margaret Hart and with a large crew of JHU student volunteers.  Funding was provided by the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Johns Hopkins University.

CCBCWe were honored to be visited by Kenneth Westary, Vice President of Institutional Advancement for the Community College of Baltimore County. Mr. Westary was invited to meet our students, learn about our school, and discuss an ongoing relationship between TCS and CCBC.  Plans are for 3rd Year TCS students to take courses at the community college both to be introduced to the college setting and  to earn college credits will still attending high school.

Dr. Alan ScottProfessor of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, Dr. Alan Scott, presented to Year 2 Students today.  The students were keenly interested and attentive as Dr. Scott spoke about his research in malaria.  He traced the disease process as well as efforts to combat and eliminate malaria worldwide.  Of special interest to the students was the link between sickle cell anemia as an adaptation to malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa. Dr. Scott has offered to return as well as link other faculty from the School of Public Health to The Community School.

MedStar VisitRepresentatives from MedStar Union Memorial Hospital spoke as part of the Job Readiness Seminar today. Presenters included Mitchell Herbert, Regional Director of Strategic and Business Planning along with Kenny Foster, from security; Allison Hammerbacher, from radiology; and Marlon Davis from housekeeping. They each talked about their jobs as well as their career paths and lessons learned along the way.  Facilitating the presentation were Dr. George Tilson and Peggy Lashbrook, the leaders of our Job Readiness Seminar series. This was a followup to a visit that the students had with MedStar President Brad Chambers last May where he spoke about the many kinds of jobs available at the hospital.  Several students want to enter the medical field and others saw opportunities for careers in operations.

Circle KThere were a lot of smiling faces in the room today thanks to the Circle K organization at Johns Hopkins University. This student group, armed with Christmas wish lists from each TCS student, did their best to make the holiday extra special.  This the first year for this project arranged by Circle K member Vishaan Nursey who is also an active member of the JHU-CSI group that conducts weekly science labs at the school.  The gifts were deeply appreciated.
